Not sure if it is a locksmith you need? Here is a guide of the most common reasons people might require the services of a locksmith.
Locked Out Of Your Home
Being locked out of your house is the most common call out for locksmiths. It can be a distressing experience being locked out of your home because you lost the key, locked them inside the property, mislaid the keys or because your key has been stolen. A locksmith can soon have you back into your home without causing and damage in most cases.
Damaged Key
Sometimes after years and years of use, a key can become weak. A weak key can snap when used inside the lock leaving part of the key stuck inside. In this case a locksmith can be of assistance by extracting broken bits of key from the lock and replacing your key. It is not advisable to try and extract your broken key from the lock yourself as this could cause damage to the locking mechanism.
Lock Repairs
As a result of wear and tear a lock can eventually fail. A locksmith may be able to repair the broken lock rather than you having to replace the whole lock. But if this is not possible a locksmith will replace the old lock with a brand new fully functional lock within the same visit.
Lock Changes and Lock Upgrades
Locksmiths are frequently called to upgrade or change substandard locks that might not comply with your insurance regulations. If you have a non-insurance approved lock and you have a break in at your property, your insurance will not cover your possessions. A locksmith can change your locks and ensure that they snap-safe and insurance approved locks that will give you added security and protection.
Moved To A New Property
If you have recently moved house, office or any other property it is recommended that you get the locks changed. A locksmith can change the locks and give you a new set of keys. This will take away any concerns about some stranger out there who might still have a key and access to your property. Changing the locks will give you added peace of mind and security.
