7 TIPS TO AVOID LOCKSMITH SCAMS

1. Be wary of locksmith companies that answer calls with generic phrases like “locksmith services” rather than a specific name. If a locksmith cannot provide the business’ legal name, find another locksmith.


2. When the locksmith arrives, ask for identification, including a locksmith license where applicable.


3. Get an estimate before any work begins, including emergency service.


4. Ask about extra charges for things like emergency hours, mileage or service call minimums 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.


6. Most legitimate locksmiths will arrive in a clearly marked vehicle.


7. If you are locked out, be cautious of companies that recommend or insist on drilling or replacing the lock up front. Most experienced locksmiths have the skills and tools to unlock almost any door.
