Thoroughly recommend." > Source: Sharon (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "I had a problem with my uPVC front door catch mechanism. I had used Kevin from Fort Locks a few years ago for my mother-in-law and still had his contact details so I gave him a call. Kevin managed to get to me after only a couple of hours, which was great, as I couldn’t use my front door at all. He provided excellent advice and gave me a couple of options (which varied in price). My door was fixed within 10 mins. I’d definitely recommend Fort Locks to anyone who wants a fast and efficient service." > Source: Mark (5.0, via TrustATrader) ## Trades Locksmith ## See their work _Portfolio and gallery links this business publishes.

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. ## Contact - Phone: 07360 497330 - Website: http://www.fortlocks.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/fort-locks-our-business-protecting-yours Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
