Highlights
“Brian is a punctual, friendly chap with what is clearly a vast knowledge of door latches etc. After realigning the door and stripping and cleaning the lock he was able to resolve the issue. Honest as the day is long rather than changing parts unnecessarily at the customer’s expense. Can not recommend him enough. 5 star service thank you Brian.”
Detailed reviews
Brian made the most appealing mess of my door and door frame. He arrived and only finished 7 hours later, leaving me and my 5 year old son locked in our house from the outside. This was extremely dangerous if there had been a fire as well as for security as we couldn't lock the door when inside while we waited for an emergency locksmith to repair the damage the next day. They couldn't, Brian had damaged it so badly so much wood they were unable to fit a new working model. I have had the cost of an emergency locksmith, a new door and frame and Brian wont send his professional insurance.

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.
