I spoke to Iain on the phone and he was able to discuss the problem and visit the next day to fit in with my work arrangements. Iain kept me updated by text about his arrival time. He took time to explain the issue with the door mechanism/gearbox which was the issue. Lock was upgraded too at my request. Iain had all the parts in stock on his van so there was no need to wait for him to seek parts. He even cut an extra key I needed too! Kind, helpful and professional service and would recommend"

## 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.
