Highlights
"We contacted Ash(Acorn Locksmith) recently to gain access to our tenanted property where the tenant had moved out without handing over the keys. Ash responded to our request fast and was incredibly quick in attending the issue the same day. He charged us less than what he quoted as the lock was a different one other than what we expected, which was a pleasant surprise. He was willing to deliver the keys to our estate agent as per our request. His service was excellent. We are happy to recommend Ash to anyone seeking a locksmith service."
"Ash was very quick at responding to my query and also came to do the work fast. The price was very reasonable and Ash was lovely. Would recommend to others"

On time, gave a free advise option and looked at all aspects of the job. Gave a range of prices and was clear what we needed to do and what we could do so we did not spend excessively. Great Service and guidance.

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.
