## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Luke was very helpful - Kept me up to date with progress and timescales and importantly, did a great job with the locks. Have used Lock East twice now, wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Superb, could not have been better or quicker, solving a challenging problem that made life difficult for us."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Luke was friendly, professional and really helpful. Our lock was narrow so he had to source an alternative replacement. The only increase in charge was to cover the more expensive lock even though he had to come out twice. If we have any future lock problems we’ll be giving him a call."

## 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.
