What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself

Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

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 locksmith

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.
