  How To Start Your Own Mobile Locksmithing Service
Just because locksmithing is a "personal" kind of business, and can be started on a shoestring and operated out of the home, that's not to say that a locksmithing service cannot be developed into a million dollar business.
Locksmiths who want to make the really big money should be investing all their early profits into more equipment and inventory up to a level where they can offer complete full-service locksmithing.
In many areas, the established locksmiths have been in business for 20 years or more, and are not interested in expanding their businesses to include the newer and more intricate types of protection available.

 Locksmithing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Locksmiths may be commercial (working out of a storefront), mobile (working out of a vehicle), institutional (employed by an institution) or investigational (forensic locksmiths) or may specialize in one aspect of the skill, such as an automotive lock specialist, a master key system specialist or a safe technician.
Locksmiths are frequently certified in specific skill areas or to a level of skill within the trade.

It is ironic that, even back then, Singer understood that being a locksmith was not only a technical achievement, but also one of the most honorable and trustworthy professions in the world.
But the title is misleading: "Locksmithing from Apprentice to Master." There's nothing in it for a master locksmith.
The section on "General locksmith law" is in the right place, in chapter 7, because if you tried to follow the advice you'd be filing for chapter 7 (or chapter 13 bankruptcy).
