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. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. - Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work. ## Contact - Phone: 01727 839353 - Website: https://www.albanlocksmiths.uk/ --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/alban-locksmiths-limited Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
