About us..

Alan Gale..started as a mechanic from leaving school and worked on the YTS gaining a Level 2 city and guilds in motor vehicle technology but wanted to race motorcycles (which never happened) so decided to leave the trade after about 3 years due to the income was pretty poor back then.

Became a welder for Landrover/Jaguar and remained with them for around 7 years but realised the welding was no good for eyes..

Took volantary redundancy to travel the world (which never happened) and got a job as a forklift driver as it looked like fun!

Worked as a forklift driver for 12 years until again..company went into administration so got made redundant and needed a new career which was a bit more challenging.

The way i became a locksmith was after losing my keys to my Suzuki GSXR and after picking the petrol cap with an old car key filed into lots of little cuts like a skeleton key and after alot of wiggling i manged to open it, remove the cap and took it to an Auto locksmith who made me a new key which also worked the ignition!

I thought this was amazing so after a became redundant i invested the money into a locksmith course in 2006.

Luckily for me i picked the correct course of the Insitute of Certified Locksmiths and trained with a now world renound locksmith the art of picking locks..i got accredited and then i was headhunted into a world of revenue protection work. to which we run along the side of residential, commercial and industrial work and contracts.

Since that day i have built up my business with alot of reccomendations and repeat custom by not being a rip off company out to make a fast buck and putting the locksmith industry to shame as some unscupulous people do.
