Locksmith Cons Customer Using Dyno Locks Trade Mark Name

May 2nd, 2013 No comments

In the early part of the year we received an am call to Dyno Locks to assist in man locked in a toilet in his home. Our log system shows a quotation given on that time. It appears that customer was not happy to pay our call out labour fee. Some two months later we received a call from the customer requesting that he had not received a receipt and he had spoken to our engineer on more than one occasion requesting the receipt. He was pointing out that he had not received one on the day. The engineer whom he had spoken to had stated he would get a receipt sent out to him on both occasions. However the customer never received it and had now decided to make an official complaint to the office. Having received the complaint we followed procedures requesting name, date, address and contact number as to whom he had being making contact with, as all jobs are logged on our system. We explained to the customer that we will identify the job through his details. We had pointed out to the customer that we don’t encourage the customer to call engineers direct. However it had now transpired that the customer did not use Dyno Locks. We had identified by way of not having his details on file but had the log of receiving the call. He had in fact used another business whom he says lead him to believe that he was using our company Dyno Locks.    

After a lengthy discussion we advised the customer to take the mater up with them. The customer was not happy to agree for us to pursue the matter and take legal action against the other party.

Dyno Locks is a registered trade mark and registered under ISO9001, we will always give a customer a receipt and keep records of each and every job we complete. Dyno locks will pursue through the courts any locksmith who attempts to use its good name.

The qualities that make a good locksmith

January 3rd, 2013 No comments

Most companies would promote their locksmiths as the best in the business but the veracity of such claims can be judged only by the quality of work and other such factors listed below, describing the various traits that a good locksmith must possess.

 

Professionalism

 

The most important requirement to become a good locksmith is professionalism. If a locksmith is needed at a particular place and time, it is important that he arrives on time, and with the necessary equipments. He should be polite and must carry the company’s badge or some sort of identification. This is important for the client in order to be certain of the locksmith’s identity and reliability.

 

Technical knowledge

 

Skills and knowledge are important requirements for a locksmith. Although most locksmiths have undergone training and can handle cases pertaining to security locks and making duplicate car keys, but only a good locksmith possesses the right mix of capability and knowledge.

 

Prompt service

 

Ideally a locksmith provider agency should provide prompt service. Emergencies can strike without prior warning and therefore a locksmith service should be emergency ready.

Flexibility is very important. A locksmith agency that provides 24 hour service is the one you can trust and rely upon.

 

Certification

 

Certification by a trusted body is a proof of the credibility of the agency. Locksmiths in Dublin and the rest of Ireland require to be certified by organisations such as the ALOI (Associated locksmiths of Ireland).

 

Any locksmith agency that scores high on the above mentioned parameters can be said to be good and trustworthy. One such agency is Dyno Locks.ie.

Home, Office and Auto Locksmiths in Ireland

November 26th, 2012 No comments

A round the clock locksmith service performs legally, and on invitation – what a burglar or a break-in thief does illegally and intrusively. The advances in technology in locks and security systems these days have made such emergency services highly specialised and skill-intensive. It is no longer about assistance just with a locked-up vehicle or a house. Modern locksmith companies have become more like security consultants who also provide comprehensive hardware, installation, and maintenance services to individuals and businesses. Following is a brief description of some of the services they offer:

 

Lock Picking

 

When was the last time you locked your car, and forgot to take the keys out? Or, got locked out of a room in your house? Such things happen more often than people realise. And when they do, it usually is a fruitless exercise trying to jimmy your way in. Lock picking is both an art and a science, one which needs considerable amounts of skill, practice and experience. Professional locksmith companies employ highly trained general and auto locksmiths who can get the job done in a matter of minutes. These services come in handy especially when there are valuables or important items in question, like in safes. Using state of the art technology, virtually any lock, and almost anything can be broken into.

 

Safe Installations and Break-ins

 

Top locksmith companies install, maintain, and if required – break into, a wide variety of and range of safes, such as free-standing and cash safes, under-floor and wall safes, fire resistant safes, reconditioned safes, gun cabinets, and even time locked safes that are meant for commercial purposes. Safes fitted by professional and accredited locksmiths always meet requisite insurance standards.

