“100’s of miles away from home and lost my car keys. Called 247 Locksmiths and was immediately reassured that Jordan could both program me 2 new car keys and be able to do so that day. True to his word, he arrived when he said he would; was open and communicative while he was working; and did not leave until he was sure we were safely on our way. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more professional service and would highly recommend to anyone without hesitation.”

AVOID USING Unfortunately despite the seemingly good reviews, I have had an appalling experience using 247 Manchester Locksmiths. I chose to use this company because of the good reviews, thinking they were reliable and trustworthy. It turns out that they use subcontractors and take no responsibility for the service, actions and charges of the subcontractors. Despite 247 Manchester locksmith quoting £80 callout fee and lock changes starting from £30, the subcontractor charged over £500. The final cost was vastly inflated. When my partner spoke to Denis on the phone, he said
Useless. Nobody has contacted me even now and this is the first time I have used Checkatrade. Not a good start.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off. Emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association. The MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
