The Law is here to protect ciizens of the Cpmmpnwealth from being ripped off by people claiming to be Locksmiths. It also will help to protect legitimate locksmiths  providing quality security services. Customers come into our shop on a regular basis asking about a high bill they were charged by one of these bogus locksmiths.  Most locksmiths are usually one to three person operations. We can not compete with these large operations that buy four full pages of advertising and than list hundreds of numbers with phony addresses. A comment earlier about NOT carrying a license is just WRONG. This physical license allows the public to have proof a locksmith has been veted by the State and is allowed to preform work.  The State and the locksmith industry needs to educate the public about this new license.
