4 tips to locate a legit locksmith
Tweet

- Get an estimate of services and hardware before you agree to have work done. Ask about extra charges, including emergency hours, mileage and service-call minimums.
- Be wary of workers who show up in unmarked vehicles and who won't provide identification or specific information about their employer, such as the legal name of the company.
- Be skeptical if your locksmith immediately insists on drilling out a lock. Experienced locksmiths can open most doors with their tools and expertise, although there are occasions when it's necessary.
- Check if your locksmith has a license, if your state requires it.
