  We have designed marketing strategies that will not only be more economical, but as effective as anything available to us within our industry.

Your very own proprietary service area
 
We have meticulously gone over 40,000 potential locksmiths nationally and narrowed it down to slightly less than 10,000.  We look at years established, licensing, associations with any local, regional, or national associations, complaints from The Better Business Bureau, number of qualified technicians, even gross sales. Once an applicant is qualified, his or her custom service area is given a proprietary status, keeping other locksmith companies from operating the1-800-UNLOCKS® program within the boundaries of any qualified service providers areas.  This will help in keeping the program and its benefits from the provider's competition, as well as making it impossible for anyone in your immediate area to profit from your advertising and marketing efforts. The best thing about the marketing efforts of the service provider and 1-800-UNLOCKS®  marketing efforts in close proximity of more than one locksmith in surrounding areas is saturating the combined areas with the number which will make it easier to soon become a household number to remember.

 Built by Locksmiths, for Locksmiths!

From the President of 1-800-UNLOCKS® to the Business Development Department, we have  a combined 100 plus years experience in this industry.  There are some better in other fields than others such as safes, transponder related work, commercial and architectural hardware applications, etc but we share the same passion.  That passion is to create a "benchmark" of quality, ethical, business minded professionals to service the community. Our sole intention of bringing back the integrity of this profession that is seeming to lose its ground with more than usual spotlights on the shady side of non-locksmiths participating in our profession. You can check out our blog or even research some of our articles in the Locksmith Ledger, The National Locksmith, Independent Locksmith journal, and Keynotes. We were highlighted in The National Locksmiths "Movers and Shakers of The Industry" and as Greg Mango, Editor of The National Locksmith, said in his April, 2004 Mango's Message, "1-800-UNLOCKS® is a no brainer for those competing for automotive work, or all aspects of locksmith needs".  Even though we agree 100% with Greg, our jobs include more of the high end automotive calls, as well as lockouts, and recently with the retail accounts who use our services perform such work as installing panic devices, Detex Alarms, Safe servicing and combo changes, and many other non-automobile related jobs.  This is the reason that 1-800-UNLOCKS® has stepped back from its usual applicants and prefer full service locksmiths to cover all facets of the trade.
