HOW DO WE AVOID ROGUE LOCKSMITHS?

Gerard Commane • May 11, 2021

Wondering how to know if a locksmith is legit? Not sure what to check to avoid getting ripped off?

Yesterday BBC's Rip Off Britain featured a report on rogue locksmiths and how to avoid them.  Sadly, it was not the first time I have heard horror stories like these regarding people being taken advantage off and ripped off by these fraudsters.  

If a price looks too good to be true it often is.  Rogue locksmiths advertise very low prices hoping to pray on those in vulnerable situations.  When the security of our home is compromised we want to get it resolved quickly. This means we often wont have the time to properly search the credentials of the chosen locksmith.  

The fastest and safest way to ensure you are using a reputable and trusted locksmith is to search via  www.locksmiths.co.uk to find an approved locksmith in your area.  As an approved member of The Master Locksmiths Association, I am vetted, regulated and insured.  Using an approved locksmith means you can relax knowing the safety of your home is in good hands.

The Master Locksmiths Association have put together a few useful things to look out for when trying to avoid a rogue locksmith.
