Taken from a Locksmith group, another unsuspecting homeowner falling for the bait and switch scam that has been in the news recently.
If your being quoted low prices that start in usually £39/£49 these are almost certainly the organised fake businesses that are paying huge sums in advertising and even a fake site where they will show you their cylinders at much higher costs.
In essence, a genuine locksmith will not usually charge a call out, with these bogus locksmith companies the cost they give you IS ONLY their call out.
The end result is usually alot of damage and a massive bill.
Don't fall for it, right around LOCAL locksmiths, not automatically the ones that appear at the top of the search (sponsored ads) as that is also an indicator.
