Some people are surprised when a locksmith asks for ID during a lockout. It's exactly what you want.
What they may ask for
- For a home: a photo ID with the address, or mail, a lease or utility bill.
- For a car: registration or title plus a photo ID. For a new key, the VIN.
- For a business: proof you're authorized to access the premises.
Why it matters
A locksmith who opens any door for anyone is a security risk to everyone, including you. Checking ownership protects your home the next time someone else calls.
What if my ID is locked inside?
That's common. The locksmith can open the door and then verify with the ID inside, often while you're there with them.
