Residential Locksmith Services Contractors in Oregon

Residential Locksmith Services Contractors (RLSC) are licensed by the Oregon CCB to provide locksmith services specifically within the context of residential construction and home services. There are currently 107 active RLSC licenses in Oregon.

The RLSC license covers lock installation, rekeying, and related security hardware services performed as part of residential construction projects or home improvement work - for example, a contractor who installs door hardware and locks as part of a larger renovation. It is distinct from the standalone Oregon Certified Locksmith (OCLS) license, which covers dedicated locksmith businesses offering emergency services, safe work, and commercial locksmith operations.

Like Home Services Contractors, RLSC licensees are exempt from CCB continuing education requirements. However, they must maintain the required CCB bond and insurance. Homeowners hiring locksmith services should verify which specific CCB credential the contractor holds - RLSC or OCLS - and confirm it matches the scope of work required.

For new construction or major renovation projects involving lock and security hardware installation, confirm that the contractor's RLSC license is Active before work begins. For emergency lockouts or dedicated security system installation, look for a contractor with an OCLS certification.
