How to find a good a locksmith
Finding a locksmith is relatively easy in an emergency, you do a quick Google search and voila you
find a contact number and company. But are they always local to you and are they any good?
In this blog I have outlined some thing to think about and how to find a good local locksmith that
you can trust.
- Don’t just Google and pick the first locksmith you find. Make sure the company is listed in more than one place, and check out their social media pages, reviews and recommendations.
- Be very cautious of cheap prices, as you’ll end up paying a lot more in the long run, with hidden costs you won’t be told about over the phone.
- Check their ID on arrival and make sure this includes a photo. Call the company if you need further reassurance.
- Watch out for national call centres who just sub out the work.
- Make sure you ask the person on the phone if they are the locksmith that will be attending.
- Consider they could be travelling over an hour away which can all add to the stress if you’re locked out. Speed is of the essence.
Most locksmiths enter into this profession because they are interested in providing a service that
helps people in an emergency situation. It brings great rewards and provides the perfect opportunity
to capture feedback. I’m always interested to hear if my customers have found me through my social
media channels or my website. By having this info, I can then work out where my marketing budget
needs more focus.
I pride myself on providing a quick-turnaround service, which is both affordable and informative. By
storing a local locksmiths number in your mobile for future emergencies is something I strongly
recommend you do so you are never caught out.
