Response evidence
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.
Public response evidence
How quickly they respond
What their website advertises:
- 24/7 locksmith response
- "Call us for 24/7 locksmith response"
Use this as a reason to call them first, not a guarantee they can attend now. Confirm availability, timing, and call-out terms directly before you rely on it.

Detailed reviews
Problem with lock diagnosed quickly, parts already on van, repaired in a speedy and tidy way, would recommend
Fantastic service right the way through, from the response to the initial call to the job itself. Alan was friendly and knowledgeable, arrived quickly, gained entry without any damage, serviced the lock afterwards and gave advice to prevent further issues.
Locked myself out my house on this very cold day. Alan arrived incredibly quickly and sorted it within minutes. A huge thanks Alan, you saved the day!

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.
