Mesa, AZ Crime on Rise
There is just no doubt about it, crime is rising. Please don’t become one of my customers who tells me “I should have listened.” It’s hard in this economy to want to upgrade or call service people, unless you feel it’s absolutely necessary. Please don’t put your mechanical safety-your locks-your first line of security defense, on the “to do only in emergency” case situations.
Example from this trusted Mesa, AZ locksmith service company,I’ve got a local customer who did NOT re key when he let an employee go and it was discovered next morning that a laptop was missing from the shop. Hmmmm, kind of coincidental, huh?
It’s tough enough. Don’t skimp on your insurance policies to save money and don’t skimp on locksmith services for your Mesa, AZ office. Hire a trusted Mesa locksmith service and listen to good advice.
As a locksmith in Mesa,I’d much rather go to a call for preventative maintenance, not for these types of theft calls.
Locksmiths – There are many in Phoenix!
Just a note about national companies conducting a locksmith business in many states. One of them, ARIZONA. These companies set up slick web sites – notice- that are not personalized so you have no real pictures of who you are doing business with and be assured that the locksmith who comes to service, is of poor quality and training. The reason why I say this? You cannot run a national company for a local service and still maintain quality!
Arizona is a good target because our licensing is lax. A felon can perform locksmithing in Arizona! WOW.
So, who are you going to trust? Number one, beware of the slick national companies. Look on their website for service in other cities…they will be pointing their website to other locksmiths in other cities…because THEY OWN THAT WEB SITE TOO!
The main jobs these national companies pull off are lockouts. The unfortunate, needy and unsuspecting customer in this situation is looking for a “deal” and is quoted a VERY LOW price on the phone, the locksmith, you can’t even call them that–the technition then, shows up at your car or home –in a car or suv or some other non-professional vehical, and says…that will be $250 to get you in.
Call a local ethical company. Call the locksmiths you can trust-ASAP Lock & Security. We background check our locksmiths and they’ve been working for us for years. Not like these national companies who hire the unskilled to come tear off your doors, damage your car doors or bring a crow bar to open your shed.
Call us and speak to a real, credible, local Phoenix Locksmith Service Company! This means we cover the valley. Whether you are in Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Chandler or Gilbert!
Sincerely,

Locksmith in Mesa, AZ-Please Open My Door!
True story from a professional Mesa AZ Locksmith. Please call our office in Mesa at 480-380-2080 to answer any questions. Back to the locksmith story. I was called out at 6:45am to please, please, please, I locked my keys in my bedroom. Can you come now, I need to get to work! As locksmiths, of course this is what we do. We help people out of jams, me personally, I like helping people NOT get into jams, by installing high security and code locks-wouldve avoided this story, but…mistakes happen so of course I hopped in the truck and got there within 15 minutes. The bedroom lock was installed incorrectly, upside down Kwikset lock. I took out my pick tools. By the way, do you know how much a good set of professional locksmith picks cost a locksmith? Just let me say…not cheap. So, I picked the worried woman’s door open in about two minutes (remember, I was sleepy). She paid me, thanked me for my kind and fast service and said she really had to get to work. I said, “Well, have a nice day, and don’t do this anymore.” We both chuckled and had each of our starts to our day.
Later on, we got a call at about 4:45pm. ’ Hi this is Ms. xyz, I can’t get into my bedroom again! My key won’t work. What did you do to the lock?’ I assured this woman, that the picks I have–or any other professional locksmith, the picks would NOT-absolutely NOT harm the lock in any way. Do you have the right key for your bedroom door? Oh, yes. I think…yes, yes I do, you must have broken the lock, can you come over and let me in again?’ Are you sure you have the correct key, Mame? ‘Look, I think I lost it again, I need help and I can’t afford another lock out fee. Please just come over’ I sighed, oh, this woman’s day…obviously, had not improved. I gave her my most rock-bottom-can’t get any cheaper rate to help her, again, because…well, I have a big heart. My heart doesn’t pay my bills, but I believe, Karma is real so it’s a fair swap. Back to the story…simple of it was, she wasn’t satisfied. She wanted me to come over with no lock-out charge. I said, wait, let me understand, you want me to come over FOR FREE? I asked her one question and I asked it softly…Mame, do you work for free?
Customers, please understand, we cannot come to you on-site and perform work for FREE. What we do promise, is that you will be treated with respect, professionally and you will NOT be over-charged for services. Now this locksmith in Mesa, AZ, the one with the heart, did not set-up a non-profit organization.
Hmmm, maybe I should look into that? Please, all humor aside, if you need locksmith service in Mesa or Phoenix or anywhere else in the valley, please call a trusted locksmith at ASAP Lock & Security. We will be glad to help.
