Brooklyn is internationally known for being a hotspot for creatives, young professionals and budding families. Whether you’re just moving into your first ever Brooklyn apartment, or a seasoned professional reviewing your business’ security, a good locksmith is essential to maintaining a safe and happy environment in your own little corner of our borough.
Emergency locksmith services – what they are, what they cover, and why you’ll definitely need them
Life is full of unplanned moments, especially in a buzzing city where things are always happening. But when it comes to the safety of our homes and businesses, we don’t want those unplanned moments to overstay their welcome.
If your needs are time-sensitive, you’ll go to a locksmith for emergency services. Our most common emergency services include lockouts, urgent lock replacements (or rekeying, which is a similar service), and lock repair.
Often, the reason you’ll need a lock replacement is a simple mistake – you’ve left your key indoors, or turned it too hard in the lock, causing it to snap. Sometimes, the reasons for an emergency call are more severe, for example, if you’ve suffered a break-in or are concerned that someone you do not want in your house has gained access to a key you’ve lost or misplaced.
We understand that the reasons behind emergency services can be sensitive. Our company endeavors to reach you as fast as possible and provide you with the best possible service to minimize any unnecessary stress.
Most importantly, we are available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. We understand that Brooklyn residents and business owners are always busy and bustling – so accidents could happen at any time. No matter what hour of the day it is, we’ll be able to reach you – often within an hour.
Choosing a locksmith for emergency lock services in Brooklyn
Brooklyn has no shortage of locksmiths. But not all of them are worthy of your time, your money, or your trust. Here are some things to consider before picking a locksmith:
- The first sign of an untrustworthy locksmith is being unregistered. Locksmithing is a regulated industry in New York City for good reason – always ask your locksmith for their license number. Ideally, they will also be insured.
- First and foremost, your locksmith needs to operate in your area of Brooklyn. But availability goes further than that – for emergency services, it’s essential to have a locksmith who is responsive to messages and calls at all hours of the day, including on weekends.
- Response Times. You shouldn’t expect to be left waiting for your service for hours on end. Brooklyn is a large borough and no stranger to traffic, and you might also have a longer waiting time if you’re calling extremely late at night. But the wait certainly shouldn’t exceed two hours at most. Your locksmith should be able to provide a reasonable estimated arrival time and stick to it.
- As with any locksmith service, an emergency locksmith should have excellent knowledge of all manners of locks used in any setting, and also know your area well.
