CONSUMER TIPS TO AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM OF FRAUDULENT LOCKSMITHS:
   
~Get an ALL INCLUSIVE PRICE!!!!  American Key & Safe was the 1st valley locksmith to offer it's customer's the ALL INCLUSIVE price! This means the price we quote you over the phone is the price you'll pay for that job!!!  Make sure you aren't quoted a price "plus labor" or "plus a service
call".

~Be prepared; Find a local reputable locksmith shop now and program their number into your cell phone. Feel free to come visit our Mesa shop location and get to know our friendly and knowledgable staff, after all you wouldn't want a complete stranger accessing your property!

~Call local numbers, toll free can mean extra fees! Majority of the fraudulent locksmiths use 800 or 866 numbers in their  large display ads, even placing a different toll free number in  each full page ad, but they all ring into the same call center,  most likey out of state!

~Ask them where their shop is located; When calling for quotes, ask for their shop address and operating hours. Look up their address on the internet or drive by that address  if you have the time before the work you need completed has  to be done. IF they say they don't have a shop, be wary!!!

~Never sign a blank invoice; Also, never pay for the job before it's completed! If you are ordering parts, paying half up  front is normal business practice, but never pay for labor charges before they're completed.

~Be prepared to prove who you are; They may ask you to prove you have legal rights to gain access to the lock they are opening for you, such as a utility bill with your name and address of the property they're giving you access to.
 
~Ask them to prove who they are; Ask to see a business card or invoice with their company name printed on it. ALL  American Key & Safe employees proudly wear black company shirts with our logo embroidered on the front. They also have invoices with our info clearly printed on the top.

~Confidentiality can Safe Guard YOUR Privacy; We offer service from an unmarked van, upon request. We have found that several of our customers prefer to keep their private life private. When purchasing a new safe or having your home  rekeyed, it's often better to keep it from the prying eyes of nosey neighbors or worse, a less than trust worthly individual that may have their interests peaked if they were to know you had a new safe installed to protect your valuables or you are now living without your roomate or spouse.
