Can A Thief Use A Locksmith To Get Into My Home?

1. Can A Thief Use A Locksmith To Get Into My Home? When you own a home, a local locksmith can be a great way to get inside when you're locked out. Given this possibility, you might naturally wonder if a locksmith could also help a thief gain access. At Nearby Locksmiths, we take action to prevent this from happening. If you call to request our local locksmith services, how do we make sure you're who you say you are? Our team is trained in identity and address verification. When one of our locksmiths gets to your home, they immediately ask for proof of residence. It must include your name and address; ideally, it would also have a photo. The driver's licence is the most popular form of ID because customers usually have it on them. Once we see the identification,

If you get locked out of the house without your wallet, you might not have ID handy. In this case, we may be able to use an official piece of mail with your name and address. As a local locksmith, we encounter many customers who don't have any identifying documents. This is a common occurrence when people lock their keys inside when they run to the mailbox or go out to do yard work. When this happens to you, our team is well-prepared. If you're close to your neighbours, we can ask them to verify that you live in the home in question. We may also ask them to confirm or deny information from you: your status as an owner or renter, for example, or the number of years you've lived in the home. If the verification is successful, we'll unlock the door. At that point, you must show a form of photo identification as a final security check. If you don't know your neighbours, another option is to call a nearby family member. Sometimes, they have bills, letters, or other forms of identification that can connect you to the home. Again, you can expect the locksmith to request another form of ID once the house is open. Your safety is of paramount importance to our team at Nearby Locksmiths; our security measures ensure that a thief cannot pose as you to enter your house.
