KEY STATISTICS
In the year 2022 there were 250,690 police recorded home burglaries across England and Wales.
When averaged out that’s:
- 684 home burglaries a day
- A house burgled every 126 seconds
- Plus Scotland and Northern Ireland and all commercial burglaries another 50-60,000 premises
As these statistics indicate, locksmiths can reach many thousands of customers: from the homeowner who has locked themselves out to business owners looking to protect their merchandise from thieves.
The Lockfit Difference
- A comprehensive training programme prepares you to deliver a highly skilled locksmith service to both domestic and commercial customers.
- The licence to use the Lockfit brand and logo which is a recognisable and strong brand nationally that will get you noticed and gain you customers.
- Your marketing is critical to the success of your business, we like to dominate rather than compete.
- Personal branded stationery, uniforms, operating manuals, job sheets, downloadable resources and trade/supplier accounts.
- A comprehensive tool and equipment package, including quality power tools & specialised locksmith equipment.
- Initial stockholding to enable you to commence trading with confidence.
- A 24 hour business if you wish, marketing, technical and other support is available so you are never on your own as being in business can be very lonely but not the case with a franchise network.
Territory
Once you have been accepted as a LockFit franchisee you will be given your own designated territory within which to build and develop your business. We can also allocate you a much larger call-out territory which will provide additional, non-exclusive locksmith work if available through our network of national account customers.
