Locksmiths

What is a locksmith?
Locksmiths make, service, repair code and recode locks; cut, make, sell and provide keys from numerical or alphabetic codes or both; and sell, service and repair safes, vaults or strongboxes, other than common strongboxes.

Do locksmiths need to be licensed?
All locksmith businesses and employees must be licensed under the Private Investigators and Security Agencies Act, with the exception of administrative staff (janitors, clerks, etc.) who do not supervise licensed employees; keycutters who only duplicate common keys, and wholesalers.

Each application for licensing is assessed on its own merit and requires Security Programs approval.

For information about a particular license please make a selection below:

• Business licences
• Employee licences

It is also possible to view the Registrar's policies relating to Locksmiths on this website.
