KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.

Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney.

In the locksmith industry, managing high-risk tasks like master key systems, emergency lockouts, and rekeying requires a robust legal framework. A Power of Attorney (POA) for Pennsylvania locksmiths allows you to designate an agent to handle business operations—such as navigating licensing with the AAPD guidelines or managing wage disputes under the Wage Payment and Collection Law—if you are unavailable. Whether you need to authorize an agent to handle property access verification or navigate the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA) for residential installations, this document ensures your liability for unauthorized entry and property damage is mitigated by a clearly defined scope of powers.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Locksmith:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Unauthorized Entry Claims
Contracts should clearly define the circumstances under which entry will be provided, including verification of customer's authority to grant access.
Yes. If your locksmith services involve residential door hardware installations exceeding $500, a POA agent can sign contracts on your behalf that comply with HICPA and the PA Statute of Frauds (33 Pa.C.S. § 6), ensuring your business remains protected when entering into written agreements for services or mineral rights-related property access.
While an agent can manage the paperwork and filings for AAPD model programs or state-issued certifications, the physical locksmith and the principal must personally pass the required background checks for theft and fraud as mandated by state licensing bodies to maintain a valid license.
Under 43 P.S. § 260.1, if you grant your agent authority over financial and payroll matters, they are legally responsible for adhering to strict timeframes for paying technicians and termination wages. This POA includes a Governing Law clause ensuring the agent operates within these Pennsylvania-specific employment statutes.
Yes. To be enforceable in Pennsylvania and to reduce risk regarding unauthorized entry claims, the document must be signed by the principal, witnessed, and notarized. This provides the necessary authentication protocols for your agent to manage master key systems or authorize forced entry during emergency lockouts.
