People usually come to a locksmith with one main goal: fix the problem. But before the call, there are always a few questions floating around too. Is this an emergency or can it wait? Do I need new locks or just a rekey? Can a locksmith really replace a car key without the original? Is a smart lock worth it, or is that just one more thing to troubleshoot later?
