Highlights
"I called Dennis on a Sunday evening as the front door lock would not allow me to remove the key. He replied to my request within 5 minutes and we arranged a visit the next day. He showed me what the problem was and fitted a new barrel within minutes. He gave me an excellent price which I was happy to pay and never tried to force work onto me that wasn't needed. I would definitely use again."

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.
