Surveys show that Australians put a great value on their sense of security and are equally upset if they feel their well-being is at risk. This is one of the reasons knowing Diamond Locksmiths are Master Locksmith accredited, is vital.
Unfortunately, not everyone understands what is required before a Locksmith can legally use the title Master Locksmith or why it is essential. The designation of ‘Locksmith’ is not a protected title in Australia. So, anyone can take out an ad and call themselves a Locksmith with no training, apprenticeship, or credentials.
These circumstances make it easy for scam artists to take advantage of uninformed potential customers. Usually, they demand a credit card upfront and do not complete the task they were hired to do. Often, customers will find their locks in worse condition than when the Locksmith arrived and receive bogus credit card charges as well.
The best way to avoid these scams is to be sure you work with a Master Locksmith. Always be certain to look for the Master Locksmith Association triangle emblem when searching for help with your locks. The MLA strictly enforces its use, as only authorised association members can display the logo.
Several benefits come with hiring a Master Locksmith, including:
- Experience and Knowhow – When you contact a Master Locksmith, you can rest assured that the person who arrives to assist you has been extensively trained and knows what to do so your problem is fixed. You can trust their skills, and you will not need to settle for anything less than a complete resolution of the issue.
- A Variety of Services – Master Locksmiths can assist customers in several ways. Whether you need repairs, installation, maintenance, or security systems, you can count on a Master Locksmith to have the abilities and equipment to resolve the problem. Additionally, most Master Locksmiths have 24/7 emergency locksmith availability.
- Verified by Police – Master Locksmiths are checked by police and hold a security license. You can feel confident allowing them into your home or place of business.
- Fully Insured – In Australia, members of the Master Locksmith Association must carry 20 million dollars of insurance.
- Registered Businesses – Master Locksmiths are required to be registered businesses. This means you do not need to worry about your locksmith being a part of a fly-by-night company intent on taking your money and leaving your problem worse than when they arrived.
- Master Locksmith Association Members Must Have Approved Qualifications – This protects customers by ensuring a trusted expert is taking care of their issues. It also means that by contacting an association member, you can count on a competent authority to arrive at your door whenever you need help.
- Quality Workmanship You Can Count on – The safety of your family, employees, and property is paramount. So, you can depend on a Master Locksmith to provide the services you need efficiently and effectively.
