Choosing the perfect professional

How much does a Locksmith cost?

Your expert locksmith will be able to advise you on the full range of services available and will be able to help you advise you of the best quote to suit your needs. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have. Use Bark to get free quotes and find a locksmith in your local area today.

How do I decide on the best Locksmith for the job?

There are a number of questions that may be a good idea to ask your trusted professional.

  • Identification – Before having someone come into your house, it is a good idea to ask them to show you their basic ID.
  • Emergency services – Find out if they offer a 24-hour locksmith service. Emergency services can be a little bit more expensive than standard ones.
  • Check prices - A professional locksmith companies will normally present a fixed price, along with a variable price. This means that certain aspects, such as the amount of labour generated by the lock service, is variable. This may depend on the lock’s specification, duration of task and lock’s characteristics.
  • Locked out - If you are locked out of the house make sure the locksmith you choose offers lockout services. You might want to enquire if the local locksmith installs high-security locks. Any residential locksmith should be able to install high-security locks. Most burglars gain access to the house due to a malfunctioning lock. Your windows also need to have high-security locks because burglars take advantage of an unsecured window.

    You can be confident that any of the Bark local locksmiths listed will provide you with a professional service and take care of your locks.

How long does it take for a Locksmith to open my locked door?

This depends on a range of factors. If the mechanism has failed it can take a much longer time compared to if you lost your keys and the lock was working efficiently. On average it takes a professional locksmith between 10-30 minutes to open most locked doors.

What should I look for in a Locksmith?

Before you choose a locksmith, you could take a look for membership from the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) or the Institute of Certified Locksmiths.

Before choosing a professional, you may also want to ask for examples of past work which they have performed in the past. You could also look at their profile page on Bark, and Bark can show you locksmith reviews from past customers too as well as examples of work that they have completed.

What do you love most about your job?

Helping people is at the very heart of why I love this job. Feeling safe in your home is something we take for granted until we experience something like a break-in. I'm very proud to be the person responsible for restoring that sense of safety.

What inspired you to start your own business?

My Dad. He ran his own business for years and through him I saw how rewarding and challenging that could be. Being responsible for your own livelihood and providing for your loved ones is a privilege.

Why should our clients choose you?

Inviting tradesmen or women into your home can be quite a nerve racking experience. Apart from the obvious intrusion of having a stranger in your home there is also the worry that they may use their experience and knowledge to take advantage of you. I keep this in the front of my mind during every encounter with my customers. I hope to make them feel safe and comfortable in my presence and include them in my decision making. Clear and honest communication is my philosophy.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I offer all of my potential customers free help and advice over the phone if needed. If you have questions or queries about home security, product suggestions or anything else then please call me on 07710625852
