## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We couldn’t lock our back door so contacted David at 4pm and he was here by 4.40 that day. He tried to free the mechanism but it didn’t oblige so he changed the barrel and left us with 5 new keys, Would hesitate to recommend him."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "My key snapped in the lock and I was therefore locked out! A call to David and he was with me in minutes! He was very reassuring, had all the right equipment in his van and completely sorted the lock out. Great service and a lovely bloke!"

## Before you hire a locksmith
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- 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.
- Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
- Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
