What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey licenses fire alarm, burglar alarm, and locksmith businesses under the Fire Alarm, Burglar Alarm, and Locksmith Act (N.J.S.A. 45:5A-23 et seq.), administered by the Division of Consumer Affairs through the Fire Alarm, Burglar Alarm and Locksmith Advisory Committee. A business license is conditioned on a surety bond.
By rule (N.J.A.C. 13:31A-3.5), a licensed alarm or locksmith business must retain and maintain a $10,000 surety bond in favor of the State of New Jersey, executed by a surety authorized in New Jersey and approved by the Department of Banking & Insurance.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the Act and protects customers from financial harm caused by fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to perform. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
