locksmith makes sense.

Here are some compelling reasons why you should ignore that flashy advert at the top of your google search offering the cheapest price and consider the bigger picture and risk of hidden costs:
1. Quick Response Times
When you’re locked out of your home or business every minute counts. If you choose a local locksmith they can be at your location much faster than someone coming out of area. Their proximity means less waiting time and more immediate action to get you back on track.
2. Customer service
Local locksmiths thrive on their reputation in the community. Often their customers are people in their own networks (friends, neighbours, staff at their local restaurant or shop, teachers and coaches of their children) and if they’re local to you it is likely you’ll have connections in common. They are more likely to go above and beyond to ensure you’re satisfied with their services, providing a level of personal care and attention that larger chains often can’t match. You’ll get to know them, you’ll know you can rely on them and they’ll get to know your specific needs.

Local independent locksmiths don’t have the overhead costs to pay for a national brand and all the marketing support that goes with that. They also have more independence around their pricing and won’t have any hidden fees. As they have set their own prices they will be able to explain them clearly to you and also have scope to be flexible when offering more than one service (eg discounted price when fitting a replacement lock after gaining entry). Local locksmiths are also often smaller business who don’t need to pay VAT; this can translate into an additional saving to you.
