What is the Locksmith Guild of Australia?

How to choose a locksmith in Sydney?

 

Ask your locksmith to show you their credentials and to demonstrate their experience. Ask them the following questions;

• Do you have a NSW Police Force Security Licence? Scope Security does
• Are they a Locksmith Guild of Australia Member? Scope Security is
• Are they are registered Australian Business? Scope Security is
• Do they have written reviews? Scope Security does

 

Locksmiths are required to be licensed in NSW by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) of the NSW Police Force. Licensed security businesses must display their Master security licence number on their premises and vehicle signage and include it in their advertising.

All applicants for a security licence are subject to rigorous background checks by the SLED, including:

• fingerprinting to confirm their identity

• a national criminal history record check

• a check of the NSW Police Force’s criminal intelligence holdings.

The SLED monitors successful applicants throughout the term of their licence and takes immediate action to remove from the NSW security industry persons confirmed as unsuitable.

Don’t take the unnecessary risk with your security.
