Electronic vs. Conventional locks

Making a decision can be difficult as there are pros and cons to both. Our technicians recommend that if you want to use electronic locks which are generally more reliable, make sure you know how to trouble shoot this type of lock. If not, stick to conventional locks.

Keeping your keys durable

This might not seem like too big a deal, but the material with which your keys are made of can mean the difference between convenience and an unexpected emergency. Always make sure that the ones who work on your keys are using the toughest material possible, otherwise it could break off in the near future.

Keep the doors locked 24/7

If you're under the impression that keeping all windows open is alright as long as you're home, our experts inform you that you're mistaken. Perpetrators will still enter the house if they find it easy and open entry points are inviting. You cannot keep all entrances under control.

Secure a cost estimate before work begins

Cost is a very important consideration when hiring a locksmith. Make sure that before work begins, you are able to secure a comprehensive cost estimate from the sales team. This will at least give you an idea how much you need to expend for the job required and judge if you are being overcharged.

Avoid using force on steering wheels

Unlocking the steering wheel is hard; locking it is easy. As our experts explain, it usually happens accidentally when you park the car. Some people tend to turn the steering wheel to the right and lock it by mistake. Others hold the steering wheel as they get out of the car and also lock it. So avoid touching it if you are not driving and try to unlock it by turning it left and right gently.

Never use the wrong key for the door lock

When wrong keys are inserted in door locks and go all the way in, they will probably get stuck. If you're lucky, you'll discover this is the wrong key when you just put it in the keyhole. If you try to turn it, you could break it. Avoid using the wrong key if the original one is lost. It's best to get a new replacement key rather than having to retrieve the broken key.
