Locksmiths and Divorce

It was reported back in October 2008  for Phoenix, AZ:  FACTS –  Maricopa County’s divorce rate is 64 – 70%.  

This is quite a statistic.  Although, it’s reported currently that because of this depressed economy-and financial hardship causes problems with marriages, that the divorce rate is dropping mainly because couples report they cannot afford to get divorced.

The locksmiths at ASAP Lock & Security are often called in before or after divorce happens.   As the female owner and locksmith in the company, I have many times been thanked for just being a female locksmith because wives (soon to be ex-wives) are happy to do business with a woman they can trust.   They have the house now, and they need the locks changed!

Let me tell you, I am happy to help.  And  helping to secure some of these tender clients is much akin to being a great locksmith as it is to being a great bartender.  By the way, something I actually did through college.  

On these divorce calls, you hear it all.  Husbands (soon to be ex-husbands) coming in to snoop, steal (yes, I said steal) and damage property because they are angry.  Physical and emotional abuse and restraining orders..the gammut runs on these behaviors, and it doesn’t matter where you live.

On the other side, to be fair to the guys out there reading this,  I’ve seen the same behavior come from women.  Ex-wives damaging property, cars, golf clubs, man caves and the like…because they are angry.  So, the guys have the house now and they need the locks changed!  This scenario tho….is usually the exception to the calls we receive, but it happens too.

We at ASAP Lock & Security respect your privacy and your situations.  We do not have any judgments either way.  We will, however, make you sign on the dotted line that you are authorized to let us changed the locks and your scenario is what you say it is.

All I have to ask is..have you hugged your locksmith today?
