Highlights
"I explained what the issue was over the phone and Darren knew what the issue was and gave me a price before he came. He came out within half an hour and fixed it immediately. Great Service."
"A set of keys was lost so needed a barrel changed on the front door. Darren was fantastic, very polite and carried the job out to price agreed. He came out within 24 hours of making the call.The two previous companies I phoned. The first no one replied and the second wouldn't come out until Monday. So, was really impressed with how easy it was with SDS. I would definitely use them again."
"Excellent quick service by a friendly gentleman who I would highly recommend after changing the locks on my new home the day we moved in."

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.
