Being locked out of your home or vehicle is more than frustrating, so naturally, you want a locksmith to reach you as quickly as possible.
Know that a reputable locksmith is always dedicated to assisting you as quickly as possible, but there are certain factors that can affect response times.
Overall, you generally don’t need to wait longer than 20 minutes for a locksmith to reach you. If they are really close by, you probably won’t need to wait longer than 10 minutes.
However, life happens, which can slow down a locksmith’s response time. This includes:
- Traffic
- Road accidents
- Poor weather
- Construction and detours
If a locksmith is still busy on another job, this can also affect how quickly they can reach you.
In terms of how long it will take to get you back into your vehicle or home, that’s the easier part. It usually takes around 10 minutes for a professional locksmith to unlock a door.
To reduce your locksmith waiting time, there are a few things you can do. The first is to have a reputable locksmith’s contact number on hand. Spend some time researching trustworthy locksmiths in your area so that you aren’t wasting time searching for one in an urgent situation. Doing research beforehand also ensures you are always dealing with a legitimate locksmith – locksmith scams are a reality.
The second thing you can do is to contact a locksmith in your immediate area. The closer the locksmith, the less time you potentially have to wait for assistance.
Over and above this, all you can do is be patient and know that help will arrive as soon as possible.
