## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "The handle on our front door had become very stiff and virtually unusable . I called Darren and explained the issue and he was able to come out the same day. He quickly diagnosed the cause which was not the handle but the “keep” that the locking mechanism locks into when closed. He took it all off , re sited it and now the door works perfectly . No new handle or lock needed . Polite, friendly and knowledgeable I thoroughly recommend him ."

> "I cannot recommend Darren enough. I called him at midday and by 2:30pm he had fixed my front door and repaired 2 window locks! Darren was very friendly, reasonably priced and explained exactly what he had done and the breakdown of costs. We will certainly be recommending Darren to our friends and family. Thank you!"

## 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.
