Are there any locksmiths from North Carolina in this group?? What is required to pass the North Carolina Locksmith licensing exam? Any help would be appreciated

I'm a Tarheel lockie myself. I operate in the RTP for a large commercial properties developer/management corporation, therefore I was not subject to the locksmith licensing law. I acquired my license anyway, just in case I want to to charge for my services some day independant of my employer. I got myself 'grandfathered in' because I was able to provide proof of several (forgot how many) years service I had already accumulated as a locksmithocksmith.

Long story short: I don't know precisely what's on the exams because I didn't have to take 'em. I can't imagine it would be too tricky, though. By all rights, it should be an exam that any locksmith worthy of the tag could pass.

Couldn't tell you specifically. I was exempted under the grandfather clause from taking the test. If you can prove to them you were working in the trade for at least two years before 1/1/2003 you're exempt too, from the testing, not from having to obtain the license.
