## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Free assessment of the issue on the first day, came around promptly the next day to measure lock and replaced within an hour. Lock works perfectly and service was incredibly quick. Very friendly - walked through the issues and the various option as well as the costs of each. Overall very satisfied."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I got locked out of the house and did not have any spare keys. The locksmith arrived fairly quickly and picked the lock without damaging the door mechanism. That meant only changing lock afterwards with out having the need to buy the entire mechanism which was quite costly."

> "Very polite and professional behavior. Completed the job in timely manner and kept tidy during the work."

## Before you hire a locksmith
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Get 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.
- 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.
