Highlights
"Excellent service"
"I was locked myself out without my mobile. Because of the f**ked situation there were so many obstacles to sort out and took longer for whatever I was asked to do. But they were so patient and determined to help me. I wouldn’t hope for a need to contact them again lol but if you do pick them up :)"

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.
