Locksmith Watford | More information
Most locksmiths trade locally within 10-20 miles from where they operate. They like to be at the callout within the hour.
Besides emergency callouts, the locksmith can repair and fix new locks to your premises when required. When called he will discuss the nature of your problem, assess your requirement and then work out the best solution with a quote.
It has recently been found and indeed shown on BBC TV that burglars can gain access through most UPVC doors in less than 30 seconds by a method called ‘lock snapping’.
Because of this, leading UK lock distributors have been promoting their new anti-snap cylinder locks.
These locks with the zero lift cylinder are recommended by the Association of Chief Police Officers and are of British Standard Kitemark requirements and have been fitted to over 100,000 doors within the past 12 months.
When you call a locksmith for an emergency lockout, the first thing they will do on arrival, after identifying himself, will be to assess the situation.
He will want to gain access to your accomodation with the minimum of damage or disruption. So first he will check all possible points of entry, front or back of the house and then decide on the most convenient option. He will try to gain entry without having to drill locks and causing excess damage.
Having successfully completed the job, which is always guaranteed, he will issue an invoice for immediate payment.
Most locksmiths accept debit/credit cards as well as cash and, if he knows the client, even a cheque.
Having completed the job he will normally leave you his card in case you require his services in the future or to recommend to a friend.
How did you find your locksmith?
He will normally advertise on the internet through Google, Yellow Pages, Thompson Directory and local newspapers, or maybe a leaflet delivered to your door.
However the best and most frequent way of finding an efficient locksmith is by means of recommendation.
Finally, frequently check your locks on doors, windows, outhouses and garages. One lock not working correctly is your weakest point and a burglar could find it.
