Friendly tips to help you choose the right locksmith

Don't get caught out by local numbersJust because it's local, doesn't mean that they really are local. They could be using an easily-obtainable area number that connects to elsewhere. This may give a false portrayal of how soon they can respond to calls.
Always ask for a cost estimationSometimes prices do not include VAT and there may be additional call out charges. Curley Locks always provides concise estimations of charges, including VAT.
Ask if they're able to open your door without causing damageCurley Locks employs methods that reduce damage done to locks where possible. When choosing a locksmith, it's recommended to always ask if their service will cause minimal damage – if any.
Enquire about arrival timeEnquire about arrival time, especially in emergency situations. Also ask if they will inform you if they're delay or are expecting delays. Some locksmiths exaggerate their response times to attract customers.
Ask if they carry identification and will be arriving in a signed vehicleIn an industry where security is paramount, a locksmith should be someone who you trust. Curley Locks is police checked and we take your security very seriously. Just like most people, we also have family and possessions that we would like to keep safe. With this in mind, we try out best to keep yours safe with quality locks and a professional, friendly service on a human level.
