How to Choose the Right Local Locksmith
With so many options, finding a trustworthy locksmith may be challenging, but there are a few steps you can take to ensure that you receive service that you’re happy with.
Ask Around for Referrals
When looking for a local locksmith that will provide a job well done, asking around with friends and neighbors is a great way to decide who to hire, and just as importantly who not to hire. If that’s not an option, then check out online reviews of different locksmith companies to see what customers are saying. You can also verify a locksmith’s reputation by referring to their online rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Choose a Licensed Professional
For someone to work as a locksmith in Connecticut, they must have a valid locksmith license that allows them to inspect, install, repair and rekey locks and other locking devices. Those who apply for licensing are also required to submit a recent criminal history records check. While it’s illegal to provide services without proper licensing, some unscrupulous individuals who are looking to make some money or who wouldn’t be able to pass the background check do just that.
To verify a local locksmith’s licensing, you can visit the state’s online directory. It’s also a good idea to ask to see proof of licensing when the locksmith arrives on site.
Verify That They’re Bonded and Insured
While licensed locksmiths are experts in handling a wide variety of situations, sometimes, the unexpected happens. That’s when their insurance becomes important. Hiring an insured locksmith ensures that if any damage is done to your personal property while a service is being performed, repairs won’t come out of your pocket.
Similarly, when bonded, a locksmith offers you a reimbursement guarantee in case of any damage to your personal property.
