⚠️ Avoid Brooklyn Locksmith Scams
Watch out for $15-$29 “base rate” ads that triple on arrival. Scammers show up in unmarked cars, refuse to give a quote before drilling your lock, then hit you with $300+ bills. Ask for the business name (LockIK), a clear price range on the phone, and proof of ID and license when the tech arrives. If they dodge those questions, don’t let them touch your door.
