🚨 TWO ROGUE 49ER LOCKSMITHS EXPOSED 🚨
We’ve made this video because, unfortunately, there are people operating in the locksmith industry who are taking advantage of customers when they’re at their most vulnerable.
❌ Advertising unrealistically cheap call-out prices
❌ Quoting one price on the phone, then demanding considerably more on site
❌ Drilling locks that could potentially have been opened without damage
❌ Fitting cheap, poor-quality locks at inflated prices
❌ Using scare tactics and pressure to get customers to pay
In this video, we wanted to show you what to look out for, the questions you should ask, and how a professional locksmith should operate.
🔐 At Lancashire Locks, we believe customers deserve transparency.
Before we start work, we explain what needs doing, discuss the options available and make the costs clear. Wherever possible, we always look for the least destructive method of gaining entry first.
Unfortunately, a genuine emergency can make it easy for someone to feel pressured into agreeing to work they don’t fully understand.
Our biggest advice: if something doesn’t feel right, STOP and ask questions.
📹 Watch the full video and please SHARE it — it might prevent a friend, family member or vulnerable neighbour from being taken advantage of.
