Avoiding Locksmith Scams in Dallas
- Always get a price quote BEFORE the technician begins work
- Be wary of unusually low "$15 service call" advertised prices — these often hide large hidden fees
- Ask for the technician's license number before they start (TX TACLA required)
- Legitimate locksmiths will not drill your lock unless all other options fail
- If you are pressured to pay or the price changes after arrival, refuse and call another locksmith
- A reputable locksmith always verifies your identity before opening a lock that isn't yours
TX TACLA License: All locksmiths in Texas are required to hold a TACLA (Texas Department of Public Safety) license. Golden's Casa Linda Keys is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Always ask to see credentials before allowing entry work.
