Business insurance
Insurance for Locksmiths
Locksmithing carries a particular set of risks — you work on customers' property and security, you carry expensive machines and stock in a van that is a theft target, and an error on a lock or access system can leave a client exposed. Public liability is the core cover, with professional indemnity worth considering for the security advice and master-key work you do, tool and equipment cover for your machines, and motor cover for the van. Workers' compensation is required if you employ staff.
Given you handle people's security, getting the right cover is part of being trustworthy. Premiums for a locksmith often sit around the ~$1,300 mark, and with many trade policies renewing around 30 June it pays to review your cover before the new financial year so a stolen van of gear or a liability claim does not come out of your own pocket.
Common questions
Locksmiths — insurance questions
What insurance does a locksmith really need?
The essentials are public liability, tool and equipment cover for your machines and stock, and commercial motor for the van. Professional indemnity is worth considering given the security advice and access-system work you do, and workers' compensation is required once you employ staff.
Why is van and tool cover important for locksmiths?
Your van is a mobile workshop holding tens of thousands of dollars in machines, programmers and stock, and it is a prime theft target. Without tool and equipment cover, a break-in or stolen vehicle could halt your business overnight, so it is rarely worth going without.
