Locksmith Scams Are Like Spam

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Locksmiths are probably the number one disliked companies on the internet and as far as Google is concerned they are just really hard to deal with. You have a large percentage that aren’t licensed and another large percent that are either fake or illegally here in the United States. A-1 Locksmiths is not only a legit licensed locksmith but also has been serving the Dallas and Fort Worth community for over 60 years without any negative filed complaints that weren’t resolved successfully.


Spam consumes are our lives. From the internet, to our mail, and then telemarketers which I consider spam because they are the same thing just over the telephone. Spam creates this false hope that their can actually be this great opportunity for us or special deals that we are missing on a regular basis. So spam usually results in being a scam. Scams are frequent in many areas but they criminals have a special place in their hearts for the locksmith industry.


Locksmith scams are weeds that have dug their roots in deep in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Some are cheap and you will only find them in the yellow pages but others have become smarter and have posted websites but usually those sites are really cheap looking or outdated looking. But you have to be super careful when choosing a locksmith. You don’t want an illegal or con artist coming to your car or home. For all you know they could actually be casing the place out for a robbery. So you can never be to careful when it comes to picking the right locksmith for you.


A-1 Locksmiths has a few suggestions that should help when it comes to choosing the right Dallas locksmith:

  • Ask trusted friends who they use.
  • Search for the highest rated locksmith in your area.
  • Go to that locksmiths location before hand to see if they are a legit company. (then program their information into your phone for emergencies)
  • Ask to see proof of certification that they are indeed a locksmith.
  • Once you feel comfortable with the highest reputable locksmith put their info in your phone. 972-284-7585

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

To insure the safety of our home their are some things we have to put into place and things we have to change on an annual basis. A-1 Locksmiths has some security suggestions for the Dallas and Fort Worth community to consider.


A-1 Locksmiths guarantee the lowest prices in the locksmith industry! CALL 972-284-7585 for more info!


Most home owners don’t ever consider rekeying their homes. That thought never crosses their mind and it can actually lead to a break-in. For instance, we tend to lose our keys or misplace them at some point in our lives. Well most people have never thought of what actually happens to those lost keys. Who finds them? Are they a respectable people? Where did I lose them? These questions should be a cause for alarm. If we lose our keys near our home and someone else finds them, those individuals are given a choice, a choice of good or evil. Now I do have to say that our neighbors will probably find the keys but what if they don’t? And what if a criminal finds them? That criminal is going to take his time to attack your home.


So when we lose our keys it is always good to replace them soon after. This will keep our home from burglars and prowlers. We can never be to safe when it comes to the safety of our families and this security measure is just one way to keep them safe.


A-1 Locksmiths also encourage Dallas home owners to get a security system. This is another security measure we can put in place to protect our family and home. When we leave for vacation or just for a few hours when we are shopping it will keep our home safe from invaders. A-1 Locksmiths isn’t trying to be that annoying little voice in your ear but they do take family safety very seriously and know that placing a security alarm system in your home and rekeying the locks in your home are two huge ways in keep both of them safe.

Here are the Christmas Home Security Tips:

  • Always make sure all your windows and doors are locked before leaving the house. Even though this might take a few minutes, its better than spending a whole day with the police filling out a report because your home was broken into.
  • If you are leaving for a few days make sure your keep your cars in the driveway NOT the car garage. This will make the attacker believe that their are people still at the house.
  • Put key lights on timers so that the lights come on at specific times during the day. Early evening is a good time and have them go off at a usual bed time.
  • If you are leaving make sure all your extra keys are put back into the house.
  • Also make sure someone is picking up your mail. Even though looking into someone’s mailbox is a federal crime, burglars don’t care because they are in the life of crime.

Whither you are gone for days or just a few hours it is always a good idea for us to have a system in place that will protect our home while we are away.

A-1 Locksmiths has tried it’s best in supplying the community with tactics on how to avoid these dumb people but they always seem to find a way around the law and get to the Dallas public anyways. These scam Artists try to manipulate the Dallas and Fort Worth community into thinking false truth. But these scam artists never last, they always get found out, but they end up setting up shop someplace else.


With the holiday season upon us A-1 Locksmiths wanted to go over a few more ways to avoid these scam artists. CALL 972-284-7585 for lock and key info!

  • Use a licensed and bonded locksmith.
  • Ask for prove of authenticity.
  • Get final price on service on receipt before they start work.

Locksmith scam artists set up shop in big cities so they won’t be caught as fast. We have many in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Locksmith scam artists usually overcharge you by hundreds of dollars and end up messing the locks on your car or home so they can end up charging even more. So one solid tip is if you call and they redirect your phone call to a call center outside of your state and you end up talking to a person who can barely speak English; its probably not wise to let them come to your need even know it might sound like a deal. In the end it will be stressful and money lost.
