Nothing can be more frustrating than a lock that won’t work or a key stuck in the ignition. Before you call a locksmith, here are 5 tips that could save you some money.

1. Unless you are in an emergency situation, take a few moments to calm yourself down and try the lock again, or look for your keys again. Very often, by the time the locksmith shows up at your home or car the customer solves the problem by themselves — though at that point they already need to pay the service fee. And very often right after a new key is made, the customer finds the old one that they thought was lost. So take a good moment before making that call — it could save you a lot of money.

2. When you get a quote over the phone, clarify what exactly the quote covers. Often, the locksmith will fail to include the service fee, or the cost of upgraded hardware. You could get a quote over the phone for the lowest grade product, and then be pressured to get something better, and more expensive, when the locksmith shows up. Try to get a price guarantee over the phone.

3. If you have a problem with a car lock or ignition, make sure that the locksmith services that you call knows how to work on cars, and your specific model. Especially if you have a luxury car, confirm that the locksmith can deal with the issue before they arrive.

4. When you get new locks installed on your home, make sure to rekey them. Very often there is a master key that will open all the locks of a certain brand or grade, and you don’t want a thief just unlocking your doors.

5. If the locksmith services says something that does not sound right, don’t believe him! If it doesn’t pass the smell test, and he’s trying to sell you something that you don’t need, then don’t be pressure to buy!
