## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Although they were unable to help because the car is imported, they looked into it and were very helpful and thorough"
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."

## 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.
