_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "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."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."

## 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.
