Benefits of Engaging A Professional Locksmith

Many people have acquired DIY skills that can produce impressive results. However, the issue of security and functionality is more important than aesthetics. This is why we recommend always using a professional locksmith to install, repair, replace and upgrade your door locks. Here are more reasons to hire professional locksmiths as you would find at SMS Locksmiths.

·  Speedy response

Professional locksmiths avail themselves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This means that whenever you need their services, they set out to immediately visit the location and assess the situation before working on a remedy. This speedy response is just what you need in emergency situations like having locked yourself out of your home or when you find you have been burgled.

·  Technical expertise

There are many different types of locks and doors. To ensure proper installation or repair of these mechanical, and sometimes electric, devices, you need to engage someone that has been fully trained and has experience in locksmith services, not just the local handyman. SMS Locksmiths has recruited fully trained experts in handling locks from all the major brands used in the UK and can be relied upon to find the right solution. They understand how their mechanisms work and can ensure non-destructive entry so clients do not have to worry about having to pay more for repairs.

·  Safety

Whether or not your home or office has been burgled or vandalised before, it is advisable to ensure that your property is as secure as possible. You can consult with our team to find out what options are available in the market if you want to upgrade your security. Professional locksmiths are knowledgeable not just in installing and fixing door locks, but also in how to improve security systems, including through the use of state-of-the-art technologies. If you want to ensure better safety for you, your family and your property, get in touch with us for a consult.

·  Cost savings

When you hire a handyman or opt to go the DIY route to install or repair a lock, there is an increased risk that damage will be done to the lock and the door. Once this happens, you may need to pay even more to fix or replace both. Poor installations are a key source of revenue for locksmiths who find themselves called in to rectify the mistakes made. You can save yourself money by engaging a professional locksmith right from the start, ensuring that the installation or repair is done right and at a minimal cost.

FAQs

Have you been locked out of your home?

It can be very scary and frustrating to find you have locked yourself out of the house with no other means of getting back in. It can get even worse if you have left something cooking on the stove or now have a small child or pet roaming about unsupervised. This kind of situation calls for emergency locksmith services that our team at SMS Locksmiths specialise in.

We are ideally located at The Mall W5, allowing us to arrive at your doorstep within 30 minutes if in the vicinity of Ealing. Our local locksmith is mobile, regularly travelling along the A4020 and B455. Whatever lock-related emergency you are suffering and whatever time of day, we can get to you quickly.

Will you have to break my lock to get back into my house?

No, we do not need to break the lock or door to help you regain entry into your home. Once people lock themselves out of the house, they often assume that the door and/or lock will need to be broken to get back in. Some often try to do this themselves, resulting in far more costly repairs than there needed to be. Our locksmiths possess the skills and tools needed to accomplish non-destructive entry. This means they can get you back in without forcing you to later undertake repairs or replacement. You can continue using your lock just as you did before, just be more mindful when it comes to leaving your keys behind.

My home has been broken into. What should I do?

Burglaries can happen when you least expect them and do not mean you should abandon your property. It also does not mean a repeat of the same will not occur. Besides calling in the police to report the matter, you will also need to undertake after-burglary repairs. This will help secure your home as you wait for the scene to be cleared and allow you to make the necessary repairs and upgrades thereafter.

At SMS Locksmiths, our teams will provide the necessary materials to secure our home, and when you are ready for proper repairs to rectify the damage caused by the burglars, we can help get you new locks and doors, and install them. We recommend changing the locks to all exterior doors even where they have not been damaged as it may suggest the burglars have a key.

Can you replace my locks immediately?

Our locksmiths travel in work vans that are stocked with a selection of standard locks from the major brands used in the UK. This means we can often replace locks if needed, even upon the first visit to the location. If we do not have the lock you require, we can place an order for it to be delivered as quickly as possible and return to install it.

How long will it take you to get to my location?

We always recommend reaching out to locally-based locksmiths that can get to your location quickly. If you reside in and around Ealing, our locksmiths can get to you in under 30 minutes. They drive work vans and regularly use the A4020 and B455 routes, so if somewhere along this path, you can expect a fast response time. Once our locksmiths are notified of your situation, they will get in touch with you to let you know where they are and how long they are likely to take to get to you.
