FAQ: Locksmith Safety & Vetting in Tampa
1. Why Locksmith Vetting Matters in 2025
With rising scams and security threats across Florida, homeowners can’t afford to take chances on “cheap” or unverified locksmiths.
A poorly vetted technician could:
Damage your lock or door
Upsell unnecessary services
Store your key code for future access
Put your household at risk
We exist to be the opposite of that.
2. Our 6-Point Background Screening Process
Every technician we hire goes through:
Statewide Criminal Background Check
Federal Background Screening
Sex Offender Registry Cross-Check
Driving Record Review (clean CDL required)
Identity Verification & Address Confirmation
Social/Employment Reference Checks (3 minimum)
“We don’t just check for red flags. We actively search for green lights—integrity, calm under pressure, and a reputation for doing the right thing.”
3. Required Certifications & Legal Compliance
All Pro On The Go Locksmiths are:
Fully Licensed in the State of Florida
Bonded & Insured — so you’re protected

Home Entry Protocol Drills
Client Communication Standards
Children & Elder Safety Awareness
Lock Failure Prevention Workshops
Ethics & Boundaries Training
We train like it’s your mom’s house—because one day, it might be.
5. Field Audits & Real-Time Oversight
Each van is GPS-monitored and each job is logged with:
Time of arrival and departure
Before/after photo documentation

This keeps our standards visible, trackable, and enforced.
