Response evidence
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.

I’m unable to upload a photo but I had locked myself and grandchildren out of their house and as the parents were abroad had no second key. I chose Ian because he advertised he was 24 hr and it was Sunday! He came within 20 minutes of our conversation and worked efficiently and was very polite and understanding of my situation. I was so relieved when the door opened and so we’re my young grandchildren!! I would definitely recommend him.

Thank you so much for a great review.
Our front door would lock, but we could not get the key out. Part replaced. New type of lock fitted and all explained. Thank you.

Many thanks for a great review. Regards Ian
Ian is very considerate and talks to you about the best options without being pushy; he also gives great security advice and as I am on my own, it was much appreciated. He also gave me some great tips on maintenance re oiling hinges and using graphite powder in the locks which other people don’t tell you.

Many thanks Debbie for a great review. Regards Ian
Ian came and helped me out of a very sticky situation when I was locked in a garage and just home from a serious medical procedure. His service was exceptional and really came to my aid as soon as he was contacted. He is also informative and very helpful offering great advice. Can not recommend highly enough and am so grateful for his help.

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.
