Whether you’ve locked your keys in the car in Syokimau, lost your house keys in Kilimani, or need a lock change in Eldoret—a locksmith isn’t just a fundi, they’re your access lifeline. But not every locksmith is trained, verified, or ready for your situation.
Here are five things to check before you book a locksmith in Kenya:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
You’re trusting someone with your car, home, or business. That means you need a verified pro—not just a roadside flyer or WhatsApp contact.
What to look for:
- ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
- ✅Ratings and reviews from real clients
- ✅Clear service descriptions (auto lockouts, key duplication, lock replacement, safe access)
- ✅Photos of past work or tools
💡 On Balozy, every locksmith is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧰 2. Do They Have the Right Tools and Techniques?
Locksmithing isn’t guesswork. A good pro should have specialized tools for cars, safes, and modern locks—not just a screwdriver and hope.
Ask before booking:
- ✅Do you use key programming tools or lock-picking kits?
- ✅Can you handle smart locks, biometric systems, or car transponders?
- ✅Do you offer key cutting or duplication on-site?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?
Emergencies need speed. Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster response and better follow-up.
Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find locksmiths in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.
💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Professionally?
You want someone who confirms your booking, explains the issue, and gives a fair quote—not someone who improvises or disappears.
Look for:
- ✅Fast response time on the app
- ✅Transparent pricing and service scope
- ✅Respectful, professional tone
🛠️ 5. Do They Offer Emergency Support and Aftercare?
Lock issues don’t wait. A verified locksmith should offer 24/7 support, backup keys, and follow-up services.
Ask:
- ✅Do you offer emergency callouts or night support?
- ✅Can you provide spare keys or lock upgrades?
- ✅Do you offer warranties or rekeying services?
