Service illustration · not a completed customer projectTHE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Start with an authorized schedule of which people or roles need access to each entry. Ask how the proposed key hierarchy fits the existing cylinders, how exceptions will be documented and who controls the keying records. Agree on key quantities, testing and handover; the business remains responsible for approving access assignments.
What may be involved
- master pin kits
- keying chart
- restricted or standard blanks
- change and master keys
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Miami
Planning your work
Miami-Dade County published a notice that, effective 1 July 2025, its Regulatory and Economic Resources department is no longer issuing licences for locksmiths and locksmith services businesses, in accordance with section 163.211 of the Florida Statutes, as the county no longer has regulatory authority over the occupation. The notice is about who issues the licence. It is not a statement that any individual provider is qualified, insured or trustworthy. Ask a provider what state licence, insurance and photo identification they carry, ask how they will verify that you are entitled to the property, and confirm what you are told before anyone works on your locks.