 

Alarms, Access Control and CCTV

 

A well rounded security system can be a really important tool against break-ins and burglaries in homes and offices. Investing in a professionally installed alarm system, access control and closed-circuit TV is a great long term move for any house owner or business. What is crucial, however, is to make sure that the installation and maintenance is carried out by a company with a well-known pedigree in building-protection and the highest level of professional standards.

Top Locksmiths in Dublin

November 20th, 2012 No comments

In the ancient world, locksmiths were regarded at par with other artisans and craftsmen.

The best of them were close confidants of the wealth and power keepers of their times.

 

Locksmith services in this day and age too, are not a small-time amateur’s game. It has become a highly specialised industry, with equally skilled professionals running the show.

Emergency Locksmiths to the Rescue!

November 19th, 2012 No comments

Being an emergency locksmith is not an amateur’s game. Picking various kinds of locks and breaking into highly secured spaces and safes requires a special bent of mind and certain god given skills, which need to be honed further in order to become an expert – one who is eligible to be hired by a professional locksmith company. An expert locksmith has the ability to work through any mechanical locking system in a short period of time. Although, the complexity and uniqueness is always the deciding factor in terms of time taken to resolve a lockdown situation.

 

Reputed home and auto locksmith companies procure the services of only the most skilled, certified and bonded lock picking experts. Apart from lock making and picking, their services also include repairing, replacing and cleaning of basic mechanical locks. Today with the advent of hi-tech security systems and devices however, these services have expanded their scope and operations to the installation and maintenance of complex security systems such as access control, closed circuit television and security alarm systems for both residential and commercial properties.

 

Emergency locksmith services take the novelty of this profession a notch higher, mainly on account of the fact that they have to be ready and available to land up in the oddest of places at the oddest of hours, just to make sure that someone in trouble is rescued from an accidental emergency, say a car lockout. General and auto locksmiths might also be your only hope when a lockdown emergency involves valuable objects, such as items stored in safes or secured cabinets. Modern locksmiths use state of the art technology to crack open virtually any lock – mechanical or digital, and can break into almost any locked down space imaginable. Only the best locksmith companies provide round the clock emergency services to their customers.

Locksmith Runs Up A Sweat When Arriving At A Castle

November 19th, 2012 No comments

Locksmiths Cork region recently called to an old castle where an older lady had a problem with her front door, In fact after returning from a short break to find her door lock jammed. She had called several locksmiths without getting an answer. Finally when she was about to give up and at the end of her tether she decided to call one more locksmith, it was us Dyno locksmiths. While every locksmith knows that every job is different the locksmith was not expecting to be arriving at a castle, first thing came to the locksmiths mind was o my god this is not going to be easy as surly the security is going to be good. True to the locksmith thoughts this was certainly no ordinary lock such as a Chubb or union dead lock not even a night latch and when the owner handed the locksmith the key it was a massive turn of the century custom made key to suit a very old dead bolt lock. In fact I would go as far as to say that the old lady would need a separate hand bag for this key it was that big. After about 15-20 minutes the locksmith got the lady in to the castle and proceeded to repair the lock, however the locksmith was left scratching his head as found no problem with the lock.

After maybe another 20 minutes the locksmith looked at the bottom of the door jam and found an obstruction, there was a small stone brought in with someone’s shoe or something similar that had lodged in the corner and caused the door to jam. Th3e locksmith learned another lesson and as every locksmith know it is never as simple as it might seem.

Locksmith see Increase in Recorded Crime In Ireland

July 27th, 2012 No comments

Over the years from 2004 to 2011 there have being a scale of upward and downward trends relating to burglary and related offences , aggravated burglary, burglary and possession of an article. 2005 was up on burglary and related offences while aggravated burglary was down slightly, 2006 was up again. 2011 was the worst hit where figures were up dramatically in all four offences.

