## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Joe did a great job for us fitting multiple internal locks throughout the house."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

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

> "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!"
> Source: Anonymous (4.8, via Checkatrade)

## 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.
