🚨 LOCKSMITH SCAM WARNING FOR NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS 🚨

While this ABC11 Troubleshooter investigation originally aired back in 2019, the issues it exposed STILL exist today.

The investigation highlighted unlicensed locksmiths operating through online ads and call centers across North Carolina. In multiple undercover stings:

* Locksmiths admitted they were NOT licensed
* Some were uninsured
* Customers were quoted one price, then charged more on-site
* Investigators documented poor training and unsafe practices
* One individual allegedly fled when confronted by investigators

North Carolina law REQUIRES locksmiths to be licensed.

Unfortunately, many consumers still do not realize that when they search online for a “local locksmith,” they may actually be reaching a national call center that dispatches whoever is available.

Before hiring a locksmith:
✅ Ask for their NC locksmith license
✅ Get pricing in writing BEFORE work begins
✅ Be cautious of vague pricing or bait-and-switch tactics
✅ Verify you are calling a real local locksmith company
✅ Pay with a credit card whenever possible

At Fuquay Locks, we strongly support consumer protection and professional licensing standards within our industry.

We are proud to be:

* Locally owned and operated
* North Carolina licensed
* Transparent with pricing
* Focused on professional, damage-free service

When you hire a locksmith, you are trusting someone with access to your home, business, or vehicle. That trust matters.

Undercover stings reveal the dangers unlicensed locksmiths pose to unsuspecting victims When you're locked out of your home or car, you call a locksmith for help. But if an unlicensed locksmith shows up to do the job it could cost you.

Lauren and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone at the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce Senior Expo today! We had a lot of visitors at our table and multiple business opportunities to follow up on! Can’t wait until next year! 🙂

A reminder to our neighbors: During Level 4 weather alerts, Fuquay Locks operates on an Emergency-Only basis. As a home-based business and safety volunteer, I prioritize keeping the roads clear for first responders and keeping my family safe. We will resume all standard key-cutting and shop services as soon as the alerts are lifted! Stay safe, Fuquay!
