Highlights
“On time, reliable, courteous, job completed as required, fair price.”
“The locksmith came to fit an alarm ringer but whist he was here he noticed my back door lock was not antisnap and could be easily broken. I really appreciated his advice and was able to sort it out myself and fit a better lock with some text support from the locksmith. The advice, link and text support was so helpful and was given after he had finished the paid work. I was really grateful.”
“Colin came within the hour and sorted out a problem which we have had for a long while. Thank you!”

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
