Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Paul turned up promptly after agreeing to the job and the possible work and prices were explained clearly before he began. In the end, the job was relatively simple and Paul charged a fair price and offered good advice for future work, as well as useful tips for maintenance and troubleshooting. Highly recommended.

Very happy with WG Locksmiths. Paul is my regular locksmith and has done several jobs for me including fitting locks and door furniture, servicing my bifold doors and replacing locks. He always responds quickly, is very helpful and charges a very reasonable price. Very highly recommended.

Verified by CheckatradeFront door lock repair
Paul responded to my enquiry very quickly and came out the same day to repair a broken front door lock. He was very transparent about pricing and was very reasonably priced. I would recommend Paul and would use again for any locksmith needs
Sabine K5.0 / 5 ·
Paul updated locks and installed a ring camera in our new house. We can thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable and reasonably priced locksmith. He has been transparent and communicative, and gave us some very good home security advice. We also appreciated that he provided us with variety of options at different price points, so we could choose what suited our budget and immediate needs the most. Aside from that, he is also a really lovely person!

Paul was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He fixed my jammed lock and took the time to explain what had caused the problem and how to prevent it happening again. He even carried out a bit of quick routine maintenance on a different door for free. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Paul was professional, conscientious, polite, and completed the work quickly and to a high standard.
Stephen Jacobs5.0 / 5 ·
Paul, and his work, cannot be faulted. He clearly guided me through the various things that could be wrong with my lock and explained what the cost implications of each stage could be (whether the tumbler needed replacing or not). He even demonstrated each stage of his work so I could clearly understand what was going on. He was excellent, and I appreciate him visiting on such short notice.
If you book Paul you won't be disappointed. I fell on my feet by finding him.

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.
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.
