The basic Registered Locksmith (RL) is a trade qualification designation awarded without benefit of a test. It is based on educational qualifications alone. On the other hand, a CRL (Certified Registered Locksmith) is awarded after passing the required test. Similarly, a Certified Professional Locksmith (CPL) has to pass several prerequisites and tests before being awarded this qualification. The highest qualification, Certified Master Locksmith (CML) is awarded after passing the eligibility tests.
For SAVTA certifications, exams and prerequisites are also required.
And you can bet that many locksmiths in Lemon Grove,CA especially in Mobile24-locksmiths have enough of the above qualifications.
