2 Oxgangs Farm Gardens Edinburgh EH13 9QE https://herolocksmith.co.uk Tips to Find the Best Locksmith Hero Locksmith 1. Ask friends and family We have most trust in recommendations from people we know. A genuine local locksmith will work hard to build up a good reputation in their local area as they understand that this will help their business grow. 2. Search for reviews Check out online reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp etc. It is easy to spot locksmiths who have a high number of 5* reviews as well as those that have none (or few). You can also get a feel for the type of person who will arrive at your door, which can be reassuring. 3. Check accreditations There is currently no government based licensing of the ‘locksmithing’ industry, so anyone can call themselves a locksmith. Therefore check if the locksmith is on any approved trade lists e.g. Trusted Trader, Which? Trusted Trader etc. 4. Check they are local National locksmiths often appear to be local but when you call, connect you to a call centre in another city. They then subcontract the job to a locksmith in your area. This means they usually cost a lot more, as the fee they charge has to cover both the work of the locksmith and the cost of the call centre! You also have no idea how competent the locksmith you get is. 5. Check they have Insurance Always check that they have public liability insurance to cover costs in the unlikely event that they cause damage to your property. 6. Listen carefully A good locksmith will ask relevant questions when you call. They will have seen just about every type of lock problem, many, many times before and by asking the right questions can usually figure out the problem and give you an accurate quote over the phone. 7. Get a few quotes When looking for an emergency locksmith, always get more than one quote. Watch out for dodgy locksmiths that give you a really low estimate over the phone and add lots of extras when they arrive. Always ask if the quote includes call out fees, labour, parts, VAT or any other surcharges. 2 Oxgangs Farm Gardens Edinburgh EH13 9QE If you are looking for a local locksmith you can trust, get in touch with us using the contacts below https://herolocksmith.co.uk Hero Locksmith
