Highlights
"What excellent service. Andy turned up approx 25 mins after calling him. He not only fixed the lock but also had new handles on the van which he fitted. Door now operates as it should. Gold star service."

He came within 20 minutes of my phonecall, calling in on his way to another job, gained entry into the house, reset the alarm, and unlocked the bedroom door. Andy was extremely courteous, very professional, and was kind enough not to laugh at my predicament. He was polite and respectful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his company. Thank you Andy, you definitely saved the day."

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.
