Choosing the right locksmith is not only for the quality of the work, but the safety of your home and belongings. Yes, the statement is true! In Colorado, you do not have to be licensed to be a locksmith. Believe it or not, there are only 13 states in the US that actually require certification. 

Risks

  • Security

The most significant risk would be your security!! Most intermediate locksmiths can cut a copy of your key based on the key-code. 

  • Quality 

Quality locksmiths are hard to come by, that is why opting for one with quality reviews, and several years in business would likely be a great fit. Protect your investments! 

  • Bait and Switch

If there are red flags, listen!! There are many cases in which a customer will call a locksmith, get a price, and then once the job is done, it’s a different outrageous price. If pricing is unclear, or inconsistent, I would immediately find a different company. 

Proactive Research 

  • Years in business

Always, ask how long the company has been in business. The length of operation will reflect the quality, and customer service provided. 

  • Reviews 

Check the customer reports! We recommend choosing a locksmith with a 4.5+ out of 5 star rating just to be safe. Reading reviews, positive and negative, can tell you a lot about a company.

  • Brick & Mortar 

As a business that has been open for over 30 years. Having a storefront has always been important to our values. Of course, having a brick and mortar store is not required to be an honest locksmith. However, it reflects long standing businesses who will be there, whenever you need.
