Brighton Locksmiths in Fear of Frauds

Locksmithing is a traditional trade, and in most countries requires completion of an apprenticeship. Locksmiths may be money-making, portable, recognized, or investigational e.g. forensic. They may study in one aspect of the skill, such as an automotive lock specialist, a master key system specialist or a safe technician. Many also act as security consultants, but not all security consultants have the skills and knowledge of a locksmith.

A locksmith called Tom Rubenoff writes on HubPages.com, Rubenhoff is American but many situations that happen to him would happen to a locksmith in Brighton. Rubenoff talks to us about how not all acclaimed locksmiths are genuine.

Cons of the Trade

“A person who is locked out after hours can expect to pay one of these sharks several hundred dollars to get them back in, and may end up with ruined hardware and a damaged door besides. Consumers need to be careful whom they hire. The police may have someone to recommend. Otherwise a neighbourhood locksmith from a good neighbourhood might be a wise choice. Unfortunately when you are locked out you are in many ways at the mercy of fate and the locksmith.” Quotes Rubenhoff.

A locksmith might be scandalous if:

1. Their company vehicle is a pink Cadillac
2. They arrive dressed in formal attire
3. Their primary tool for gaining entry is a large pair of pliers

However there are funny stories of locksmiths getting stuck in sticky situations –

“Divorce lockouts were a challenge. The soon-to-be ex-wife would call and say she was locked out, so I would go get her in. Then, of course, she would have me change the locks. Then the husband would call with the same request, but I refused to work both sides like that. I referred him to a competitor.”
