SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE HIRING A LOCKSMITH

7 Things You Should Know Before Hiring A Locksmith
Considering engaging the services of a locksmith? You need to read these 7 things before hiring a locksmith. Locksmiths have a privileged role in ensuring the security of your home, office or business premises is as good as it can be. Given the importance of your family’s safety, as well as that of your employees and equipment or stock, it’s vital to engage a locksmith you’re confident can do the job properly.
To help you out, we’ve made a list of seven important things to check out before opting for a business to provide you with locksmith services.

1. ARE THEY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL?

First and foremost, if the locksmith that you are about to do business with isn’t a DMV Locksmith with a current licence number, then you should not even consider hiring them. There are way too many unlicensed and inexperienced people out there making false claims and undercharging for locksmith services (which typically turn out to require the services of a licensed professional to fix just a couple of months later).
DMV911 Locksmiths licence number is 412.

2. DOES THE LOCKSMITH HAVE RELEVANT EXPERIENCE?

Some locksmiths specialise in exterior security, motion sensors etc., while others specialise in other security measures such as automotive security. When hiring a locksmith, it’s always worth asking about similar projects they may have delivered on, in terms of scale, scope, security and budget.
​

​3. ARE THEY A GOOD COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH?

Qualities such as good communication, reliability, punctuality, and technical competence are all essential when it comes to getting a locksmith to do the job properly. Neighbours or friends will often be able to recommend a local locksmith, based on their experience. Alternatively, take a look at online reviews or testimonials (including those on social media), in order to get a view of the type of business you’re dealing with.

​4. THE AVAILABILITY OF, AND FAMILIARITY WITH, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Security systems are becoming ever more sophisticated. To ensure you get access to cutting-edge solutions, it’s important to find a locksmith with the up-to-date knowledge and skills to successfully install and maintain modern, hi-tech security options, as well as traditional solutions

​5. FAIR PRICING

Whilst price shouldn’t be the only consideration when hiring a locksmith, cost should be around the market average. Higher than usual, and it’s worth taking a look at what added value you get; lower, and it could be the case that quality and value are being compromised in order to cut the price.

​6. PROFESSIONAL CREDIBILITY

Reputable locksmiths are usually members of the Locksmiths Association, as well as in possession of a Master licence from the state’s police force. A good locksmith will be happy to show you their credentials on request.
​

​7. LOCATION

A local locksmith will be able to reach you more quickly, as well as be familiar with security issues which are specific to the local area.

It's great that you mentioned how important it is for a locksmith to be licensed. The other day in my sister's workplace, they got locked out from their office. The person who had the keys had to leave due to an emergency, and he forgot to leave the keys, and they couldn't get in and answer to their clients. After a few hours, they finally got a locksmith to help them, but it was a bad experience. That's why I think it's crucial to have the number of a reliable locksmith service previously saved. You did a great job explaining what to consider before hiring a locksmith service.
