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 105 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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Residential Locksmith Services Contractors

An RLSC (Residential Locksmith Services Contractor) covers lock installation and rekeying as part of residential construction or home improvement projects - for example, installing door hardware during a renovation. An OCLS (Oregon Certified Locksmith) covers standalone locksmith businesses offering emergency lockout services, safe work, and dedicated security services. For new construction lock installation, look for an RLSC. For emergency lockouts or dedicated security work, look for an OCLS.

No. RLSC is one of the CCB license categories exempt from continuing education requirements. However, RLSC licensees must maintain CCB-required bond and insurance. Always verify the license is Active and the bond and insurance expiration dates are current before hiring.

Locksmith scams are a documented problem in Oregon, particularly in Portland. Common schemes involve contractors who advertise very low prices online, then charge $200-400 or more once on site - claiming the lock requires drilling or replacement when a simple pick would suffice. Always verify the CCB license before calling. Ask for a written quote before any work begins. A licensed Oregon locksmith must provide their CCB number on request - if they refuse or cannot, do not allow them to proceed. Check that the business name on the license matches the name on the van or invoice.

Yes. RLSC-licensed contractors can install smart locks, keypad entry systems, and electronic deadbolts as part of residential construction or home improvement projects. Smart lock installation that requires new electrical wiring, however, may require a licensed electrician for the wiring portion. Confirm with the contractor whether their scope covers the full installation or only the hardware component.

If a licensed contractor charges significantly more than quoted without a valid written change order, you have options. First, pay under protest and document everything - photos, receipts, communications. Then file a complaint with the Oregon CCB at 503-378-4621 within one year of the work. The CCB offers mediation services for disputes with licensed contractors. If the contractor was unlicensed, contact the Oregon Department of Justice Consumer Protection at 503-378-8986. Always get a written quote before authorizing any work.

Every Oregon locksmith must hold a CCB license - either an RLSC (Residential Locksmith Services Contractor) for construction-context lock work, or an OCLS (Oregon Certified Locksmith) for dedicated locksmith businesses. Enter the company name or CCB number at CCB Lookup to verify the license is Active and the bond and insurance are current. Oregon law requires licensed contractors to provide their CCB number on request - if a locksmith cannot provide one, do not hire them.
