Highlights
"Excellent communication and service"
"Had to call AK Locksmiths out on a Saturday afternoon. My daughter moved into a new build home and can you believe they put 2 different locks on the patio doors and we only had a key for one lock. Sofa wouldn't fit through the front door so it was crucial we got the sofa in before the removal men left. In came Kevin within an hour changed the locks and saved the day. Moving home is such an emotional thing my daughter went into panic mode as you can imagine. Thank you Kevin you are our locksmith guru"
"Quick. Explained reason old locks were weren't working and replaced new ones very efficient."

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.
