Common Locksmith Scam Tactics
Know what to look for before you call.
🚨 Bait & Switch Pricing
They quote $15–$30 on the phone, then triple the price after arriving. Always ask for the total price including all fees before they start work.
🚨 Unnecessary Drilling
They claim your lock must be drilled when picking would work. Drilling destroys the lock and inflates the bill. Ask them to attempt picking first.
🚨 No Physical Address
Scam operations use fake Google Business listings with no real local address, arriving in unmarked vans. Verify a physical address before you call.
🚨 Cash-Only Demand
Refusing credit cards makes it impossible to dispute charges later. Never pay cash for amounts over $100 without a receipt.
