Essentially, a locksmith handles opening doors when their intended key has been misplaced or, for one of many reasons, does not open the lock anymore. This is a type of forced entry, and as such it’s important that it’s carried out by a professional who will avoid damaging the door and adjacent wall. There is a vast number of lock types, and a great locksmith should be familiar with the proper, safest way to open all of them without a key. The high level of accuracy and professionalism required is only one aspect of a great locksmith, with the other one being availability.
