the tips 

City Locksmiths are available 24/7 providing day and night emergency locksmith services. Naturally a significant part of our business is to responding to emergency locksmith situations, people locked out of their cars or their homes, or when they have experienced a home or business intrusion. 

 

City Locksmiths are there for you if and when you need help in an emergency, but we would rather assist prevention of problems than respond to them after they have already happened. So to help you along here are 3 key tips on how you can avoid having to call that emergency locksmith situation. 

 

1.) have an experienced locksmith install your locks in the first place - avoid that diy disaster 

 

We regularly receive calls from customers who have attempted to install a new lock or keyless entry system, but find that they don’t have the right tools, or that they simply cannot get the lock to work properly for one reason or another. The result?... a door hanging open, no working lock, and a pile of spare parts littered on the floor as the sun is going down. We are (of course) glad to help, but more often than not when we arrive damage has been done to the door or equipment and the project becomes more difficult and costly than it would have been otherwise. DIY lock fitting often costs more than getting in the professionals. 

 

2.) prevent home, business, and vehicle intrusions before they happen. 

 

Of course we all have the tendency to “shut the barn door after the horse has bolted.” It’s only natural for people to upgrade their locks and add layerupon layer of protection after a break-in. At City Locksmiths, Belfast we recommend that you request a review of your home security situation and install home security locks that will protect your family and your belongings before there is an intrusion, not after. At City Locksmiths we want to work with you to prevent emergencies rather than respond to them if it is at all possible. Request a review of your home security here. 

 

3.) Give a spare key to family members and friends. 

 

A very simple solution to an age old problem. If you have keyed locks, be sure to have duplicate keys made and give them to trusted friends or family members you can call upon in the event of a lock out. Think if there is anyone within walking distance that you could trust. 

 

City Locksmiths Belfast provide an onsite key cutting service so there is no need to take a big bunch of keys to a retail outlet and then let them out of your sight..
