What makes Luxury Car Key Different?

Aside from being fun to drive, highly attractive, and pricey; these car brands have another common theme. All of these cars require a special high security key. These are the keys that are made specifically by the automobile manufacturer for your individual vehicle. The purpose of having keys with specialty fobs or computerized chips is for the added safety of your vehicle. Yet, when you need to replace or duplicate a key, these specialty keys can become somewhat of a nightmare.

Can't the Dealership Help Me?

If you lose or break one of these keys you have the option of going back to the dealership where you purchased the car to get a replacement. Unfortunately, dealerships are the most expensive and time consuming option for luxury car key replacement. Often, they do not keep every type of key in stock at their location. It is likely that your brand (and model) specific high security key will need to be ordered from the factory. Your new key can take weeks to arrive, and the replacement cost through your dealership can be upwards of a thousand dollars.

What Can a Professional Luxury Car Locksmith Do?

A Professional Locksmith with knowledge of luxury cars will be able to replace or duplicate your high security key on the spot. These locksmiths have the tools, equipment, and knowledge to work comfortably with luxury car brands. The time it takes them to replace your key as well as the price they will charge will be at least 85% less than that of the dealership.

Keep your Keys and Pets Far Away from Each Other!

Most of us are familiar with that awkward situation when we cannot find our keys. This situation is not just inconvenient, it can also be expensive.

Unless it’s that case when the key is “lost” inside your own pocket, your bag or locked inside your house, you will probably have to install a new lock, in order to have an access to your keys again.
This will also guarantee that your house is protected from whoever might have found your lost key, on the long run.

If you want to avoid finding yourself desperately looking for your keys and being unable to find them, here are some useful tips for you:
⦁    Always put the keys in the same place in the house
⦁    Carry the keys in the same pocket
⦁    Tap the pocket before leaving a building, in order to make sure that the keys are there
⦁    Avoid giving the keys to other people, even if it’s just in order to let another person use the bottle opener that is attached to the set of keys (just open the bottle yourself instead)
⦁    Keep your keys away from pets

The first three points are self-explanatory, but the fourth and fifth ones are equally important and deserve more attention that most people might think.

Now that everybody seems to carry a cell phone which has a camera, our security is at constant risk.

Our keys have ‘stamp codes’ carved onto them and a photograph of your keys is all that a professional locksmith (or an experienced criminal) to duplicate them. This is why it’s better to avoid giving your set of keys to other people, especially ones that are not your friends or siblings.

Also, keys often look toys to pets, especially if they have fancy or elaborate attachments on them. Whilst playing, cats and dogs often hide their toys, or even bury them. If you don’t want to get your keys buried in the yard, do your best to keep your set of keys as far as possible from your pets!

Even though none of us want our houses to join the burglary statistics reports, every 15 seconds one

Many people think that knowing their neighbors, having a dog and keeping their doors locked is enough in order to keep a house protected, but the majority of burglary victims will probably disagree.  Here are some additional security measures that you may want to consider: does.
Although some may say that a professional burglar will always find a way, even if that is true, remember; 85% of burglaries are carried out by amateurs, so nearly most of them can still be prevented.

•  Install a security system
• Add additional locks on your doors
• Strengthen your doors and windows
• Landscaping your property 

A good professional security system is probably the best solution that you can have, but if you are worried about the price, at least consider some extra lighting at night and dummy cameras. Deterrence keeps many burglars away, so even cheap dummy cameras can help you to protect your property.
An additional lock installed in your door will make your house twice as hard to get into, but make sure that the locks are not in an arm’s length of any window.

Two thirds of all illegal entries occur from the doors being kicked in. Strengthen your doors and especially their hinges. You should consider replacing regular glass with laminated glass, or at leastadd another layer of regular glass.

Most people pay less attention to the security level of their upstairs windows, but burglars don’t. Ensure that there are no trees that can facilitate access to the upstairs. Placing of thorns inside your fence or hedge is also a good way to protect your home.

If you have a garage in your house, keep in mind that it’s another way to get into your home and make sure that the garage door is closed when you don’t use it. Burglars can easily get universal remote controls that fit many standard garage doors, so better consult with an expert about preventive measures against it.

Unauthorized locksmith - Go Away!

As someone who has been working in this business for years, providing locksmith services in Albuquerque, NM day and night, I would like to warn people who live in other places across the states about unreliable companies, that are supposed to take care of their security.

When you hire a locksmith and he arrives at your home (or wherever it is you need their service) the first thing you must do is ask to see his license. Every reputable locksmith, no matter how large or small the company he works in might be, will have a license to show you. It is not just a good business practice to have a state locksmith license. It is absolutely required by law.

Why hire a company with a license?       

Locksmiths who have a license are running an authorized and reputable business. For the states that require this license, these locksmiths had to sit through an actual exam given by the state. Furthermore, they had to pass their exams showing that they do indeed know the facets of their craft well.

What could happen if they don't have a license?

Locksmith companies that do not have a license are often scams. This is not to say that all unlicensed companies are fraudulent, but how would you know? 

The mere fact that they haven't taken the step to prove themselves as a legitimate business should be enough to dissuade you from hiring them. Around the United States there are states with entire police divisions set up to bust illegal locksmith operations who are really criminals in disguise.

How do you know if the license is real?       

When the locksmith arrives at your home they should do so in a company vehicle. This vehicle should have their license number on it somewhere. Even if their vehicle does show their license number, you should ask to see their paper license. 

Once you have this you can either call the state to verify their business or use one of the many locksmith license registries online (that are free) to verify their company as safe and secure. If they are not a state authorized locksmith company, immediately send them away from your home!Should you have any questions about something I might not have covered in this post, or any rip off occasions you have been a victim of in the past - I will be more than grateful if you mention it in the comments below!

April google's, errrrrrr April Fool's day

Lots of weird stuff has happened to me today, only because I didn't notice what date it is today.

It started with a customer who insisted to have an ignition installed instead of the deadbolt in her front door at home and continued with a man who claimed to be ripped off by his bank and wanted me to unlock the bank's main safe in the name of justice, just in order to take back what truly belongs to him (as if regular calls from people who either try to order a pizza from a locksmith company and those who expect me to agree to break into their former significant others' houses is not enough!).

Then I had to drive to a real (serious) customer's address, who needed a a real damaged ignition to be replaced (for real). But, instead of seeing a normal map on Google Maps, I had to use something that looks like this:

Funny, https://com.google/! Not really. It's quite confusing and it took me a while to realize that it's not my iphone that is showing me something wrong, but it's google itself. It's probably not the easiest thing to deal with for a professional, who depends on Google Maps, such as a truck driver, taxi driver, a pizza man or a mobile locksmith technician.

Last but not least, mow my friend called me and told me that his wife is pregnant and he would like me to be their child's godfather. I will better ask him again about it tomorrow, just to make sure that it was an April fool's hoax. 

The moral of this story is that there is one date that should never be forgotten, which is April 1st. Seriously, I feel like I shouldn't believe anyone today, no matter what people say!
