How to Avoid Locksmith Scams
Locksmith scams are common, especially during a stressful lockout — a dishonest "locksmith" quotes a tiny price on the phone, then demands far more once they've drilled your lock. A few quick signs to watch for:
Top warning signs
- Won't give a business name or license number
- A suspiciously low quote that jumps on arrival
- Shows up unmarked or under a different name
- Pressure to drill or replace a working lock
- Cash-only, with no receipt
