Six questions to ask before you let someone touch your locks.
Locksmithing is a trust business. Here's how to spot a professional versus a chancer.
Do they answer with a real company name?
Not 'hello?' — a proper business greeting.
Do they give a written quote before starting?
Non-negotiable.
Are they insured?
Ask. Any real locksmith will say yes on the spot.
Can they give references?
Local reviews and repeat customers are the strongest signal.
