Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Hood's Locksmith Service has been in business since 2009.

From updating a antiquated keying system to finding the right locking solution for any particular situation, we can help. Hood's also offers 24 hour Emergency Service. Lock yourself out of the office or home? Count on Hood's to assist you promptly and fairly.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Ever lock yourself out of your home or car? You know that helpless feeling that comes over you? Yup, I have too. Ever wondered how a lock actually works? It started off for me as I want to have the knowledge to be able to limit the times I have to stare at my keys through a window while I am outside in the rain and cold. Have you noticed you hardly ever lock yourself out of someplace on a nice beautiful day when there is nothing on your agenda? Every day I see something new. It is like a new puzzle every day. There are many different types of locks and it interests me in learning how they work. I have been in the security industry for many years I just have a passion for the quest of "How does it work".
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
You have many choices of so called "locksmiths" in this area. Just because you found a name in the phone book or on the internet does not mean that you are actually getting a locksmith. Here is why. In the state of Indiana we have no licensing requirements for locksmiths like you do with other trades such as plumbers and electricians. As a result the local number you are dialing from that phone book listing is re-directing you to a call center in some other state. Then a "Technician" is dispatched to perform the service. Most of the time these "Technicians" are not qualified enough to put gas in your car let alone unlock it. Hood's Locksmith Service is a LOCAL COMPANY. We are members in good standing with the Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA). ALOA is the locksmith industry's standard for making sure that your "technician" is a actual locksmith, trained and certified on the latest technologies to make sure you are taken care of professionally and fairly.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Hood's Locksmith Service is a mobile lock service. At this point in time we do not have a brick and mortar store. As the company grows and as our customer base grows we will look into planting some roots in a physical location. At this point in time not all of Noblesville has heard about the best lock service in town, Hood's Lock. We feel certain that as time progresses the word will spread.

Hood's Locksmith Service is a mobile company, just give us a call. We save you the time of having to find us, we will come to you.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept many forms of payment. Cash is always our favorite, but we do accept check and charge. Invoicing is available for commercial accounts with approved credit.
Which areas do you service?
Hood's Locksmith Service mainly services Noblesville, Fishers and Pendleton. We service most of Northern Indianapolis like Carmel, Westfield, Nora, Castleton, Zionsville, Lawrence, Broad Ripple, etc. We also venture up to Muncie, Anderson, Lapel, Fortville. Give us a call if you have any questions. Not all of our services are offered for all areas. For example, if you live in Broad Ripple and are locked out of your car, you want to get into it promptly and cost effectively. It would be more cost effective and time effective for us to refer you to a friendly competitor.

What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
