Locksmiths on the Internet

Jeez.  I guess that’s the only way to start this post.  The internet is SATURATED with locksmiths in the Phoenix valley.  It’s very hard for a consumer to figure out who is who what is what.  Who do you trust with your security? 

There are A LOT of scam artist companies advertising here in the valley.  Non-local,  lock service advertising trying to lure in the unsuspecting.  I wanted to post here, as the owner of ASAP Lock & Security, that these companies are bogus and they bother me deeply.  It is WRONG and IMMORAL to take advantage of people in an emergency situation..be it locked out of their home, car or office. WRONG.   Beware of the 800 phone numbers and well, they even have local numbers too, but they ring into a hub somewhere…be it Toronto or Atlanta.  So watch out and ask questions.  If the owner won’t get on the phone with you?  They most likely are a scam company.

Speaking as the owner of a locksmith service that is established here in the valley, it is very apparant that ASAP Lock & Secuirty has strong  business ethics and we are qualified trade professionals.  I can support this very simply:  ASAP Lock & Security has a strong client referral base.  Our customers like to pass the word along to friends and collegues.   Our customers have loyalty when it comes to their locksmith security company and we own that loyalty and give back with THE BEST LOCK SERVICE and security they desire.   Referrals are our biggest compliment! 

Call ASAP Lock & Security@ 480-380-2080 BEFORE there is an emergency or if you have a security question and want to speak to a locksmith.

Residential Concerns and the Home Budget

When you first move into a home, the absolute first thing you should do, once you pass papers and the property has recorded into your family name…..REKEY.  Who has the key to that property?  The list could go on and on.  Many times, with a new house purchase the homeowner would rather spend money on new carpet, or a dishwasher or paint..or..As an owner of a security company..I get it.  I love to point out the simple instance, the obvious risk of  not know who has the key to your new house.  The other is, by hiring a trusted locksmith service you can keep that expensive handle set on your door because we will repair and rekey it.  Think you’d save money buying a new one and trying to install it?  Think again.  The cost of a rekey vs. changing your locks in your house?  Buying new–even doing it yourself is always more costly.  Hire a trusted locksmith service when you first move in.  We can fix what’s “acting funny”  too, just in case, so you don’t have future lock issues.
