Many locksmiths operating in your vicinity may not be truly local locksmiths. That 1-800 phone number you found through your Google search likely connects you to a national dispatching service, which then sends a locksmith to your location. While this might seem like a convenient solution to your problem, it can leave you susceptible to dishonest contractors who may raise fees unexpectedly or charge you for unnecessary tasks. Since the service is not local, obtaining satisfaction after such a negative experience is unlikely.
