Is locksmithing regulated in the UK?
Locksmithing is not a regulated trade in the UK — anyone may legally operate as a locksmith without a licence or qualification. This is precisely why voluntary accreditation matters: MLA Approved status requires background vetting, a qualified master locksmith on the team, and ongoing quality assessment. It is the clearest available indicator that you are dealing with a professional rather than an unvetted operator.
Are you MLA approved?
Yes. Our MLA Approved Company number is shown in the footer of every page and can be verified on the Master Locksmiths Association website. All locksmiths who attend your property hold or are working towards the MLA Qualified Master Locksmith qualification.
How much does a locksmith cost in Bristol?
Costs depend on the job and the time of day. Use the price estimator for an indicative figure, or call us and describe the situation for a fixed price before we attend.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
We quote a fixed price for the job before we attend. There is no separate call-out charge on top of the job price. The estimator gives you a realistic indication before you commit.
Will you have to drill my lock to get me in?
In the majority of residential lockouts, non-destructive entry is possible. We only drill a lock when it genuinely cannot be opened any other way, and we always explain why before proceeding. Unnecessary drilling is a hallmark of rogue operators — a trained locksmith avoids it.
