Job done very efficiently
Locksmith came to replace a front door lock that was sticking and a conservatory door lock that had seized (total £540). Unfortunately, he misdiagnosed the problem with the conservatory door. He replaced the rail mechanism. The part cost £260, which seemed a lot. The lock, however, seized again. He then removed both deadbolts, but this compromised the draught excluder and the alarm. On the final visit he realised that the bottom deadbolt was the problem. The door now works but without the lower deadbolt. Replacing this in the first place would have been simpler and cheaper.

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.
