How to Spot a Locksmith Scam

The locksmith industry has a well-documented problem with fraud. Fake locksmiths run call centers, quote $35 on the phone, then show up and charge $300+. Here's how to protect yourself — and how J&M Locksmith is different.

  • Google the Phone Number

    Scam locksmiths use the same phone number across dozens of fake business listings. Search the number before you call — if it shows multiple company names, walk away. J&M Locksmith has one number: (404) 824-3777.

  • Ask for a License Number

    Georgia requires locksmiths to hold a Low Voltage License. If they can't provide one, they're not legal. Our license number is LVU209417 — you can verify it on the Georgia Secretary of State website.

  • Verify a Real Address

    Scam operations list fake addresses or PO boxes. A legitimate locksmith has a verifiable physical location. J&M Locksmith is based at 4920 Roswell Rd #42, Brookhaven, GA 30319 — you can find us on Google Maps.

  • Get a Price Before They Start

    The classic scam: quote a low price on the phone, then triple it once they've started drilling your lock. A real locksmith provides an upfront quote and sticks to it. We quote every job before we touch your lock — the price you hear is the price you pay.

  • Look for a Marked Vehicle

    Legitimate locksmiths arrive in branded vehicles with company logos and contact information. If someone shows up in an unmarked car, that's a red flag. Our yellow-and-black J&M Locksmith vans are hard to miss.

  • They Shouldn't Drill First

    A skilled locksmith can open most residential locks without drilling. If the first thing they reach for is a drill, they likely lack the training for non-destructive entry. Our technicians use professional bypass tools and pick sets — drilling is always a last resort.
