When you need a locksmith, it's important to know who you're dealing with.
- You want to make sure they are licensed, bonded and insured.
Two out of every five locksmiths doesn’t have a license . . . that’s 40% of them! I was shocked when I found this out. There are so many stories about being locked out and trying to call a locksmith, only to find that the person who shows up is a scam artist or a shady character who wants to rip you off. You can avoid those issues by Checking their license and insurance. Locksmiths need both, and they should be able to provide copies of both when asked.
- Check out local reviews online before making any calls
- Ask for recommendations from family and friends
