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.

Highlights

Super helpful with our 'non-standard' cylinder lock installation. Nice guy! Recommended

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

The lock in our back door broke, the key wouldn't turn. I had a go with Youtube videos but realised it was beyond me and most likely needed a replacement part. I explained what I had already done and the job to Shaun, and he figured out what the issue was based on my description, and gave a quote. He came as early as he could (next morning), brought the part needed and sorted it all in half an hour. He was clear, friendly and got the job done quickly. He also talked me through how the mechanism got damaged in the first place so as to avoid it in the future. Stuck to the quote. All good.

I broke a key in the lock last night. After attempting to remove the broken key myself, I called Sean from this site this morning. Sean arrived within 2 hours of calling and quickly replaced the damaged lock, aligned the door and lubricated the mechanism. The lock was hard to open before the key broke, but thanks to Sean it's better than ever. I would thoroughly recommend Sean for his attitude and aptitude - not forgetting the memorable name! Many thanks Sean Alan (Kiveton Park)

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 locksmith
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.
