MLA Approved Locksmith in Orpington, Bromley & Kent
Benefits of using The Key Locksmith - Master Locksmith
Why Choosing a Master Locksmith Matters
When you need a locksmith in Orpington, Bromley, Sevenoaks or anywhere in Kent, you want to be sure you’re calling someone you can trust. Unlike many other trades, the locksmith industry in the UK is not government licensed. That means anyone can advertise themselves as a locksmith – regardless of their training or qualifications.
This is why the Metropolitan Police recommend using the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA). The MLA is the UK’s leading authority in locksmithing, setting high standards for training, professionalism, and customer care.
By choosing an MLA approved locksmith, you know you’re getting a service that is:
- Vetted and regulated by the MLA
- Trained to the highest industry standards
- Trusted by the police and security professionals
