As we all know, COVID-19 is a
pandemic that is affecting everyone, but for us at NLS Security Ltd, your
safety is of paramount importance – especially during these unprecedented
times.
Since the UK went into
lockdown, many businesses have had to close temporarily in an attempt to
prevent the spread of COVID-19. But, the good news is, we are still open as
usual
and continue to provide safety and security solutions to homes (and
essential businesses that remain open) across Newcastle and the North East.
During this period, the vast
majority of locksmiths have closed their shops to help combat the coronavirus
and reduce its spread. However, we are operating emergency mobile
locksmith services
and being extra vigilant to ensure the health and
safety for both our Newcastle locksmiths
and customers.
Emergency mobile locksmith
services
The best thing about mobile
locksmiths is that they have more or less a shop inside their vehicles, so can
tend to many kinds of situations, be it:
·24-hour emergency locksmith service
·Lockouts and door opening
·Lock replacements
·Mobile key cutting and duplication
·Door lock repairs
·Auto locksmith service (for opening car locks)
What are locksmiths in
Newcastle doing differently?
As most mobile locksmiths
operate alone – and don’t need to interact with customers inside the 2m social
distancing rules – the chance of spreading the virus is very low. But to be on
the safe side, all our Newcastle locksmiths
will be wearing gloves and
won’t be shaking hands, while adhering to social distancing measures. They will
sanitise their hands before and after each job – usually with soap and hot
water – to ensure the virus cannot be carried over. We will also carry masks at
all times and wear them when dealing with vulnerable customers.
In addition to this, we will bring
a card machine that accepts most major debit and credit cards. We ask that you
pay using a card to avoid unnecessary cash-holding which, in turn, will reduce
the spread of coronavirus.
What measures can you take?
If you desperately need a locksmith
in Newcastle
during the coronavirus outbreak, there are a number of basic
precautionary measures you can take, including:
·frequently wash your hands with soap and water
for at least 20 seconds
·cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when
you cough or sneeze – don’t use your hands
·put used tissues in the bin immediately and
always wash your hands afterwards
·keep a safe 2m distance between you and the
locksmith at all times
Before we come out to your
property, we will ask whether anyone is self-isolating or has symptoms. This is
purely for the safety of our locksmith and their families. If you do have
symptoms, whether it be a high temperature or a continuous cough, please make
sure that you stay safe at home.
