Testimonials
“Its a no-brainer, if I was a working locksmith, I would become a member without a doubt…” - Greg Mango, Editor, The National Locksmith
It is that simple, the 1-800-UNLOCKS® is unique since it directs calls from the consumer directly to their local locksmith that have already been vetted and for the most part are known among each other. In a collective manner, the locksmiths participating in the 1-800-UNLOCKS® system can ensure the consumer is not victimized. Locksmiths own their territory and the bigger the overall network grows the better the organic web search results become! In the face of real scams that are going on, 1-800-UNLOCKS® is the locksmiths secret-weapon to create their own threaded cooperative network to combat these scams and recapture the call volume that has been lost to this nationwide dilemma. - Tom Lynch, founder SOPL
I found this service very helpful. Having a large, easy to remember number on my van made me more visible and the marketing materials they provided helped me to create a new business plan, apply for a loan and much more. The call centers that deceive locksmith customers are too common and can give companies like 1-800-UNLOCKS® a bad rep but I, like Tom, know them to be a legitimate business that is designed to increase locksmith’s service calls, sales and profiles. - James Hannah, Locksmith Business Owner
