When you request a CLASS locksmith to come to your home or premises or site (service call), the only person you usually see is the locksmith – although there is a whole team involved in making that service call happen.
The quality of the service depends on three things:
- The locksmith’s knowledge, skill, training and qualifications.
- The “team of people” behind the scenes such as telephone operators, service coordinators, locksmith specialists, training specialists, spare parts and stock control personnel, clerks and administrators.
- Our investment in workshops, equipment, vehicles, tools, key blanks, locks and replacement parts.
A few things to keep in mind when you have a query about the service costs:
