Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
