Inquire about your Locksmith’s reputation
It is important to know that there is no licensing requirement for locksmiths in the state of Florida. Nonetheless, some counties like Miami-Dade county still have a locksmith ordinance by which individuals and companies providing locksmith services to the public must abide. The Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) conducts a criminal background check of applicants before granting them a license. The Locksmith Ordinance applies to any person who installs, repairs, rebuilds, rekeys, repins, recodes, services, adjusts, opens or modifies locks, mechanical and electronic security locking devices and peripherals, safes, vaults, safe deposit boxes, and closed circuit television systems. Locksmiths and locksmith companies are required to have insurance, and to have proper identification from RER before performing any of these services. You should perform a search for your locksmith’s name or company name at the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website. Check for any complaints and how they’ve been handled. It is more interesting to see how complains were handled rather than how many complains your locksmith has had in the past. It’s one thing to have one or a few unhappy customers but trying to fix things and to make them happy is another and can go a long way. A serious locksmith in Indian Creek should have no problem sharing this information with you.
