Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Joe should be listed as an emergency service! Literally message/call and he responds instantly. No job is too small and there’s nothing he can’t solve. We’ve been locked out of our garage with no keys, our front door lock not opening and with a single message he’s there. Joe even sorts all the extra keys which I didn’t even consider. He’s the perfect gent, trustworthy, reliable, reasonable in price and we’d never use anyone else.”
“Joe did a great job upgrading my locks following a break in. He recommended appropriate locks and they were all fitted with no fuss. I can now sleep a little easier. Thanks Joe!”

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.
