## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Truly a lifesaver! He came out super quick, although I was in Lechlade and out of his way. Had me back in my house in less then a minute, Due to the ease of the job (if you are a professional and know your trade) He didn’t charge me and wouldn’t take any small gift as a gesture of my gratitude. I would recommend him to anyone, for his honesty, humanity and simply a wonderful caring company!! I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Thanks so much!"

## 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.
