Statistics show that there are over 24,000 locksmith businesses alone in the U.S. – that’s over 500 locksmith businesses per state on average! Surprisingly only about 15 states require locksmith businesses to obtain a license before operating. Oregon is one of the few states that actually requires locksmiths to be properly licensed, bonded, and insured before operating.

Because of the nature of their business, and the demand for their services, the internet is flooded with tons of supposed locksmiths in any given city. Unfortunately, you can’t always guarantee they are certified so remember – any reputable locksmith in any state should be backed by the Associated Locksmiths of America.
