Laws are Key to Cleaning up Locksmith Business

The last thing you want is to hand a criminal the keys to your home.

But when you call a locksmith in this state, you never know who's going to show up — a professional or a scofflaw trying to cheat unsuspecting customers.

Florida doesn't regulate the industry that consumers trust with access to homes, businesses and cars. That means no licensing, no competency tests, no background checks.
