Repairing and Protecting Locks, Keys and Safes
Two reasons why people who get locked out of their homes at night should call emergency locksmiths

Here are two reasons why any person who gets locked out of their home at night should call a 24-hour emergency locksmith, rather than one who operates during business hours.
It could save them money and stress
Generally speaking, the services provided by emergency locksmiths who are on call 24 hours a day are costlier than the services of a standard locksmith. Because of this, a budget-conscious person who finds themselves locked out of their home after dark might be tempted to wait until the next day to call a locksmith, so they can save money. However, using an emergency locksmith's services in this situation could potentially save a person money, as well as lots of stress.
If for example, the person doesn't have a family or friend in the area whose home they could stay in for the night, they might have to book a hotel at the last minute. This could cost considerably more than hiring an emergency locksmith to gain access to their own home. Even if the person is able to stay at a friend or family member's home, they may need to drive or take public transport to this other location, and then travel back to their home the next day, which would cost them money in the form of fuel or transportation fees. Furthermore, this approach would delay the process of getting back into their own home and thus prolong this stressful experience.
It could help them to access any pets or essential items they need that are in their home much faster
If a person in this situation has pets in their home, or essential items (such as their wallet, smartphone or important medication), it would be sensible for them to use an emergency locksmith's services, so they could get into their home as soon as possible. If they were to wait until the morning for a standard locksmith, this might result in them being unable to, for example, take the next dose of their medication, check that their pet is safe, or access their important work emails on their smartphone.
In these circumstances, the advantages of gaining quick access to their home would far outweigh the added costs of hiring an emergency locksmith. If a person were to delay accessing their home by waiting to hire a standard locksmith the following day, they could put their health at risk as a result of missing a medication dose, put their pet in danger, or experience issues at work as a result of not responding to an important email.

Hi, my name is Olive, and when I was a kid, my dad was a safe manufacturer. I used to love being in his welding shop or accompanying him to jobs to make locks onsite. When I grew up, I did not follow in his footsteps, but I owned a restaurant, and I always thought of my then late father when I put cash into the safe at the end of the night. Through years of being a business owner – sometimes in a not very safe neighbourhood – I learned the importance of locks. I also learned how they can break, how to repair them and how to ensure they in working order. To honor my dad, I wanted to make a blog about locks and safes. Whether you are a business owner, a homeowner or someone curious about becoming a locksmith, I hope you enjoy reading these posts!
