A locally owned locksmith in Wilmington shares what to ask before any locksmith starts work, and confirms lockout coverage for homes, cars, and businesses during posted hours.
Wilmington, DE October 29, 2026 –(PR.com)– Kwikey Locksmith, a locally owned mobile locksmith at 211 Maryland Ave. in Wilmington, today shared a short checklist to help residents and business owners avoid locksmith scams when they are locked out of a home, car, or business.
Being locked out is rarely planned, and a customer in a hurry is easy to rush. Kwikey Locksmith sends a mobile technician to the customer, gets them back inside, and tests the lock before leaving.
“When someone is locked out, they want a real person who shows up, gets them back inside without damage, and makes sure the lock works before we leave. We have done that in Wilmington since 2025, and we wanted our neighbors across New Castle County to know exactly what they can count on from us,” said the Owner of Kwikey Locksmith.
Four things to check before any locksmith starts work
First, ask for the business name and confirm it matches a real local address before the technician begins. Second, ask the technician for identification, and check that the vehicle matches the business name. Third, ask for an explanation of the work before it starts, including why a lock needs to be drilled or replaced instead of opened without damage. Fourth, be cautious if the technician will not explain the job, or adds work after it has begun.

Tips from the shop
If you are locked out, stay with the car or door and call from a safe spot rather than forcing a lock. If a key breaks in a lock, do not use tweezers, superglue, or a second key on it, because that can push the piece deeper.
