What Locksmiths Do
Everyone knows to call a locksmith if you need one, but what exactly does that mean? Do you furnish the lock you need first and let him or her install it? If you are locked out of your house do you pay first before he lets you back inside? What if the locksmith you called, doesn’t show up? How long should you wait before calling another technician? Is it rude to ask for license proof? Should you ask for identification or look out for a uniform? If you’ve never used a locksmith service before, you might be intimidated or unwilling to go through what seems like a lot of hassle. But where does that leave you? Why struggle with lockout problems or broken-off keys on your own when professional and affordable locksmith relief if nearby and available 24/7?
Won’t a handyman be cheaper?
That depends; would you call a handyman to do your taxes or to cook a romantic mean for you? Handymen or local “fix-all” specialists don’t have to be licensed, experienced or bonded. They don’t need to carry insurance or even have a clean background. If all you need are some door knobs changed out, then go ahead and call one but doesn’t it make more sense to use a licensed, bonded and insured locksmith professional if the cost almost comparable? Your locksmith can change those same door knobs and even recommend stronger or better hardware. He can rekey locks, add a deadbolt, make extra keys, spot security problem areas and recommend additional lock hardware to make your life more convenient and safer. Many locksmith shops offer 24-hour emergency service and very affordable service rates along with their mobile convenience and same day appointments.
Home locksmith specialists
A good residential locksmith will not cost any more than using a “normal” one but you can greatly benefit from his or her expertise. From spare key making to video surveillance upgrades, your home locksmith experts can massively help you secure your local residence to a much higher degree. Our Elmhurst lock professionals are background cleared, fully certified and highly experienced. Our mobile locksmith service vehicles bring us directly to your home; much like a doctor’s house call! We can add peepholes, garage door locks, offer lockout assistance, add a gun safe, install high security locksets, lock your mailbox, rekey your home, repair break-in damage and even service your home alarm!
Automotive locksmiths
Most folks think of automotive locksmiths and then associate lockouts with them. This is understandable as so many drivers accidentally lock their keys in the ignition or trunk and have no way to drive anywhere to get a spare. In reality, locksmiths for automotive use do a lot more. We can install a lock on your glove box. Or, we can repair the lock damage that the auto thief caused while trying to break in. We can replace your ignition cylinder or remove that stuck steering wheel lock that just won’t come off. Our locksmith techs can even program and duplicate your transponder key, saving you hundreds of dollars compared to what your car dealer would charge.
Business locksmiths
It’s almost a given that every local business uses locks and keys. What’s little known is that the quality of locksmith care and service is directly correlated to the security of your firm, no matter what it sells or offers its customers. From cam lock replacements for a laundromat to fingerprint locks for your jewelry store, commercial locksmiths offer the cutting edge lock and key technology needed to keep your business safe from inside and outside threats of all types. Proper commercial locksmith service is as basic and extensive as needed and should be offered on a 24-hour basis for maximum benefit.
Locksmith service for those inevitable emergencies
Locksmiths are called for every day security additions and upgrades but also for those pesky locksmith emergency situations that can happen at any time; day or night. From lockouts at home or in your car to lost keys and jammed lock hardware, emergencies have a way of unfolding at the very worst possible times. The best locksmith shops offer 24-hour emergency service with fast response times and free price quotes so that customers can gauge their sudden need for a technician against their pocketbook contents.
Locksmith extras you should look for
Not all locksmiths offer the same services or customer amenities. You should call around and do your due diligence when deciding which firm you should hire. It’s hard to do that during a locksmith emergency, so it’s best to find a good shop that you can rely on and have them ready to come to your aid at a moment’s notice. Always insist on fast response times and round the clock service. Free consultations are another nice touch; it reassures the customer and adds value to the locksmith shop’s services. Price quotes should always be free and totally honest. Sudden, last minute price hikes are not only unethical; they are illegal so never put up with them.
Good locksmiths use good locks
People want good locksmith service but they don’t want to over pay for it. One way to go “cheap” is to use lesser quality locks and lock hardware. This is never a good idea! You’ll wind up paying more in the long run as your locks will wear out sooner and offer less protection. This results in another lock purchase and possible more locksmith costs. The smart alternative is to only purchase and install quality lock brands that are both affordable and expertly made. Abloy, Medeco, Baldwin, Ace, Schlage, BiLock, Kwikset, Master and other brands are very good and easy to afford brands.
