Insurance Claims Assistance
When your home or business in Atlanta experiences a security-related incident—such as a break-in, lock damage, or lost keys—the aftermath can feel overwhelming. Beyond the immediate concern of securing your property, you also face the task of navigating an insurance claim. At Joshua Keyless Entry Installation, we help Atlanta residents and business owners through this process by providing professional locksmith services and the detailed documentation insurers require. We work alongside you and your insurance company to get your property secure and your claim moving forward.
How the Claims Process Works
The insurance claims process related to locksmith services typically follows a straightforward path, though every policy and situation is unique. Here is a general overview of what you can expect when you contact us for assistance:
- Secure Your Property First – After an incident, your priority is safety. We will arrive to rekey locks, replace damaged locks, install new keyless entry systems, or make emergency repairs. We do not recommend waiting for an insurance adjuster before securing your premises.
- Document the Work – While we complete the service, we capture all necessary details. This includes a description of the work performed, the reason for the service (e.g., forced entry, lost keys), the types of locks or hardware involved, and the date and time of service.
- Receive a Detailed Invoice – We provide a comprehensive invoice that itemizes parts, labor, and any emergency service fees. This document serves as the foundation for your insurance claim.
- Submit to Your Insurer – You or your adjuster can submit the invoice along with any other required documentation. In many cases, the insurer will process the claim and reimburse you for covered expenses, subject to your deductible and policy terms.
- Follow Up as Needed – If your insurance company requests additional information, we are happy to provide supplemental documentation or speak with your adjuster directly (with your permission).
Documentation We Provide
Accurate, thorough documentation is essential for a smooth claims process. We provide the following with every insurance-related job:
- Itemized Invoice – A clear breakdown of all charges, including labor, materials (locks, keys, deadbolts, keypads, etc.), and any emergency service fees.
- Service Description – A written explanation of why the service was needed and what was done to restore security.
- Date and Time of Service – Precise timestamps for when the work began and was completed.
- Technician Identification – Name and identification of the locksmith who performed the work.
- Photographs (if applicable) – When helpful, we can take photos of damaged locks, broken doors, or the new installation to support your claim.
We do not provide estimates of value or opinions on whether your insurance will cover the work. Our role is to supply factual, verifiable records that your adjuster can use to process the claim.
Working with Insurance Companies
We have experience working with insurance companies across the Atlanta area. Our team is familiar with the types of information that adjusters typically request. Here is how we collaborate:
- We can provide additional documentation upon request, such as a supplemental letter describing the scope of the emergency.
- With your written authorization, we can speak directly with your insurance adjuster to clarify any details about the work performed.
- We do not negotiate with insurers on your behalf. We do not make promises about coverage, nor do we guarantee that any claim will be approved. The final decision rests with your insurance company based on your policy.
We are not insurance agents or legal advisors. For questions about your specific coverage, deductibles, or policy limitations, please consult your insurance provider or a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to wait for my insurance adjuster before calling a locksmith?
A: No. In most cases, you should secure your property immediately. Waiting could leave your home or business vulnerable. We recommend contacting us as soon as it is safe to do so. Your adjuster can review the documentation we provide later.
Q: Will my insurance cover the cost of locksmith services after a break-in?
A: Coverage varies by policy. Many homeowner’s and commercial property insurance policies include coverage for emergency repairs, including locksmith services, after a covered loss (such as theft or vandalism). However, we cannot guarantee that your specific claim will be approved. Check with your insurer for details.
Q: What information do I need to provide to you for the documentation?
A: We will ask for your name, address, the date and nature of the incident, and any insurance claim number if you have already filed one. We do not need your policy details—just enough to create an accurate invoice and service description.
