Response evidence
Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Darren arrived when promised and explained the problem with the door before starting work. He tried to fix it without needing to replace parts but unfortunately this is what was needed. Good job done and the door doesn’t need to be slammed anymore. Thanks for your help.”
“Dave was meticulous and efficient. He immediately identified that the door in question was almost 100 years old and required sensitive handling. He was very much on time and scrupulous in his tidying up. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.”
“Dave came out to give quotes on some things that needed fixing in a newly purchased house, and ended up doing the main repairs the same day for a fair price. Polite, did the work to a great standard, and a very reasonable price.”

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.
