This long-established, highly respected essential service business has been operating successfully for over 26 years.

This opportunity is ideal for:
• Career-change entrepreneurs
• Mechanically inclined individuals
• Skilled trades professionals
• Owner operators seeking strong cash flow
• SBA-qualified buyers

No Prior Locksmith Experience Required

This opportunity is structured to support a buyer without prior locksmith experience.
? A licensed locksmith employee is expected to remain with the business.
? The current owner is willing to stay on for at least one full year of paid transition and training, and potentially longer if helpful.
? Oregon locksmith certification is straightforward (multiple choice and may be retaken until passing).
? Buyer may operate under the owner’s license during the transition period while obtaining their own certification and contractor license.
For a motivated and mechanically inclined individual, the owner believes competency can be achieved within a reasonable and manageable timeframe.
