Pentland Locksmiths in Livinston EH54 8JA

Dear Reader,

Pentland Locksmiths in Livingston

Its been a few months since we last blogged and this is simply because our work has increased month after month following our strategy to offer new services to our customer in Livingston, West Lothian. Even with increased competition and changes to our Google listings our work has increased significantly. Following a statistical review off our jobs over the last 3 months it appears that Customer Recomendations and Regular Customers equate to nearly 46% of all the work we do in West Lothian.

This is a milestone in our business as it takes many years to build up a customer base that can support a locksmith business in any area. We have also managed to build up good relations with many large manufacturing companies in Livingston which has led to a continuous level of work.

Many new start locksmiths are fooled into thinking they will get a lot of work through 'word of mouth' but the sad reality is that it takes years to build up a client base that has confidence in the services you offer.

This is why so many fail in the first year and go out of business.

The Summer Nights

We're now into the summer season and probably the best time of year to do locksmith work. Light nights make our job so much easier, especially when it comes to doing lock entries for our customers who have locked themselves out. But even in the summer our customers need to keep vigilant from opportunist thieves who steal from garages that are left open during the daytime.

New build estates are specifically targetted because the wealth thats available and it becomes easy pickings for gangs who target specific areas of West Lothian. So our message to our customers is to remain vigilant when cleaning out the Garage or cleaning the car because thieves will steal your belongings and will be off with your pride and joy if you leave the keys in the ignition.

And don't leave your keys in your garage lock!

Garden Security

Its also worth noting that many opportunist break-ins and thefts are comitted by using everyday items left lying arond in gardens. Thieves will use spades and other similar items to force open doors and windows in your property. So make sure you lock all your tools away in a secure shed, garage or out-building.

You can also take simple security measures to secure your external property and its hardware. There is no point having a nice lawn if you don't have a lawnmower to cut it, because some cretin has nicked it from your un-locked shed or garage.

Security Gates

If you think your outbuildings are not secure enough or you have no security gate leading to your garden then maybe its time to get a Free No Obligation quote for a custom made security gate.

Price Checkers

Daily calls for quotes is part and parcel of having a successful business as every many and his dog wants to know what you charge. Our pricing is no big secret as we stand by the ethos of the Institute of Certified Locksmiths (ICL) to give our customers excellent quality of service and at an affordable price. We get very few complaints from our customers about pricing because the price quoted at the time is the same when the jobs complete, We do not give false or misleading prices, and we do not sell ourselves short by quoting a rediculously low prices. Customers see right through the locksmiths who do jobs on the cheap because most customers know if someone is quoting a low price for a job, then its usually because they are so desperate for work they will do it for practically nothing.

So you want to know how to get the right locksmith and at the right price?

Soon we will be publishing a new page on our website that gives a detailed guideline on how to select the right locksmith for a job and also the price range that most honest independent locksmiths operate.
