Enter Your Home

• Any contractor or technician that is going to be
  entering your home poses a potential security
  threat, although naturally, the majority are
  reputable and responsible, and having them work
  in your home, couldnt be safer.
• If youve got a problem with your high security
  safe most commonly, folks need help getting
  into it and you need to call a safe
  installation company in your area to arrange for
  a technician to visit you, here are 10 questions
  you can ask to help you decide whether the
  company or the technician, seem trustworthy and
  capable of assisting you, professionally

• 1.Will your company be carrying out the work, or
  do you use sub-contractors, for which I will need
  to pay an additional fee?
• 2.Can you provide me with evidence of your skills
  and specialized training within your field of
  work, so that I can be sure youre capable of
  completing the work to a high enough standard?
  Ideally, seeing some current client references
  would be helpful.
• 3.To get into my safe, will your technicians need
  to drill into it, or do they have the skills and
  competency to use advanced diagnostic procedures,
  combination lock manipulation and other
  non-invasive/destructive techniques?
• 4.Are your technicians licensed, bonded and
  insured?

• 5.How many years of experience do you have
  opening and repairing the type of safe that Im
  locked out of?
• 6.Are your rates flat, or do you operate on an
  open-ended hourly rate for safe openings?
• 7.Do your technicians carry locks, parts and
  supplies with them that enable them to return my
  safe to its full function and integrity?
• 8.Even if my safe has been damaged by a burglar
  or by someone trying to get into it with little
  knowledge about safes, will your technician be
  able to open it with minimal damage?

• 9.Will you be able to finish the job and return
  my safe to useful service in one visit?
• 10.Do you provide guarantees for the results of
  your work as well as your workmanship?

• Anyone coming into your home has the potential to
  cause harm to you or your belongings, but when it
  comes to hiring a security expert, it can be easy
  to assume that they have your security interests
  at heart, and will be trustworthy, however, that
  may not always be the case. Because they will be
  dealing with your safe and the storage of
  valuable items, you need to know that you can
  trust them, and by asking the questions above,
  you can give yourself a little more peace of mind
  when you hire a safe technician.
