Highlights

"I have never used a locksmith before so after reading many different reviews I started making calls and Mark was the first and within minutes of speaking to him he was the guy I was going to use. Mark helped to regain entry after a repossession and made all the necessary I.D checks and proof of ownership he got the first two doors only to reveal a pigsty of a house!! Mark worked in and around a lot of filth to repair damage to the back door after an attempted break in and fit new lock and handles. Mark never moaned once and is a total professional and a great guy to meet. Thank you."

"Excellent service and delivered with a smile. A throw back to the traditional way of helping each other! Mark fixed our problem and was pragmatic and efficient with the solution. Really pleased with the service and would happily recommend or indeed call Mark again for any locksmith/alarm/security work."

"Mark is an extremely knowledgeable locksmith, who was able to rectify my originally badly fitted patio doors. One set of these doors had been extremely problematical to lock. He also realigned 2 more upvc doors and adjusted the locking mechanisms. He is a very po!Ite and professional individual, and you feel confident that he knows what he is doing from the moment he arrives. All my external doors now close and lock properly and smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend Mark."

From their own website

What this business says about itself

See their work: Facebook (opens in new tab)

Online since 2010. Their website domain was first registered in 2010, according to the public domain registry — an independent sign of how long they’ve been operating online (we checked this ourselves, it’s not a claim from their site).

  • Established: 1987 (39 years in business)

These are statements the business makes on its own website — worth confirming in writing (and on the official registers) before you hire, not independently verified by us.

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 locksmith
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.
