Please note the operative words used in the title of this article. We are referring to reputable professional locksmiths here. With the spate of scams perpetrated by unscrupulous locksmith companies in various parts of the United States, the reputation of other professional locksmiths are put in question, as well. People should be reminded to always check on the credentials of the professional locksmith company they are hiring. Make sure it has a current valid accreditation from the local Better Business Bureau.
The neighbourhood handyman is, of course, not a professional locksmith. It does not matter if he knows how to do simple lock installation and lock repair. Neither should it matter that he will charge you much less. You may have saved a few dollars with his services and from buying those cheap types of deadbolts and padlocks but you have much more to lose because you have left your home or business security vulnerable and in high risk of being breached. Both residential and commercial spaces these days need higher levels of security from more sophisticated lock systems. The lock installation or lock repair required for such advanced security systems also require the services of true professional locksmiths.
For your residential security needs, professional locksmith companies can prevent burglars from breaking in with the installation and repair of advanced high security locks, sliding glass door locks, specialty knobs, key cylinders, levers, high end deadbolts, door viewers, safes, secure mailboxes and surveillance cameras.
The security of existing residential locks may be compromised when people who have had previous access to their keys are no longer welcome to have unlimited entry to the household. The home owner can request a professional locksmith to change all the affected locks in the house. A more cost effective alternative would be to re-key all those locks instead. This would involve changing the old lock pins and wafer tumblers, thereby disabling all the old keys and rendering them useless. New keys can then be cut by the same professional locksmith company right on the site. To ensure even stricter security, most professional locksmith companies would advice home owners to use restricted keys such as those from Medeco. These keys can only be duplicated by authorized centers and only with the owner's authorization.
For your commercial security needs, professional locksmith companies can prevent break ins and burglaries with the installation and repair of access control systems, master key systems, buzzer entry systems, keyless entry systems, panic and emergency exit devices, rear door security bars, door closers, safes, lockboxes, file cabinet locks, desk locks and secure key cabinets.
A professional locksmith company can also help you beyond your residence or business space. You can call a professional locksmith company for immediate assistance when you happen to leave your automotive keys inside your vehicle or elsewhere. Their technicians will arrive promptly to unlock your car door properly and safely. This is important because any attempt to unlock modern car doors without proper knowledge and the right tools for the job can result in expensive damage to the vehicle. You may think you are making a wise move by hiring the handyman to jimmy your car door open but you could end up spending a lot more on your ruined car door.
