How To Stay Away From Locksmith Fraud

Illegitimate locksmiths do exist, and locksmith fraud is fast becoming an everyday occurrence. So how can you tell a genuine locksmith from a fraud?

There are sure tell-tale signs to look out for when dealing with locksmiths to protect yourself from fraud and potential theft. These tips can help save you money, unnecessary inconvenience, and help to keep you safe.

Always Ask Personnel For Corporate Photo ID

A genuine company will provide all their staff with a photo ID clearly stating their job title, department, and employee number. Never allow anyone into your home without a thorough ID check.

Always Use Locally Registered Companies

Use a local Singapore locksmith with a valid physical location, like an office or storefront. It is also easier to get recourse with a physical place in case of any issues.

Always Obtain A Detailed and Written Quotation

Written quotations contain company details including their registered offices, tax details, a contact number and email, and in some cases the company Directors’ details. Quotations also indicate what the locksmith will do to avoid misunderstandings.

Inspect The Authenticity of The Technicians’ Tools

Professional locksmiths use high-quality tools, which prevent potential damage to your locks. Frauds go for cheap equipment, only needed to get in and get out of your car or home as quickly as possible, so look out for this.

What Do You Do When You Are Locked Out Of Your House?

Try To Get In Through A Window

An open window is the fastest way to get into the house if you are unlucky enough to lock yourself out. Carefully squeeze yourself through the window if feasible, and be careful not to hit your head on the window sill or fall into the house and injure yourself.

Alert A Trusted Neighbour, Friend or Family Member

Trusted friends and family members can act as spare key holders, and they are often the first people you should contact. Landlords and caretakers or building managers may also have spare or master keys that could open your door, once they have confirmed your identity. However, never give out the key to your home to anyone you do not trust completely.

Try Using A Laminated Card

You may try to unlock your door using a laminated card—but make sure that is one of little value to you. Try to insert the card in between the door frame and the door, near the latch. Hold the card in a perpendicular position, and then begin to push it, while bending it away from the doorknob. This method will only work with doors that have spring bolts, however.

Consider An Inconspicuous Hiding Place

Although not recommended, this method can help you save on cost. If you live in a semi-detached or detached house, identify an inconspicuous hiding place where you can hide your key should you get locked out in the future.

Call A Locksmith

If all else fails, call a professional locksmith. A quick Google search should reveal professional, genuine companies near your house. The more local they are, the better, giving you a clear indication of their physical location in case of any issues. Of course, this service will cost you, but it prevents you from damaging your lock by trying to break into your house yourself. Most locksmiths in Singapore should get to you within half an hour at the very latest.
