So, your locks are working fine. But are they, really?
Even if the locks in your property seem not to suffer from any major problems, it’s worth contacting a professional local locksmith for a free security check. This way, you will be able to fix any faulty locks before they break and make sure that your home or office is safe. Remember to ask the locksmith if your locks meet current British security standards and have anti-burglary properties.
In the first place, it is worth ensuring that your lock is installed by professional locksmiths and that it is a proven mechanism of a good brand that meets the BS3621 standard. In case of an emergency, such as a key snapped in the lock, do not open the lock yourself. You can destroy the hinges and the frame, or even hurt yourself.
Moreover, forcing locks, especially outdated ones, may end up with damage to the entire mechanism and you will need a lock replacement anyway – which can be avoided.
Removing snapped keys, repairing broken lock mechanisms and opening broken door locks are not skills that you can learn at school or at home. It is difficult to take care of these issues on your own, and actually – such repairs cannot be carried out properly with DIY methods.
Do not search the Internet for ideas on how to fix a door lock. In case of an emergency, try not to panic. It might be a broken lock, a key snapped in a lock or a lost key – whatever the problem is, do not try to fix it yourself not to make things worse. Most likely the issue can be solved without making damage to your door, as long as you call a professional.
Do not get tempted by the cheapest quote, because there are many false locksmiths online who will force, drill or snap your lock rather than fix it, which will result in the mechanism failure.
Professional emergency lock-out service translates into a non-destructive and mess-free entry.
Nowadays, finding an experienced and certified skilled local locksmith is easier than it might seem. Just say: “OK Google, what’s the best emergency locksmith near me?”, but you can also type “emergency local locksmith”, “emergency locksmith services” or – if you stay in Lincoln – “Lincoln emergency locksmiths”. It’s worth mentioning your postcode, for example, “emergency locksmith LN1” to get someone who is just a few minutes away.
Remember to make sure that the locksmith professionals you find are not a call centre. Search for genuine, trained specialists with a local address and talk with your locksmith personally. A local locksmith should reach your place in less than half an hour with a range of lock mechanisms, tools and accessories which fit all popular brands, such as ERA, Union, Yale and others.
If you have locks of any other brand, an emergency locksmith is going to offer you a range of affordable door repair services.
By getting in touch with a professional local locksmith, you can be sure that the broken lock is going to be repaired with minimal impact on the fragile parts of the mechanism, on the door and the frame. What’s important, most emergency local locksmith services are affordable to all and the quotes are usually met without any hidden additional fees. It is an efficient and affordable solution, which enables you to enter your property and to have it secured for the future.
