FAQ
- Which security licences must the buyer and locksmith staff hold?Check the proposed licence holder and individual operative classes against the work offered. NSW distinguishes business Master licences from operative licences such as Class 2C, and Master licences cannot be transferred; confirm the incoming entity's authority before continuing regulated locksmith services.
- How does the locksmith verify customers' authority to request access or key work?Review identification, property-authority checks, job authorisations, records, refusal procedures and staff supervision for the services provided. Test representative jobs and complaints, then confirm the buyer can maintain appropriate safeguards rather than assuming a completed invoice proves the request was properly authorised.
- Can master-key systems and restricted-key arrangements continue under the buyer's ownership?Review customer agreements, system ownership, supplier approvals, registered profiles, permitted duplication and secure record custody. Confirm transfer rights and authorised access, then assess service continuity without assuming the seller's supplier account or possession of key records grants the buyer equivalent permissions.
- Do emergency locksmith call-outs earn enough after travel and after-hours cover?Compare job receipts with dispatch, travel, technician hours, parts, unsuccessful attendance, refunds and return visits. Cost realistic out-of-hours staffing and owner replacement, then separate emergency and routine work before accepting profit claims supported by the seller's unpaid availability or long shifts.
- Will the locksmith retain property-manager and commercial maintenance accounts?Review contract terms, customer concentration, service levels, site-access permissions, pricing and approval requirements for ownership changes. Confirm the buyer's acceptance and staffing capacity, then value ongoing work after delivery costs rather than treating informal call-out preference as a contracted maintenance stream.
- What should I check about key-cutting equipment, programming tools and software included in the sale?Inspect ownership, condition, maintenance, supported applications, subscriptions, updates and supplier access for each important tool. Separate transferable equipment from personal accounts or restricted licences, then budget for replacement capability rather than assuming every machine and software feature remains usable after settlement.
