FAQs


What is a Locksmith License and why is it important?

All locksmiths in the state of North Carolina are required to keep a valid NC Locksmith License.  This license certifies that the locksmith is legally allowed to provide locksmith services for hire in North Carolina.  Potential customers should get in the habit of asking to see a valid NC Locksmith License at the time of service.  Every licensed locksmith must complete an SBI/FBI background check and provide his or her fingerprints to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.  Each Locksmith License must be renewed every three years, and relevant continuing education requirements must also be satisfied.         

 Additionally, licensed locksmiths are obligated to uphold the Ethical Standards  imposed by the Board.  From the NCLLB website: "Have you been scammed by an unlicensed locksmith? Report it to the Attorney General: 919-716-6000. Providing locksmith services without a license is a potential Class I Misdemeanor. Any subsequent arrests for providing locksmith services without a license may be charged as a Class I Felony."

Do you provide emergency service?

Although our specialty is providing scheduled services (designing a master key system for your office building, rekeying your new house, repairing the deadbolt on your kitchen door, changing the locks on your retail storefront, upgrading the hardware on your warehouse, etc.), we'll happily respond to lockouts and other non-aµtomotive emergencies as often as possible.  Don't be afraid to ask; if our daily schedule allows, we'd love to help!
