There are so many different locksmiths available, some are local locksmiths who are sole traders, some work for a franchise and then you have national companies.

Using local locksmiths, majority are reasonably priced and offer a fantastic service. Also you are getting a quick response normally within 20/30 minutes as they are truly local. Local tradesmen work hard to uphold their reputation so you will have a reliable and trustworthy tradesman.

When calling a locksmith company, ask to speak directly to the locksmith, if this isn’t possible then it is more than likely you are speaking to a national company.

A national locksmith franchise or call centre type operation often appear to be a local business since they redirect local landlines to their call centre and also display fake locations in their adverts.

National locksmith companies have enormous advertising costs due to the fierce nature of their advertising campaigns, taking up the majority of space in physical telephone directories and the expensive top listing positions in Google Adwords. This has to be made back somewhere and a large portion of the customers bill is made up of this advertising cost.

You will find that these companies sub contract work to the nearest locksmith on their books which could be anywhere up to 30/40 miles away, these traveling costs bump up your bill enormously. It could also mean you are waiting a ridiculous length of time for your locksmith to arrive.

We understand that when you’re locked out and desperate to get back in don’t just accept the first price given. Phone around get a few quotes, local genuine locksmiths will be a lot cheaper than the national companies.
