In determining the strengths and weaknesses of locks, the issue of “full disclosure” was raised in the context of locksmithing back in the early 20th century. It was a controversy regarding whether weaknesses in lock systems should be kept secret within the circle of locksmiths or be made public. Some persons deemed it dangerous to reveal the weaknesses of locks because it encourages more people to be dishonest and reveals to thieves these lock weaknesses. However, the ensuing argument proved this to be a fallacy. It is already proven by authorities that thieves are very keen in their profession, and already know more than any normal person can teach them. So these thieves already know the various weaknesses of various locks long before locksmiths discussed this topic among themselves. Making this knowledge known to the average person means that they can take the necessary precautions such as avoiding the purchase of known weak locks or they can increase the number of locks to the point that lock picking becomes tedious and a form of deterrence for intruders.
Due to the disclosure issue, locksmiths and locksmithing became a formal trade career. To ply the trade of locksmithing, it now required completion of some formal education and a completion of an apprenticeship to gain a certificate or full diploma. Additional training certificates can be earned from locksmith associations or manufacturers.
Locksmiths in Accord, MA certainly never fall short of these qualifications, especially the locksmiths from Mobile24-locksmiths who are all qualified, well trained, professionals, and experts in their fields of locksmithing.
