Paul Easton Locksmiths and Garage door repairs, why choose local.

 Keep your community unique.

Local businesses give a community its flavor. Towns across Britain have similar chain restaurants, grocery and department stores but that diner down the street where you have breakfast every Saturday morning is one-of-a-kind. The combined presence of your town’s many local businesses makes it different from every other city in the world. By supporting those businesses instead of chains, you ensure that uniqueness is preserved as a part of your community.

In recent years, a movement has begun. It’s a movement that takes consumers away from large, impersonal big-box retailers and introduces them to the people doing business in their very own cities. These are local farmers, craftsmen, antiques dealers, and other product providers, with items made locally and sold on a small scale.

When a consumer supports his local business owners, he enjoys benefits he can’t possibly get from shopping at national chains. Here are some top reasons to support your local entrepreneurs.

Convenience:

Superior Customer Service:

Community Involvement

Small business owners are an integral part of the communities in which they live and work. Thus, they tend to be cognizant of how their decisions may impact their neighbors. In addition, local small business entrepreneurs tend to be involved in the community. For instance, they may sponsor local Little League teams, donate to the city’s homeless shelter, join the chamber of commerce, participate in community charity events, or contribute to a local non-profit organization. It’s also not unheard of for successful business owners to guest lecture at the local community college, technical institute, or small business center.

 More personalized service.

Having the owner nearby also means that owner personally knows his customers. He knows the products you buy or the services you request on a regular basis and can tailor services to make your experience even better. A local gardening shop owner may learn about a new product on the market that can help you with a pest control problem you mentioned on one of your visits, for instance, and can order that product as part of his selections.

Buying local has benefits beyond mere convenience. When you support local business owners, you get a better level of service, as well as helping make your community a better place to live. This is in addition to the health benefits and access to unique products that you usually can’t find with chain locations

By using a local business such as Paul Easton Locksmiths we are able to offer a more tailored service, we have a unique knowledge of the types of doors and locks that are predominantly used in this area.

Believe it or not of the hundreds of locking mechanisms available for doors and windows most will never be used in certain areas or towns simply due to the fact that the manufacturers and fitters of doors and windows in a given area will all pretty much stick to a supplier based in that area so you tend to see a lot of one particular brand or style of doors and locking types.

This ultimately means that when you call out a locksmith a local independent one will carry the stock that is most used in your area, therefor you are not paying for a temporary job with return visits to order parts up.

Here's an insight into using locksmiths not from the local area. 

I recently attended a job to change a women's lock, while i was their she was telling me she had a locksmith company in several weeks before me.

In the course of the conversation she then preceded to tell me that he had to change the clutch on the door lock.

Well let me tell you now, their is no such thing as a clutch on a door lock, a clutch is in a car, nowhere else.

Basically what he is doing is adding items to the invoice that can't be checked that the customer has no idea of what they are or what he is telling them.

In other words your bill is going upwards for no reason what so ever other than to pad out his invoice.

These incidents are happening every week to customers who have to trust that the people doing the work are honest.

 Most are not and theirs a very good reason for it, most are sub contracted out to national companies on a  part payment basis.

In other words the more they charge you the customer the more they get paid after the call centre takes their cut, your basically paying twice for the job.
