## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "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."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I was on holiday and needed a locksmith. These guys are brilliant and sorted my problem within 2 hours"
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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!"

## 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.
