Common questions

Does a locksmith have to be licensed in North Carolina?
Yes. Working as a locksmith for compensation in North Carolina requires a license from the Locksmith Licensing Board, and licensees are background-checked. It is one of the trades where the license exists mainly because of who you are letting into your home.
Why does it matter for a lockout or a rekey?
You are giving someone the ability to open your home or business. A licensed locksmith has been vetted by the board and can be complained about to it; an unlicensed one has neither.
Does the board publish disciplinary action?
Yes, and it is shown on the license page where recorded. Nothing recorded is not the same as a guarantee.
Who licenses locksmiths in North Carolina?
