MEM20010A
Gain entry and reinstate automotive locking systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit may be applied to work on commercial and private use vehicles. The focus is on both mechanical and electronic automotive locking systems.

Basis for entry includes lockout (keys inside), lost keys (rekeys), malfunction, and damage caused by burglary or user.

It requires an ability to safely gain entry to a vehicle taking into account factors that ensure conformance to specifications and operational performance. These include locksmithing principles, ethics, techniques, procedures and safe work practices.

If repairs greater than straightforward remove and replace are required, Unit MEM20012A (Service and repair mechanical automotive locking systems) should also be considered.

Where interpretation of detailed, complex manufacturer information and specifications is required, Unit MEM16012A (Interpret technical specifications and manuals) should also be considered.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 4

This unit covers gaining entry to all types of automobiles fitted with mechanical and or electronic locking systems. It also covers straightforward reinstatement of the vehicle locking system by removal and replacement of component parts.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to gain entry to and reinstating automotive locking systems. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with gaining entry to and reinstating automotive locking systems, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
