Tips For Finding a Professional Locksmith in Fairfield County CT

When leaving your house you do the same routine: phone, keys, wallet. While leaving your phone or wallet at home is an annoyance, locking your keys inside can become quite a hassle. It can also be more costly to you in the long-run.

Here is a list of things you need to remember if your are ever in this predicament:

• Prepare yourself by saving a local area locksmith in your phone. Being familiar with the locksmith also helps.
• Make sure it's a local company. Ask for the name and address of the company to verify that it is local, many companies subcontract. Be wary if a business answers their phone with a phrase similar to “Emergency Locksmith”.
• Confirm the rate before confirming the service. Some locksmiths may advertise online that they offer a cheap rate and tack on additional charges in the end. Even a ballpark figure is better than finding out that the $15 service you thought you were getting is now $75.
• Know who you're dealing with. When the locksmith arrives at your home ask to see identification and for their license number. Connecticut is one of fifteen states that requires locksmiths to be licensed. This protects both the customer and the company. Likewise any professional locksmith will want to confirm that the property you are entering is yours and will ask for identification.
• Many locksmiths work out of vehicles, any professional locksmith will most likely have a work van that will display the company name.
• Expert locksmiths first choice is to pick a lock, even though it is more time consuming it does less damage to the lock itself. If the locksmith goes for the drill be wary of his experience.

These tips should help you in finding a good, professional and reliable locksmith. If you are looking for a locksmith in Danbury Connecticut call Safehouse Locksmith, a proven professional locksmith company.
