Before you call anyone, here's exactly what to check for — response time, licensing, insurance, pricing transparency, and warranty. We'll show you how we stack up against every point.

🔑 5 Things That Actually Matter When Hiring a Locksmith

Most locksmith listings look the same. Here's what separates a reliable company from a risky one — and how we score on each.

What to CheckWhy It MattersEasyWay Locksmith
Response TimeA 45-minute wait when you're locked out isn't "emergency service".15-20 min average
Verified ReviewsLook for 300+ reviews, not just a high average.5.0★, 500+ verified Google reviews
Licensing (CA BSIS)Unlicensed locksmiths can legally drill your lock and there's no recourse if something goes wrong.Licensed, LIC# LCO 7615
InsuranceIf a tech damages your door or car, an uninsured company won't cover it.Fully bonded & insured
Pricing TransparencyAsk for a quote before the tech arrives — "we'll figure it out on site" is a red flag.Upfront pricing, no hidden fees

Tip: Before you book anyone, ask for their license number and look it up on the California BSIS license search yourself. It takes 30 seconds and instantly rules out unlicensed operators.
