The Difference Between Scam Locksmiths And Real Locksmith

When an emergency strikes and you’re locked out of the house, office or car, most people tend to search google for a local locksmith. You’re in a rush, we get it, but it’s important to realize that not all locksmiths are created equal! Hiring a new trades-person, whether it’s a locksmith or a plumber, is tricky business as you don’t know who to trust but spend a little time researching before you rush into what could be a scam. Not all locksmiths are linked to legitimate businesses and the difference in terms of quality, reliability and ongoing service you’re likely to receive from them compared to a brand such as Quickly Locksmith is huge!

 

  • Scams:

Many of the search results that turn up on google aren’t in fact legitimate companies. Many of the phone numbers will link to generic call centers abroad in countries such as India and high freelance amateurs that have received little to no formal training, certification or checks. The minute these so called ‘locksmith companies’ receive your request, it is transferred to a subcontractor who will receive your name, address and phone number. Along with questionable locksmith services you’ll also probably start receiving cold calls offering to be sold other rubbish too – you’re welcome.

Scam artists will often quote ridiculously low prices that reflect the low-quality jobs they will perform. Those ‘$19.95 locksmith’ adds that pop up in google shouldn’t be trusted – they have no insurance, no certification and no liability. They’ll almost certainly not be accurate either and when someone arrives to carry out the work will claim something isn’t right and they need to charge extra to get the job done. When its an emergency, your pushed for time and someone is standing in front of you claiming to be an expert, you’d be forgiven for taking their word for it and going ahead.

  • Trusted locksmiths:

A trusted locksmith company on the other hand will have no problem giving a free price estimation over the phone and sticking to it later because they are experienced and know what they are doing. If it’s not possible to give an accurate quote over the phone, they’ll let you know they really need to see things first. When they arrive, the job will be carried out by an experienced and professional technician – the difference is clear.

Please take our advice and call a reputable and well-reviewed locksmith company such as Quickly Locksmith. We’re fully insured and liable for all work carried out on your property and our customer base speaks for our reliability.

You’ll also have the added benefit of never having to worry again – if you ever need a locksmith again, or indeed a security expert for any other project, you’ll have Quickly’s phone number saved!

    TIPS

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice:

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
