La Jolla locksmith Located In The Village

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. DON'T GET SCAMMED! Nationwide the locksmith industry is attracting thousands of scam artists. Several are here in San Diego. They prey on people that need service quickly. They end up charging hundreds more than what is quoted. Most are not licensed or have any locksmith training. Any reputable locksmith will have business cards. When requesting service, let the locksmith know you will REQUIRE UPON ARRIVAL A BUSINESS CARD that matches the name on the ad you just called. Using multiple names and phony addresses is a common scam.
BEFORE YOU NEED A LOCKSMITH: Program in your phone a company you trust.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. It is very important to know who will be arriving at your house. Many companies send people that are not employed by the service you called. When these people complete your job and leave, you really do not know who they are - and they may have had access to your house, car or business. We recommend programming the locksmith phone number that you know is reputable in your phone before you need one.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Our talented in-house technicians will specify, and install all types of locking hardware. From Kwikset to designer hardware on your custom made doors. Baldwin, Ashley Norton and Rocky Mountain Hardware are just a few of the manufacturers we install.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. A common problem we encounter is the customers door will not stay latched when closed. This is most likely to occur after a rain storm or an earthquake. The rain can cause the door to swell, not allowing the door to close all the way. The earthquake can shift the building, causing the latch to be out of alignment. The fix is easy. The strike plate on the jamb can be filed to allow the latch to align with the hole. You can also call us to make the repairs.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?
