Tips on how to avoid locksmith scams

1. Be cautious of a locksmith that answers calls with generic phrases like "locksmith" rather than a specific name. If a locksmith cannot or will not provide their legal business name, find another locksmith.

2. When the locksmith arrives, ask for identification, including a locksmith license if licenses are applicable in your state or territory.

3. Get a quote before any work begins, especially emergency after hours calls.

4. Ask about extra charges for things like emergency rates, travel time, call out fees before you agree to have the work performed.

5. If the locksmith’s on-site price doesn’t match the phone estimate, don’t allow the work to be performed, unless there is a valid reason for the change i.e. the wrong information was provided over the phone or the lock is damaged inside and neither you or the locksmith could have foreseen the situation

6. Most legitimate locksmiths will arrive in a clearly marked van and will wear a company uniform.

7. If you’re locked out, be cautious of companies that recommend or insist on drilling or replacing the lock up front. Experienced locksmiths have the skills and tools to unlock almost any door, and will always attempt non-destructive entry techniques as the 1st option.

8. Scammers saturate the yellow pages and Internet listings with hundreds of names in a city and some listings are actually marketing companies who have figured out there is a quick dollar to be made using their marketing and SEO skills to limit legitimate locksmiths from appearing on google, they then charge a fee to locksmiths for supplying a lead, which of course must be recouped in the long run costing you money.

9. Exercise caution when choosing a locksmith from the phone book or the Internet. Our advice is to save a locksmiths number in your mobile before you need one, statistically everyone needs a locksmith at least 3 times in their lives!
