Lock Picking and the Benefits of Non-destructive Entry
Lock picking is an art most credible locksmiths should have.
When choosing a locksmith always make sure they offer a non-destructive service and will try to pick the lock open first before reaching for the drill and causing untold damage!
Always Try Picking First!
Lock picking may not always be viable option in every scenario, for instance if the lock is already broken but if its in good working order there is no reason for a genuine locksmith not to try.
Although you may have lost your keys most people keep a spare set tucked away at home, so if their attempt at picking is successful it could save you a lot of money as no need to replace the existing locks.
However, if for example a handbag was stolen and there was information tie-ing the keys to a specific address then obviously we would suggest changing the locks.