Dyno locksmiths would have seen an increase in the level of work cumming in for 2011 also. The locksmiths in Dublin, Galway, Cork, Kildare and Meath have reported and would have seen an increase in break-ins in homes and business. We have seen a trend where there is a need to increase security as a whole. It is interesting what we see on a day to day basis allot of areas that should have insurance related locks fitted, however due to inexperienced work men some of these locks would not be up to standards. It is vitally important that the correct lock be fitted to the correct door. An example would be where a cheap cylinder is fitted to a UPVC door where it sits out too far from the handle leaving it vulnerable for a burglar to remove.

Other areas in around the home or business that can be venerable would be windows ensuring the correct locks are fitted. It is also important that to never leave a key under a mat or a ladder lying around which can only make it easier for the intruder.

Alarms installations have being on the increase as they tend to be a good deterrent when an intruder attempts to break-in. Alarms have become now more sophisticated where they can alert the owner of an activation whit out the need for a phone line being in place.

Below are some states from 2004 to 2011

Master Key Systems

March 21st, 2012 No comments

Locksmiths would be familiar with the name master suit however allot of people would not be. A master suit will allow you protect areas of you building through many different keys. If you are looking to control certain areas or rooms or want control access to certain people than a master key system can be built to suit you. It can range from a small office to a large office building or apartments complex to a single story house. There is a difference between a master suit and a keyed alike lock.  As locksmiths we get requests for different types, a keyed alike lock would be where a lock has the same Key to open all locks, where as a master key suit would have different locks with different keys and maybe one key that will  so open all locks. 

Master key systems are designed to allow a single key open one door, groups of doors or any door with in the master suit system. It would start with either a common door or a group of doors. A common door would be mainly on the front of a building allowing all keys to open it. Individual doors would have a separate key for entry. There can be an overall key know as the master key in witch would open all doors giving control on all the key system.

If it were to say a hotel you could have a system set up like the following:

General Manager has a Grand master key to open all doors; Deputy Manager has a sub master key to open all doors except the manager’s office and the safe room. House keeper has a sub master key that will open all bed rooms, linen rooms except the general manager’s office, deputy manager’s office and the safe room.  So basically you can build a master key suit to suit any building is it big or small.

Other possibilities with a master key system are where you can protect the key by having a registered key or restricted key system. A registered key system will allow only the registered owner orterized to get keys cut which will stop unorterized keys being available. Further to that it would give more security knowing that you have complete control on the key cutting. There are many different variants of products available to buy under a master key system. Dyno locks locksmiths would use two, Multlock and a DOM system. The Dom system is very flexible and can be produced on a complex master key system.

There are many key cutting facilities available to include hardware, dry cleaners and heel bars that can duplicate keys for many different locks. However it is important to make sure that you purchase from the locksmith a master key system that is patent protected using a registered key system this means that the keys can only be cut by the agent who provides the system as they only have access to the key blanks and non agents have no access to the key blanks.

Lock Out

March 21st, 2012 No comments

Dyno Locks locksmith got a call from a distressed customer living in the city centre recently? The customer had met up with a friend and arranged to go out for a few drinks with them. Having arrived home they realised that they had lost their keys and needed a locksmith in Dublin. Before making the call to the locksmiths she decided to call around to all recent places that she had visited that night,  including the last place they had being which was a nightclub in Dublin city centre. The owners said that unfortunately that there were no keys handed in so she reckoned that she had left the keys in the apartment. The customer then decided to book into a local hotel rather ringing the locksmiths late at night. The hotel which I might add was a five star and not cheap to say the least. Next morning they got up early and called locksmiths.ie; we arrived out within a short time and were able to open the door professionally within minutes. Not only was she happy to finally get into her home she was happy that locksmith did not have to replace any locks. We then asked her to find the keys so she attempted to do a thorough search without success, after some giggling and frantic searching she had another idea. She made a second attempt to contact the venue in which she frequented late last night. She made the call and my phone rang, she had dialled the wrong number and found it very funny as stated this is the way her night out had gone. When she got the correct number it appeared that the girl whom answered the phone call knew her and said straight away I have your keys, we found your keys I have them. I can tell you that wiped the smile clean off there faces as the penny had dropped that she had just paid a locksmith to open her door, stayed in a plush hotel and also spend a fortune on Taxis toeing and frowning form her home with out any need to.
