Highlights
"Jim was super speedy and really kind considering I'd manage to lock myself out on a Saturday afternoon. Considering the weekend and also it being a bank holiday, the cost was really reasonable - the phone was answered within two rings, bish bash bosh—now I'm in my house! Hurrah. Thanks so much Jim, you're great at breaking in!"
"Jim was was a real hero. Needed car unlocked urgently after locking dogs in. Speedy response time, dogs saved and in time for a walk! :) great service and price. Would definitely recommend."
"This is the second time I've used JTL, I can't recommend James enough. He is honest polite, explains everything in great detail, then explains your options before carrying out the work. He is polite arrives on time and his workmanship and honesty is refreshing these days. There is no mess and no fuss, and there is no shock Bill with hidden extras. Simply does what is on the tin as they say. I highly recommend James and I would definitely use JTL again"

What this business says about itself
Online since 2022. Their website domain was first registered in 2022, 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).
- Emergency availability: rapid response
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 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.
