SEVEN TIPS FOR FINDING A LOCKSMITH:
- Find a local locksmith before you need them. Check out their business name, license number, address, and phone number to make sure they are legitimate local businesses. Also, look closely at their yellow pages or Internet advertisements. Are they clearly identifiable? Do their ads look similar to other ads but with a different name?
- Don’t give your credit or debit card number over the phone unless you know and trust the person you have called.
- When the locksmith arrives, look at their service vehicle. Does it have signs clearly showing who they are?
- Ask for identification. Ask to see their license and their occupational permit which has their picture and business name on it. Also, most legitimate locksmiths have business cards with the company’s and service technician’s name.
- Get a written estimate prior to work being done. Don’t sign a blank authorization form. After the work is completed, demand an itemized invoice stating precisely what work has been performed.
- If possible, have a trusted friend or relative with you at your house, car, or business when the locksmith arrives. This is especially important at night or if you’re a woman in a remote location.
- If you feel intimidated or uncomfortable with the provider, you can, and should, refuse to work with the locksmith.
