π‘οΈ Five questions to ask before you let any locksmith through your door.
In Queensland, not every person who calls themselves a locksmith actually is one. Before anyone starts work on your property β take sixty seconds and ask these five questions. π
Question 1 β Are you a verified MLAA member?
The Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia is the peak industry body for the locksmith profession in Australia. Membership requires strict professional and licensing standards. You can verify any locksmith's membership directly at masterlocksmiths.com.au.
Question 2 β Can you confirm the price before you begin?
A legitimate locksmith will give you an upfront quote before touching anything.
Question 3 β Will you attempt non-destructive entry first?
A skilled locksmith's first response is never the drill. If they reach for it immediately without attempting to pick or bypass the lock first β that tells you everything you need to know about their skill level and their intentions.
Question 4 β Do you have a verifiable business address?
A legitimate locksmith has a real, searchable shopfront β not just a phone number and a website. Morayfield Locksmiths: 2/56 Beerburrum Rd, Caboolture. Come visit us anytime.
Question 5 β Do you arrive in a clearly branded vehicle?
A professional locksmith operation runs clearly marked, branded vehicles. An unmarked car or van with no signage is a significant red flag β particularly late at night or in an emergency situation.
A legitimate locksmith will answer all five of these confidently and without hesitation. If they deflect, rush you or get defensive β do not proceed. ππ
