Sometimes you don’t think about a problem until you come face to face with it, and at the most inopportune moment. Lost keys or a suddenly broken front door lock are just such problems. What to do? If you suddenly do not have duplicate keys within close reach of trusted friends or neighbors, then the door needs to be opened. Don’t even think about any method of opening “from the Internet” or attempts to get into the apartment through the balcony.

Paid locksmith or budget one?

A more reasonable solution is to contact those who open doors on duty. This is either Emergency Locksmiths from “paid” services, or a budget one. Preference should be given to a commercial emergency services specialist, even if you initially think that a locksmith will open the door faster and cheaper.

Firstly, specialists of specialized services arrive at the call address at any time of the day, including on weekends and holidays, and the average time of arrival of the team at the site is only 20 minutes. It is unlikely that a budgetary locksmith, even if he is working today, will come to you faster.

Secondly, without belittling the professionalism of ordinary locksmiths, a qualified door locksmith will return access to the apartment without brute force. He will not damage the door, the decorative part of the door leaf and fittings, and will also try to preserve the working parts of the lock so that you do not spend money on repairs beyond what is necessary.

Finally, the average locksmith simply cannot open most modern locking devices that are protected from burglary, knocking out, drilling and other aggressive methods. The commercial locksmith, using a set of precision equipment and special techniques, will open most locks without damage within 10-15 minutes.
