DON ’ T BE TAKEN IN BY GOOD LOOKS
For locksmiths branching out into the world of smartware security , Tania Tams adds a word of caution ; “ Locksmiths have a reputation for expertise in the area of home protection and their knowledge enables them to know a good lock from a bad lock by its weight , finish and mechanics or even simply by looking at it .
“ There are many smartware products coming to market now , bombarding locksmiths with all singing , all dancing , glossy looking products that claim to be the best . Locksmiths can ’ t treat smartware security like they do the more traditional products and can ’ t simply choose one product over another by its styling and packaging because they don ’ t have the knowledge of the product ’ s inner workings .
“ For this reason , choosing an established , trusted security product provider is essential . By choosing smartware products from ERA , Locksmiths can rest assured that they have access to our technical support teams and our customers can get post-installation support from our advice line .
“ Training is also available for locksmiths who feel they ’ d benefit from it . All this backed up by over 175 years ’ experience in the market and a dedication to only providing products that are fit for purpose and fully researched and tested .”
