Choosing a Local Locksmith Over a National Call Centre

Although national call centres may quote cheap labour charges, they will inflate part prices which covers their costs such as advertising, commission and the costs associated with running their call centre. The locksmith who is tasked with your query will only receive a small percentage from the work that is carried out so many recommend more expensive options such as having a lock replaced where your lock could just be repaired to increase their cut. It’s important to bear in mind that many apparently local locksmiths are national companies in disguise and will still try to over charge to cover their costs.

When you call a reliable, genuine local locksmith such as Forth Locks, a fully qualified locksmith will answer your call who will try to establish what the problem is that yo are having and give you an indication of the time and expected cost for the work. It’s difficult to give an accurate quotation until the locksmith visits your property but they will be able to give you an estimated indication of the cost of the work before visiting your property or premises.

We also offer no call out charge, which ensures that work will only be carried out once you are happy with and confirmed that you wish to continue with the cost quoted ensuring that there are no surprises. Should you need any follow up customer care, we provide the assurance that we are close at hand if you need this. We have no middlemen taking a cut of the money you pay, which lets you know that you are getting better value for money.

Emergency Locksmith in Edinburgh

Have you gone to open your door and felt the sense of dread that you’ve forgotten your front door key? Has your door slammed behind you whilst you have stepped outside and locked you out? No matter how cautious you are in your home, mistakes or accidents can happen that leave you locked out or your UPVC front door, back door or patio door has become jammed. This is why we offer a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year emergency locksmith service with no call-out charge. We will ensure wherever possible that non-destructive entry is used and we offer typically a 30 minute response time. We support all of the major lock brands and offer a fully insured and qualified service. Whenever any new locks are required to be fitted, all new locks will be fitted to BS3621 Insurance Standards and we accept all major debit and credit cards for payment.

UPVC Door Specialists

UPVC doors tend to offer higher amounts of security than other locking mechanisms but a door is only as secure as the locking mechanism itself. If your lock on your UPVC door has been broken or damaged then our expert locksmiths can offer you the lock replacement and UPVC lock repair that you need. Due to the fact that not everyone uses their UPVC mechanism properly, the mechanism will not be fully engaged. Some just pull the door shut when it should be shut by pulling shut, lifting the handle and turning the key. This could affect insurance claims from a break-in. We always provide honest advice, and may recommend that you upgrade your locks to insurance industry standards or to take advantage of modern innovations in locking technology like anti-snap cylinders.

Security of Your Property During the Holiday Season

Unfortunately during the holiday seasons, crime tends to increase as thieves know that there are presents and other expensive gifts in properties. This means that thieves may be looking to target properties in order to obtain expensive gifts. Ensuring that your property is fully secure, especially during the holiday season is vital and we can help you fully secure your property. Whether you need replacement locks, better locking systems for the doors in your property or other security upgrades – we can help. We can install additional property security for areas such as your out buildings, doors, windows and garage. We can also install locks for access to lofts and other shared areas. We have a fully mobile locksmith service which ensures that we can help you secure your property during the holiday season. In the unfortunate event that a burglary does take place, we offer burglary repairs and boarding up as well as replacement door and window handles as well as door realignment services.

Bailiff & Sherrif Work – Gaining Access to a Property

With over  25 years’ experience assisting enforcement agencies & bailiffs, we can help you gain access to a property or premises offering the utmost professionalism during this understandably sensitive time. We also understand that this is often a time in which work needs to be completed quickly and with added pressure compared to other emergency locksmith situations. Our vans are fully stocked and carry an array of chains, padlocks and locks which ensures that we are prepared for any eventuality.

Landlords may experience the unfortunate event of having tenants that make persistent late payments or non-payment of rent. They may also exhibit antisocial behaviour or they may refuse to vacate your property at the end of a tenancy agreement. Once the due legal process has been completed (a formal process which will be regulated to protect all parties involved) we can be instructed to attend the property that needs to be repossessed at the same time as the Bailiff. This is to ensure that minimum disruption, fuss and damage is caused during the repossession process. We will ensure that your property is secured when repossession is completed and we can also change the locks on your property if this is required.

Do I Need to Change My Locks?

A question that is commonly asked is, “do I need to change my locks?” Whether you are faced with an emergency or you are simply looking to increase the security of your property – changing the locks on your property or business premises (especially if they haven’t been changed since you took ownership or tenantship where relevant) is a great idea to consider. In regards to the locks on your current property, it’s difficult to ascertain who may have a set of keys to your property. This is because keys can be cut for your lock only requiring one key or your master key. Anyone who has been trusted with a key to the property in the past could have access to the property and this leaves you at risk should a key be misplaced or used maliciously. This could also affect the insurance of your property should a break-in occur with no forced entry.

The security of your business premises is of the utmost importance, especially when you are housing expensive equipment and supplies that are vital to your business. Investing in high-security locks not only increases the protection of your business possessions, it also ensures that your staff are protected.
