There are steps you can take in checking the credentials of a locksmith in Zambia. Speedy Lock takes you through to help you choose the correct locksmith for you, we recommend the following steps:

Look for Third Party

One way we’d propose when hoping to enlist a locksmith is for outsider endorsement and any accreditation. Ensure the Company or Locksmith is endorsed. Assuming the conceivably employed locksmith has cases of endorsement by different affiliations, you might need to check what’s associated with getting this endorsement.

On the off chance that a locksmith is professing to be certify ensure you check the accreditation being asserted is valid or not. You may discover a few organizations making bogus cases of accreditation and utilizing logos without consent, this is something we go over consistently. There are tragically a few affiliations where logo use and web advancement is accessible through installment alone, along these lines meaning their “accreditation” really doesn’t imply that much.

Go Local instead of National Call Centers

Utilizing your nearby expert locksmith is additionally essential, be careful about utilizing public call communities to enlist a locksmith as they frequently sub out the work to anybody around there. Call focuses regularly sub out work without essentially performing full keeps an eye on their locksmiths or realizing how great a task they’ll do, they can frequently likewise charge definitely more than your nearby authorized locksmith will.

Recommendations & Word of Mouth

Recommendations and word of mouth is also a good way to find your local reliable locksmith, ask family or trusted friends if they’ve had lock work done, if so by whom and were they happy. We recommend you look at the following:

  • Look at Review sites – Don’t just look at Google reviews, also look at Yell, Facebook, Twitter etc…
  • Companies House – Verify the company are still trading.

Get 3 Quotes

We always recommend to a get at least 3 quotes as the cost of hiring a locksmith can vary depending on the type of job, your location and day/time. Overcharging is something we hear about a lot in the locksmith industry, due to there being no regulation by the government, so locksmiths can charge any price. You can contact Speedy Lock for estimated costs a locksmith’s charges and a checklist of price questions to ask the locksmith.

We have a full internal complaints procedure for any complaints we receive about overcharging by any approved locksmith.

Beware of Cheap Locksmith Adverts

Be cautious of locksmith adverts on Google claiming to charge cheap or a similar relatively small amount – this is often a red flag for a “bait and switch” scheme whereby further costs are added to the price. Visit our website www.speedy-lock.com for questions to ask your locksmith to prevent being overcharged, also view our locksmith call out fee guide for information on how much a call out fee normally is.

Finding a Locksmith on Google

If you are searching for a locksmith on Google, we’d advise skipping the paid-for adverts, as these just show who is willing to pay significant amounts for jobs. A lot of the time the paid for locksmith Google adverts are national call centres, who farm out work to maintenance companies who are not even local locksmiths. Be wary of Google Maps Locksmiths as well:

  • Sometimes the physical location is ‘made up’ by the company via a virtual address
  • Google does not verify the addresses supplied by companies.

We have been made aware of map entries for locksmiths being in hairdressers, the middle of a dual carriageway and even in one instance in a public convenience!
