When it comes to protecting the privacy and security of your home or automobile, you need to know that you have access to a locksmith you can trust. If you need a locksmith for new lock replacement, deadbolt installation, or to make a new set of keys, be wary of scams that could make your home or vehicle a target. 

Richmond Hill Locksmith, a trusted locksmith company serving the greater Richmond Hill, GA region, offers three tips on avoiding a locksmith scam:

• Ask For ID: Most legitimate locksmiths— Richmond Hill Locksmith included— will drive a clearly marked company vehicle. Some companies don't use marked vehicles, so if you're not sure if the person at your door is a legitimate locksmith, ask to see their ID before allowing them access to your home or car.
• Get An Estimate: Avoid being surprised by the invoice. Ask the locksmith exactly what the service will cost and if there’s any added fees, such as an additional cost for emergency service. If you get an estimate over the phone, make sure the locksmith who arrives at your home states the same price.
• Be Proactive: If you have an emergency situation, you’re likely to not have enough time to research locksmiths properly. That’s why it’s important to research locksmiths in your area before you need them and program their number into your phone.
