Consumer Warning
Beware of Nationwide Locksmith Scams
Targeting Meriden, CT Residents
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorney generals across the country have issued warnings about predatory locksmith companies that use fake local listings to deceive consumers. Here's what to watch for in Meriden, CT 06450:
Suspiciously Cheap Phone Quotes
Nationwide call-center companies advertise $15–$35 lockout prices over the phone. Once on-site, they invent reasons to charge $200–$500+. The original quote disappears.
Fake Local Listings
These companies buy thousands of fake Google Business listings claiming to be in your town. You think you're calling a local locksmith — you're actually calling a national dispatch center.
Unmarked Vehicles & No ID
A real licensed locksmith arrives in a marked vehicle and can show you their state license on request. Scam operators often arrive in unmarked vans with no credentials.
Drilling When It's Not Needed
Unlicensed technicians routinely drill out locks that could be opened non-destructively — then charge you for a new lock on top. A skilled locksmith picks or bypasses the lock first.
Refusing to Give a Written Estimate
Before any work begins, a professional locksmith provides a written estimate. If someone refuses to put the price in writing before starting — walk away.
No Connecticut License
