Why is it important to hire a qualified, certified locksmith?

Everyone will come across the need for a locksmith at some time. Certification ensures that your work will be done by someone who has had extensive training, assured by a registered organization with an established quality of standards. Here are a few reasons why…

CERTIFIED LOCKSMITHS HAVE GENUINE TRAINING

Just because you can execute a simple lock job does not make you a locksmith. Regrettably, this is the case for many individuals who present themselves as locksmiths in South Africa. A lot of the time these “locksmiths” have not had training and are just looking to cash in on members of the public, which ends up causing unnecessary damage and expensive repairs. Certified locksmiths undertake extensive training to acquire the qualifications and security clearance needed to become a certified locksmith. They are able to provide precise and beneficial security and service to all customers.

CERTIFIED LOCKSMITHS HAVE PROFICIENCY

Certified locksmiths have expertise in the most recent technological updates within the security industry and have profound knowledge of leading security systems, and therefore can produce a high-quality service and supply recommendations that are best suited to each individual’s needs. This assures long-term safety and security. There is no guarantee if a locksmith is not certified.

CERTIFIED LOCKSMITHS ARE INSURED

Regardless of whether it’s your home, business or car, repairing and replacing locks can be overwhelming. The process needs to be handled with care or it could result in damage that becomes the responsibility of the customer instead of the locksmith hired. If a locksmith is insured, he will furnish reimbursement for any damage caused while working. This should offer the customer some peace of mind throughout the process.

CERTIFIED LOCKSMITHS HAVE UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT

Certified locksmiths are fully equipped with the essential tools of their trade. Without the correct equipment you could compromise the lock itself. By hiring a certified locksmith, your new lock or locking system will be correctly installed and highly functional.

CERTIFIED LOCKSMITHS ARE RESPECTED AND DEPENDABLE

Reputation and reliability are another benefit of hiring a certified locksmith. Companies with well-established reputations, experienced in all types of locks and locks systems and with the constant change in technology, hiring a certified locksmith promises you are in capable hands.

By using a certified locksmith you are placing your trust and security in their well-equipped, highly trained, and professional hands. The risks of hiring an uncertified locksmith can lead to even more damage than you started with. It is not worth it.
