> "Chris provided an absolutely excellent service when my mum’s front door lock broke earlier this week. After being let down (and almost scammed) by a national provider I’m so pleased that I found Chris’ number. Chris came out later that day, assessed the problem and got a part quickly to fix the door. My mum is vulnerable and elderly so I can’t thank Chris enough for the way he dealt with my mum and getting it sorted quickly for her for a reasonable price. Thank you so much."

## 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.
