Which code does this activity belong in?
Locksmiths are distinguished from Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths) by their focus on locking devices, safes, and security vaults rather than alarm systems. While both may install and repair security equipment, locksmiths specialize exclusively in mechanical or electronic locking mechanisms and vault systems, whereas the related code covers burglar and fire alarm systems. Establishments that sell and service alarm systems without offering locksmith services belong in Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths).
