Highlights
"Prompt, friendly, genuine advice ( saved me a new door with a simple adjustment 2 other tradespeople didn’t spot! ). Amazing value and going the extra mile. Cannot recommend Arthur enough."
"I was on holiday and needed a locksmith. These guys are brilliant and sorted my problem within 2 hours"
"We locked ourselves out of our new house and Arthur got us back inside again with a minimum of fuss, at short notice, for a very reasonable price. At our request, he then returned the following day to replace all the locks. This work was done quickly, efficiently, tidily and once again, for a very competitive price. Highly recommended!"

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.
