Highlights
"Excellent service very prompt and called as soon as units arrived and fitted them straight away."
"Hamish is excellent. He quickly helped me out to get a new lock fitted on my front door then I got him back again to fit another lock on a door inside the house. All the way through both of these I had excellent communication, great workmanship and a fair price. Will certainly be using his services again. Couldn't recommend enough."
"Great work. Thank you!"

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.
