Look for a real local business
A consistent business name, a local phone number and reviews that describe actual jobs are good signs.
Ask for the price before work begins
You should hear a price range on the phone and a firm price on site before any work starts.
Be wary of 'drill first'
Most locks can be opened without drilling. Drilling should be explained and agreed, not the opening move.
Expect to prove ownership
A professional asks for ID before opening a home or car. That question protects you.
