If you’re seeking a locksmith for your business in Clermont, and searched Google for a commercial locksmith in Clermont, you may be overwhelmed by the number of results. So, how do you go about figuring out which locksmith you should choose for your business? After all, your business is probably your most important asset, and you can entrust your business’s security to any random locksmith off the internet. We’ll write a brief guide below for how to choose a great commercial locksmith in Clermont, FL.

First, your best way to try to get a great commercial locksmith is to ask around your neighborhood, family, or friends, as these locksmiths will be professionals they’ve used personally, so you can save a lot of vetting time. If that’s not an option, you can ask on platforms such as Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and more. After exhausting those options, you probably must turn to Google and search the web.

Once you start searching the web, it gets hard. Because there are countless locksmiths running ads in Clermont, but running ads doesn’t mean they’re any good. Your best place to start is Google maps and then read the reviews, or local websites of truly local locksmiths. But, as you probably know, reviews can be fake. So, to narrow down the list look at picture reviews that show actual work done, confirm that the company has a local business license, confirm that they have insurance and that the locksmiths come in a marked car and actually work for this company, so you know there’s someone to talk to if you need a job fixed later.

Whenever possible, get a written quote before the work is done so there aren’t any surprises. Even family and friends can accidentally refer you to someone ill equipped to do the job you need done. Even if referred by family or friends, ensure that the locksmith you hire has experience doing the type of work you need done and has insurance.
