Locksmiths and Security professional
Locksmiths
Locks provide security for a home or premise. They are also the gateway for entry and as such must always work smoothly and function properly. Engaging professional locksmiths for any residential and commercial lock services will provide peace of mind that sufficient security is provided for, that they will work as intended, and stand the test of time. Locksmiths are also useful if the need has arisen to change multiple locks for security reasons, or in those frustrating situations where keys have been lost.

5 questions to ask a locksmith
What are your hours of operation?
If it is vital for you to have 24/7 access to a property, then it is best to confirm round-the-clock availability before the need arises - especially for multi-unit residential or commercial premises where a locksmith will be engaged.
What warranties do you offer?
Ensuring any products or lock systems installed come with a warranty allows for peace of mind and may cover any issues that arise such as changing lock fixtures or cutting keys, however, it always pays to check the terms of a warranty.
How do you vet your employees?
Often, locksmiths are required at times of vulnerability so it is preferable to have confirmation that the worker coming to assist has been properly vetted for security, reliability and skill.
How will you verify my identity when a service is requested?
A robust system provides total assurance that the technicians will ensure only valid access is granted.
