What to look for in a locksmith – 5 Tips besides honesty.

Locksmiths hold the key to your security in their hands.

So, it makes sense to choose one that’s honest. But beyond honesty, what should you look for from your locksmith?
We believe it’s five things:

​1. Accessibility – most times, when you need a locksmith, you need one in a hurry.

For a simple reason – you’ve either locked yourself out of your home, office or car.
Choosing a locksmith that’s located close to you means they can get to where you are – faster.
A good place to search for a Locksmith is The Yellow Pages.
The Yellow Pages allows you to search for a locksmith by entering your suburb name or postcode.
You find your locksmith quickly, speedily efficiently.
You can also find a good local locksmith using Google Search – simply type in locksmith followed by your suburb name.

​
3. Good customer feedback and service – few tell a story better than customers do. Ads will lie, customers won’t.

It pays to check the referrals the customer has received. Facebook is a good place to do this as referrals are more likely to be honest and true.
A poor referral doesn’t have to be a disqualification for locksmiths. It just means you ask them about the experience when they show up.
If their response is satisfactory – honest – award them the job.

5. Reliability – a locksmith has to turn up when they say they will.

It’s a basic of professionalism, courtesy and service. If the person doesn’t turn up to an appointment after they fix it,
you can assume they aren’t interested in your job for whatever reason. Award it to someone else.

​2. Quality – quality of workmanship or work-woman-ship is important

when your locksmith to do more than just help you get into your home, office or car.
Say, you’d like to install deadbolts on your doors or windows.
Or look at installing digital locks, that are opened using a code
A much more specialized job, you will need locksmith services with good reputation following them.

​

​4. Skill – For specialized jobs, specialized skills may be required

​Example – transponder keys. They are keys coded using a computer. Only a few are able to do these kinds of job due to the complexity they involve. We make keys and remotes too.
When you call one, explain the job and ask for evidence that they’ve actually done it before. It saves time and money.
