locksmith-az

ASAP Lock & Security customers arrive via phone call to discuss how recently a family member or a friend was ripped off by a locksmith.  It’s very sad to continue to see articles in the New York Times still commenting about locksmith fraud.  Here in the Phoenix valley professional locksmith az is unfortunately, hard to find.  One of the reasons is due to lack of state licensing for Arizona locksmiths. Please let’s not get into criticizing the great state of Arizona.  There are only 13 states in the US that license locksmiths.  California is one of them.  I know a very professional locksmith in California that informs me all the time that locksmiths pose as licensed, when they are not.  Simple fact is that you can pass licensing in a state, but what good is it if it is not enforced?  For your protection, as a consumer, bottom line is this, for a professional locksmith az,  (please forgive the keywords here)  but for professional locksmith service, call now and interview who you would want to do business with if the time ever came for you to call on an Arizona locksmith.  Hey, ask for me!  My name is Laura, I own ASAP Lock & Security, and I can attest and I have many client testimonials too who can say without a doubt,  I am a talented, honest and professional Arizona locksmith and reputable business owner. Let me help you and I certainly appreciate my loyal customers.

Gilbert Police, criminals and taxes

So, I’m asking, America.  Let me get this straight.  An off duty, partially officially dressed, Gilbert police officer was in Walmart shopping, when he noticed a woman shoplifting.  He followed her out of the store and approached her in the parking lot.  The woman had a man in the parking lot waiting for her.  The woman struck the Gilbert officer in the face, knocking off his glasses.  The officer called 911 so she could be arrested for shoplifting and then the man approached the officer.  The officer drew his gun and ordered the man to get down on the ground.  The man continued to approach and verbally threaten the officer and he shot the man in the groin.

This Gilbert police officer was demoted to a dispatch desk job.  The shoplifting criminals went to court to sue the Gilbert police for $300,000.  The criminals won $75,000.  Wow. 

Now this Gilbert Locksmith understands two things from this true story (according to news sources, because I didn’t look it up in the court docs) but the two things about this situation are, you are NEVER I mean NEVER allowed by law to draw down on someone of equal stature to defend yourself…especially in a theft situation.  For example, if you are in your home and you hear something outside and someone is trying to steal your car, by law, you CANNOT shoot that criminal for theft.  Unfortunately, as some might add. Now, if the criminal has a gun or a knife and dives at you, THEN you are justified.

Second thing I understand from this story is that criminals HAVE RIGHTS.  As, in this case, as unfortunate as that may be, the town of Gilbert had to pay up because this cop wasn’t strong enough to take on a woman and a man by hand.  He had the opportunity to detain, but drawing a weapon on an unarmed man is a no no.  And you know what…sometimes, I feel like…darn, that’s too bad huh?

I mean shoplifting is one thing. Assaulting a police officer is WRONG and the criminals got paid and the tax payers of Gilbert… got jacked.

God Bless America.

Access Control for Phoenix Businesses

Recently, a flurry of businesses have been hiring this Phoenix locksmith for access conrol.  Hiring a competent phoenix locksmith service for access control security decisions is important.  Not only are the locks expensive, but which access control lock is correct for your phoenix building? Ask a knowledgeable locksmith service to help you choose and discuss maintenance.   After a decision, the phoenix locksmith service you have will need to correctly install the lock and test it.  There are many choices on the internet and rock bottom slashing of prices from internet based companies that would like you to choose their locks for purchase.  The danger of these companies is that sometimes they use refurbished units and there will be no one on the end of the phone for warranty issues.   At ASAP Lock & Security, we supply and install access control for our customers towarranty work and are able to enforce manufacturer warranties because we have business relationships with our vendors.  A professional locksmith service should have great relationships with their vendors.  Does your locksmith mention that? Great advice for the business owner wanting a keypad keyless entry for their business. Hire a professional Phoenix locksmith service for  access control planning.  Handymen trying to do their best do just that, but when it comes to the more sophisticated locking mechanisms being “off by a little” doesn’t make it work. Go with a professional Phoenix locksmith service that can help businesses make correct decisions then make it happen smoothly so employee monitoring doesn’t have to be complicated.
