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.

Quick service and a job well done. Charming gentleman, cleared everything up afterwards and all at a reasonable price
Michael was very thorough, diligent, knowledgeable and a pleasure to have working in the house. A very prompt and efficient job in all aspects. To be recommended.
I called and spoke with Michael who attended and changed a front door lock. His work was of good quality, he left the area clean was courteous and his pricing was very reasonable.
Michael was friendly and professional. He did an amazing job and checked whether there were any safety concerns as he would have stayed late the day before to fit me in. He even helped me change the code on my key box!

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.
