Frequently Asked Questions about the Find-a-Locksmith Database

TAOL Home

Why is my company not listed?

You must be a member of the TAOL to be listed AND you have to let us know you WANT to be listed.

I know several members who are NOT in the data base, why is that?

Some members do not want to be in the database, (for example they may be a institutional member) database inclusion is not mandatory.  If you think they SHOULD be listed let them know or email the webmaster and we will contact them.

When I search for a common word like "lock" or "Ontario" why don't I get any results?

By design, any search query that calls up more than roughly 1/3 of the database will not garner any results.

Why won't the database let me make a search? I keep trying and it gives me an error page?

There is a short delay to stop very repetitive searches (like search robots make) just wait for 10 or 15 seconds and try again.  

Also rarely some computer that use very strong virus/firewall/security protection programs may screen the cookies needed to run a  PHP database.  Contact your computer guru if you think this may be the case.

My data is incorrect or missing can I fix in myself?

No, Please email the administrator or the office for changes.
