Ivanas was quick to communicate and showed up on time. He was understanding when due to a situation on my side he had to come back the next day, for which I was very grateful. My microwave was fixed quickly and he had brought all the doors he would need as he prepared for the task beforehand. I’m very happy he came to help me!!

Next, we encourage you to ask for identification once the locksmith arrives. They will also ask you for proof of ownership, so everyone should be covered in security.
To prove that you own your home, the locksmith may request a copy of the deed to your home, an ID with your address, or mail with your address on it. Or, they may ask your landlord or neighbours to verify that you are indeed locked out of your home. On the other hand, an auto locksmith may request to see your car’s title, so it’s best to keep this handy in your glovebox.

Need help clearing out your old place? You can find affordable furniture removalists through our platform.

What does a local locksmith service include?
While they’re great in emergencies, you can call on a locksmith to help with other lock-related challenges, too. Here’s what you can expect when you hire a locksmith for different tasks:
Emergency locksmith
Emergency locksmiths are available at short notice and often work outside standard trading hours. Ideally, you want to make an emergency call to a locksmith near you so they can get to you quickly and keep your lockout time to a minimum. An emergency locksmith will first try to pick your locks and deadbolts to get you back into your home. But if this doesn’t work, they’ll have the right tools to drill the lock and immediately install a new one to keep your home secure.
Auto locksmith near me
If you break or lose your car key, or lock it inside your car, you can hire an automotive locksmith. They can unlock your car to retrieve your keys or replace your lock and key with a new one. Auto locksmiths can also help with fitting car locks, fixing car door handles, and replacing ignition barrels.
Lock repair
Locks don’t last forever. Wear and tear can make them stick or even break. Sometimes, you may even need burglary repairs. A locksmith can help with lock repair on your front door, car door, garage door, mailbox, bathroom/bedroom, and even your windows and sliding doors. They’ll either fix and realign the broken lock or if it’s beyond fixing, they’ll replace it with a new one.
Lock installation
If you’ve got a new door, a broken lock, or you’re not confident your current security system is secure, you might need a new lock installed. This is a smart idea if you’ve lost track of who has access or a copy of your keys. Find a locksmith near you to install a new or upgraded lock so you can be confident it’s done properly. When you post your task, be sure to specify what type of lock you need fitted, whether you have the lock already, or if you need the locksmith to provide materials.
