Finding a local Locksmith

If you've ever locked yourself out of home business or car, you will know what a hassle it can be to get back in.  So who do you call?    What's the best way to pick a reputable locksmith?  Consider researching locksmiths before you acutally need one, the same way you would a plumber, electrician, or other professional.  That works well when you are looking to obtain security quotes and have time on your hand to review different options from different providers.

Knowing who you are going to call when you have a locksmith emergency is really imporant as you are most likely dealing with an emergency, like being locked out of your car or your home you really don't have a lot of free time on your hand to perform thorough research.  Regardless of whether you are locked out of your home or in need to get back into your car while it is running who do you call?  

Let's break down the emergency at hand.  If you are locked out of your car we would suggest calling roadside assitance which most likely if your car is still in warranty would have such services available to you at no charge.  Calling CAA also would be a great option since roadside assitance operators have no hidden agenda and are not going to charge you anything as all services are included in your membership that you are paying for anyways.  Calling your manufcature based providers will also work very well provdiing your car is still under warranty. Most automobile dealers offer roadside asssitance for 5 years and usually at no charge to the customer for emergency services.  Roadside assitance plans often have a list of pre-approved companies to perform services like unlocking cars, jump-starting batteries, changing flat rires, delivering fasoline and towing.   Finding the right number to call is another problems, so we suggest getting those numbers well inadvance of your emergency and putting them in your smartphone so you will be ready in any emergency.  You will usually require your Vin number as well if  you are calling your automobile roadside assitance program so have that information handy.

If you are looking for a Toronto Locksmith on the internet, or through a directory try finding one with a local address.  Some disreputable companies list fake street address to give the impression that they're really local but after checking the facts a lot of so called local locksmith's are using empty parking lots or other business that have nothing to do with locksmithing in those location, if they exist in the first place.  Some legitimate mobile locksmith companies may not provide a real street address in their lsting as clealry they operate a mobile locksmith service and are not available to provide services at a physical location.  If you contact a locksmith who does not list a physcial real address ask them why and satisfiy yourself as to the answer.  

You also should be careful about reaching locksmiths who answer the phone with generic phrases like Locksmith Services" rather than a unique company name.  Asking for the legal corporation name is very important    

 first option is to call someone that may have a spare key.
Hopefully someone in your family has a key and all you have to do is call them to help you.  If a family member or friend is not able to bring you a key, your next move might be to find
