When you are locked out, you are tired, stressed and searching on a phone that may be low on battery. That is the worst time to judge which locksmith to trust. Choosing one in advance is easier.

Vet the company while you are calm

Look up the business, check the license number with the California BSIS, read reviews and call to ask how they quote. Then save the number in your phone under something easy, such as 'Locksmith'.

A nearby locksmith can help sooner

A locksmith based in your area may be able to reach you more quickly than one dispatched from across the county, though arrival times always depend on traffic and other calls. Ask for an honest estimate.

Use the same locksmith for upgrades

Once you have found someone you trust, use them for rekeying, new deadbolts or a spare key. They will get to know your locks, which makes future calls simpler.

Share the number

Give the number to family members and anyone who house-sits for you. Ours is 562-340-4631.
