There’s nothing more terrifying than being locked out of your car or home on a dark night, alone and unsure where your keys could have ended up. This is an unfortunate reality many of us will face at some point in life. But it doesn’t have to be a scary one. Thanks in large part to Locksmiths.
A locksmith is a professional contractor with specific skills in everything related to entry access. They are trained to install, uninstall, fix and take apart everything from door knobs to locks, ignition cylinders and other forms of entry.
These professionals have been a part of society since the very early years. From ancient Egypt creating locks out of wood, to the 10th century when many blacksmiths began to focus their skills on making locks specifically.
Training and Certifications
Today, professional locksmith training involves both course work studies and in-person, hands-on training to learn the skills necessary for the art of locksmithing. There are many schools dedicated to teaching the craft as well as exams and licensing requirements in many states.
Checking for the BBB accreditation seal is another way to ensure the locksmith you are selecting to work with has a positive track record in the marketplace – with everything from advertising to customer service.
Customers Served
Many locksmiths provide services to both consumer and business customers. The services can range from a simple home lock upgrade, to a car key ignition rekeying or the repair and install of professional grade security locks on large building doors.
It’s always important to check that a locksmith has recommendations and past work experience providing the services you need. A large part of their job as a lock repairman is to work during non-business hours and many will arrive at your location at any time you need assistance so partnering with a credible and honest company is important.
Other Skills
Locksmiths are also trained to prevent damage when fixing or opening locks and may provide additional services such as cutting keys, rekeying locks and even recommending and installing new hardware.
All American Locksmiths provides prompt lockout services as well as new lock installs and more for commercial and residential customers throughout Connecticut and Westchester Country.
