## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We called Joe a few years ago to sort out a front door lock which was snagging. I was so impressed with his promptness, attitude and quality of work that I asked for a quote for replacing our old wired house alarm. Quote was reasonable for up to date wi fi equipment and fitting. The job was done with good humour, rapidly, cleanly and worked first time and continues to do so with annual checks. Very happy with Joe, his family and his service and have no hesitation in recommending him and supporting this local family business. Thank you!"

Joe is reliable, professional, friendly, polite and communicated well with the work needed. Would highly recommend Joe Taylor. Thanks again Joe."

## 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.
