For context: After being overcharged by a different locksmith, I reached out to a few others to get a cost estimate of how much they would’ve charged for the job. Understandably, it’s proven difficult to get written cost estimates for a job that’s already been done! Robert was kind enough to give me a breakdown & explanation of roughly how much he would’ve charged. While no work was actually needed in my case, him taking the time to respond to my ad speaks to his character :) I’ll definitely be getting in touch with Robert if I need a locksmith in future!

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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.
