Why is it Important to Choose a SCEC Approved Locksmith?
When choosing a locksmith, there are several vital requirements to consider before you book. Getting in touch with a local, reliable and trustworthy locksmith isn’t as simple these days, as there are so many available.
One of the most stringent certifications to achieve is a SCEC certification, which ensures a locksmith provides high-quality services, as they are qualified and trusted to work discretely in high-security government and defence areas.
What Does a SCEC Approved Locksmith Mean?
The Security Construction and Equipment Committee (SCEC) is a national inter-departmental committee, responsible for the evaluation of security equipment used in Australian government departments and agencies.
A SCEC approved locksmith has met high standards of integrity, honesty and confidentiality as they work on behalf of the Australian government and are required to renew their approval every four years. The certification demonstrates that the locksmith is highly specialised, successfully achieving an intensive ASIO/T4 training program, with the current government and police approval to have a high-security clearance.
A.Abbott Locksmiths have been servicing Australian Government agencies for many years. Our state-of-the-art equipment and highly experienced locksmith teams offer services relied on all over Sydney. Our SCEC Approved Locksmith Services continue to make Australians feel more secure, whilst keeping their valuables safe.

SCEC Equipment Ratings
Security products are evaluated by the SCEC committee to determine which are best suited for use in Australian Government facilities. The approved security products are on the Security Equipment Evaluated Protect List (SEEPL).
The SEEPL is sorted by category priorities, which ranks products as determined by the government, from the highest level of importance to products achieving the minimum requirements. For security purposes, the standards of the SEEPL products are not public knowledge, for security purposes; however, the four categories are as followed.
- SL4 High Risk
- SL3 Medium Risk
- SL2 Low to Medium Risk
- SL1 Low Risk
It is also important to note that security clearances are not just related to locks, but also to the surrounding infrastructure, including items such as door frames, walls and ceilings, which are often included as part of the required locksmithing work.
