It depends. If the police are looking for evidence and that evidence is near the doorway, then you may need to wait a little bit before you go ahead and call on a locksmith to take care of break-in repairs. You also want to be sure that, either before or shortly after you call the locksmith, you also talk with your insurance agency to start filing a claim. When you’re unsure, just go ahead and ask the officers at your home as to whether or not they’re ready for you to start calling for your repairs.
