Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Ed phoned me back straight away and came out within the hour. He was friendly and helpful in manner and fixed the lock professionally. The door lock closes much smoother than it ever has. Ed cleared up and left everything tidy. We would recommend him to our neighbours and family.”
“Absolutely superb service. Replacement lock provided by a very competent and friendly operator”
“Absolutely excellent. Ed managed to find time to look at the problem within 30 minutes, he then proceeded to mend all the doors so that they now lock and shut correctly. He is a lovely guy and is the owner of his company, not a franchise. Thoroughly recommended.”

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.
