Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check — a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 50 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
"Although they were unable to help because the car is imported, they looked into it and were very helpful and thorough"
"Amazing response to our second job with this local company. When we were unable to secure our front door they responded within a few hours, great communications, completed the job under guarantee due to previous work done and gave expert advice re. Long term fixes and other work. Cannot recommend enough."
"Professional, responsive, personible and punctual. I requested City Lock & Safe Ltd to advise on the right frontdoor lock for our new home. They were clear on the recommendation, safety features and a breakdown of costs covering parts (lock and keys), labour and vat. The engineer who completed the job arrived in a company-marked van wearing uniform and ensured that i was clear on what was being installed, at no time trying to upsell or convince me of additional fees. This is a firm you can trust."

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.
