I know we
are all grateful to the locksmiths who have served us in the past because they
have probably saved us from a big inconvenience. But not all locksmiths are the
same and you have to be careful with the one you choose. First of all, try to
get a locksmith that has a license because then you know you can probably trust
him. If you already have a locksmith you know and you like then great. On the
other hand, if you have already gotten a locksmith service and everything
related to the job he performed was alright but the service itself was poor and
you were not comfortable with the attitude of the locksmith then you should
probably consider looking for another one.
If you get
locked out of your house in the middle of the day you can easily contact a
locksmith and they can go and let you in. But service is also important because
your locksmith should be someone you can trust and someone that you can feel
comfortable with. Why? Because it is a whole different story being locked out
during the day than at 3am. Getting bad service sucks, even if the job is
right, we want people to be nice to us and that create confidence in us. If a
grumpy locksmith makes you uncomfortable during the day, imagine being stuck
with him in the middle of the night when everyone’s asleep and there’s no one
around to help you if something goes wrong. The guy might not be bad and maybe
he’s in no way trying to hurt you but a bad attitude is enough to freak you
out.
Furthermore, it’s better to get service at night from a locksmith that
you already know because there are many locksmiths out there that are just
trying to rip people off and take advantage of the situation they’re in. For
instance, if you are in an area where there aren’t many 24 hour locksmiths around
and you finally find one, he may want to overcharge you. And I’m not talking
about $50 but try $300 or a similar price. If you go online you’ll see how many
different stories exist about locksmiths trying to get people’s money.
