For your peace of mind, here are the guiding principles of the Code of Ethics for MLAA members:

In conducting their professional activities, the welfare and security of the community shall come before Members’ responsibility to the Association, the profession or to other Members.

Members shall act in an ethical manner so as to uphold the honesty, honour, integrity and reputation of the profession.

Members shall comply with both the spirit and the letter of all relevant laws and regulations of the Commonwealth, States and Territories, New Zealand and other jurisdictions in which they conduct business.

Members and their employees shall only perform work in their areas of competence.

Members shall build their reputation on merit and shall not compete unfairly.

Members shall apply their skill and knowledge in the interests of their clients or employers for whom they act in professional matters.

Members shall give advice, express opinions or make statements in an objective and truthful manner and on the basis of adequate knowledge.

Why choose a professional Locksmith over a Handyman?

The Security Industry is only semi-regulated. You do not need to be licenced or qualified to work as a locksmith.

This means anybody can call themselves a locksmith, car locksmith or mobile locksmith and attempt to provide locksmithing services. By choosing a professional locksmith who is a Member of the MLAA, you can be confident that you are dealing with a professional tradesperson who is qualified, licenced, fully insured, has access to the latest technology and works for a legitimate business, and must abide by a strict Code of Ethics.
