3 Ways to Find a Reliable Locksmith

Needing the services of a locksmith is nothing new. Some of us may have already had the unfortunate experience of locking our keys in the car before or needing to have our locks changed and interacted with these individuals. For others, the time will come when you require services. The best thing you can do is prepare in advance for possible lockout situations by doing your homework and ensuring you’re choosing someone reliable who can come out and help you remedy the door issues you’re having.

If you’re tired of wiggling the lock or wondering what day you will finally lose access to that door, here are 3 key tips for choosing a reliable locksmith.  Stop waiting until you’re in a pinch to find the professional you will use when the time comes.

1. Do Your Homework in Advance

One of the best ways to be prepared for locksmith services is to not wait until you actually need them. Typically lockouts happen at the least opportune time so having a game plan in advance and trusting the company your calling on is important to having peace of mind during these high-stress times. As you research to check how close they are and if there are fair pricing options available.

2.   Be Leery of Scams

One unfortunate bad wrap the locksmith industry has gotten over the years includes the bad rapport of a few overseas companies and others running scams. The best way to protect yourself from becoming a victim of these is to educate yourself on what scams exist and what sorts of things to check for to ensure you’re not being had.

3.   Check the Reviews

As part of the pre-screening process, and even when you’re in a pinch to hire a locksmith, you should always make it a practice to check out some credible reviews about the company to ensure you’re calling on someone who is capable of helping you in your lockout situation.

4 Holiday Safety Tips Homeowners Shouldn’t Ignore

For many people, the holidays are a time to visit friends and family. For married people, the need to make appearances is usually doubled. After all, you’re obligated to see your family and theirs. In the midst of all this frequent travel, thieves are plotting. Empty houses are what they prefer, but there are a few key things you can do to deter them from targeting your home. 

Don’t Show Off On Social Media

If you’re going out of state for the holidays, then don’t shout it for the world to hear on social media. We know that this can be difficult, but doing so makes it easy for burglars to know that you’re not at home. Do yourself a favor and refrain from posting pictures and statuses until after you’ve returned.

Install Security Cameras

Most thieves don’t expect cameras at residential homes. Usually, they assume that if you’re not home, then they’re in the clear. Use this ignorance to your advantage by installing a security camera inside your property, outside your property, or both. For interior surveillance, consider picking up one of those “nanny cams” that you can hide inside a stuffed animal. 

Tell a Trusted Neighbor If You’re Going To Be Away Long

If you won’t be at home for a day or more, then let a trusted neighbor know (if you have one). If you don’t have a friend in your neighborhood, now is a good time to make one. People will be more open to keeping an eye on your house if you vow to do the same for them when you need it. 

Lock All Your Windows & Doors

Seems like a no-brainier, right? You’d be surprised how many people get robbed because they left their cellar door unlocked or their window cracked. Make sure to check every door and window–including back patio and basement doors! While you’re locking doors and windows, make a note of any locks that may be loose or not working properly. If you do find anything of the sort, be sure to consult a reliable locksmith right away.
