Keys Inc. Proposes National Locksmith Licensing Reform Through the "LINC Act"
TUCSON, Ariz., July 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Keys®, the leading software platform built for locksmiths, is taking a proactive step toward national safety and industry modernization with the introduction of the Locksmith Integrity & National Certification Act (LINC Act). This proposed federal legislation would establish a Federal Locksmith License (FLL) — ensuring consistent certification standards, protecting consumers, and enabling licensed professionals to work freely across state lines. Only 13 U.S. states currently require locksmiths to be licensed, and those that do often enforce drastically different rules. Meanwhile, most states have no licensing requirements at all, allowing unvetted individuals to operate without oversight — putting consumers at risk and weakening the integrity of the industry. "We're dealing with a patchwork of laws that are either too restrictive or nonexistent," said Loay Jamal Alyousfi, CEO of Keys Inc. "This leaves the public vulnerable, hinders ethical businesses, and creates avoidable security risks." While government enforcement is inconsistent, Keys® already leads by example. Every locksmith on the Keys App is fully vetted. But the company believes true national safety and trust require a public standard that complements its platform — allowing vetted professionals to operate anywhere with confidence. "We've taken a proactive approach through our technology," Alyousfi said. "But real reform means aligning public policy with secure digital platforms like Keys®. The LINC Act would do just that — unlocking opportunity and trust nationwide." The proposed Federal Locksmith License would allow professionals to legally work across state borders by simply turning on the Keys App — expanding business, removing red tape, and creating nationwide mobility for certified locksmiths. "I spoke with CIA officials during the ALOA Locksmith and Security Expo, and they acknowledged this security gap," Alyousfi added. "They encouraged us to lead the charge. This is about public safety, industry integrity, and economic growth." About Keys Inc. Keys® provides the #1 software platform for locksmiths, offering instant payments, invoicing, AI-powered dispatch, and more — built on trust, compliance, and innovation.
