In the current modern era there has been a remarkable improvement in the security systems and measures all over the world. All of this has been done with an intention to protect the users from being the victims of any crimes like theft and robbery. But what we don’t know is that these protections can sometimes lead a criminal to our house.

These days the most common sources of finding a locksmith when a person finds himself in a situation where he is either locked out of his car or his home or work place, the white pages, the yellow pages, and of course, the countless number of search engines and directories on the internet. But what we don’t know is that most internet portals or printed directories do not seem to care that the addresses the phony locksmiths have printed in those directories or given online in their directories are not a locksmith storefront location at all. These addresses appear to be valid in the search engine maps, and contribute to the search provider’s goal to be the most valuable provider of “relevant content”. But they are clearly aiding and abetting criminal organizations that have no valid trade name registration for the listing and no locksmith storefront location. It can be really difficult to contact one of these “relevant content” providers to try and have your address claimed back from a phony locksmith company.

With so many fake locksmith companies in Hamilton using so many fake addresses, many users of a search engine are highly likely to become a victim of one of the thousands of phony locksmith companies because they have purposely placed themselves with a phony address in any area they choose, without regard for our laws or the safety of the citizens that may live at those addresses. There is every chance that someone who is not aware of this problem will become a victim of a phony locksmith if they are locked out and they search online or browse a printed directory for a local locksmith.

So what are the keys if hiring a reputable locksmith?

· In emergency situations always call family members or friends for recommendations.
· If you call a company and they answer the phone with a generic phrase like “locksmith services” rather than a specific company name, beware. Ask for the legal name of the business. If the person refuses call another locksmith.
· Inquire about any sort of additional fees before you agree to let the locksmith perform the work. Sometimes companies may charge extra for responding to a call in the middle of the night. Also ask if there is any kind of additional charges for mileage or a minimum fee for a service call.
· If the price the locksmith provides when he arrives doesn’t match with the estimate you were given on the phone do not allow the work to be done.
· Never sign a blank form authorizing work.
