The one major difference between an emergency locksmith and a regular locksmith is operating times. An emergency locksmith would normally provide 24 hour services while a regular locksmith will only be available during their regular opening hours (usually between 9.00am-5.00pm). That means that choosing the wrong type of locksmith would also reflect on availability and the amount of time that you are going to be locked out of your property.
That’s the thing with emergencies; they don’t always happen at convenient times. In fact, often it feels like they always happen at the least convenient times! Since we never know when to expect a lockout and that an immediate response is usually required it’s good to always use the service of an emergency locksmith. Most emergency locksmiths offer the following services at any given hour:
• Lock opening Service
• Lock repairs
• Lock replacements
• Safes opening service
• Burglary Repairs
Qualified emergency locksmiths are bonded and insured technicians who work on a mobile basis. You may find that an emergency locksmith covers a slightly smaller area than a regular commercial or residential locksmith; this is normal and something that should encourage every customer, not deter them.
The reason I say this is that to be called out in an emergency situation or an inconvenient time means that the locksmith has to reach his destination as quickly as possible; emergency locksmiths need to cover a smaller, discrete area in order to achieve this. The other added advantage is that customers can be sure that their locksmith knows the area well.
