Tip #1:Locksmith Scams

Complaints about locksmiths have increased by 77% since 2007 and the articles about scams are abundant to back it up.

Who are you handing your keys to and who are you letting hand you your new keys?

When you call a locksmith is your first question "how much do you charge?" OR "who are you?"

It's your life and property-do you know what credentials are required? Do you take their word for it or ask them to fax you a copy? Are they a mobile service, here today and gone tomorrow?
Do you think all locksmiths are equal?

Think about it, you wouldn't be calling in the first place if you didn't have a security concern, right? Then it makes sense that your first step in protection is the "who" not the "how much"!

  1. someone responded the question should be 'when' should call a locksmith?

    My reply...BEFORE you need one, not AFTER you have been violated
