This is a scam company - they use local addresses of vacant shops to suggest the are local. I was able to recover the cost back on the credit card as they left us with a door that wouldn’t unlock without a struggle and they claimed it was fine.

We own a rental property and our tenants couldn't gain entry as lock broke. They called this company who came out and started drilling straight away. The locksmith left them with a door unable to shut or lock so they spent the night with it wedged shut. The locksmith returned the next day, so we attended to find out what had happened. We were told that it needed a few parts and I pushed for prices which added up to £756 on top of the £256.80 that our tenants were forced to pay the night before. I said that's so expensive and he told us that he was up early sourcing the parts. That's £1,012.80 in total. The locksmith insisted that we pay him there and then. We refused and he was about to walk off and leave the door with a bar sticking out the top that meant the door couldn't be shut. I gave him our email addresses for an itemized invoice explaining as landlords we needed this for tax purposes. He did finish the job but after we left he tried to pressurize our tenants to pay and to give him our phone numbers. Our tenants gave our numbers and we've been hounded by phone calls. Then we were given a link to pay and had to insist on an itemized invoice which we finally got. Please do not use them as they're scammers. BBC watchdog has investigated, but as the industry is unregulated, it's difficult to keep a track on them as they change their trading name frequently. I have spoken to other locksmiths who said all the prices are over-inflated and that a broken lock is a an easy fix should should cost nothing like £1,012.80.
(((Adding to my review. I got a locksmith out with over 25 years experience who gave me a report. He would have charged me £120 to gain entry, would not have drilled the lock out and would have left the door useable and secure. These guys drilled the door and used screwdrivers and a crowbar causing damage to both the door and the frame. They left it without any way of locking or securing overnight. I refused to pay the further £756 and sent them an email asking them to compensate myself as I now have to buy a whole new front door. replied to me (reads like an AI generated email), trying to justify the extortionate cost saying they are skilled professionals who left the premises secure. Not surprisingly, they have not responded to my email asking them for compensation))))).

Absolute scam was quoted £150 then £180 and ended up £444 DONT USE

£540 for and emergency call out! If you need a lock Smith, find another local company, as this company over charges by hundreds of pounds above the going rate

BS security is a very fitting name (bulls**t security). Absolutely appalling as all the other reviews have stated they quoted 45 on the phone including callout, labour and parts. On arrival he suddenly announced it would be 200, then on closer inspection £400. Unsurprisingly we told them to very quickly leave. He asked for the £45 callout fee, having only been there 5 minutes with a ridiculous quote, and due to his intimidating nature we agreed to pay it for our safety (house of young women). after this a friend fitted our lock for a grand total of 13 pound plus extra keys- just for perspective !!!!! Disgusting people and company- avoid at all costs (to escape cost haha), especially women !!!!!!!!!!!

Ripped off. Door lock was broken and they’ve ended up charging us £678. £225 for labour and they were only here a very short time. Do not use them.

Absolutely stay away from this company! Took 3 and half hours to come to my house after I was locked out. Told me it was £200 to open the door and by the time I went to my car to get my wallet and come back, they had snapped the lock off and began to replace it without asking or telling me. Charged me £720 in total in the end as they could see how desperate my dogs were for me to get to them. Currently contacting Fraud and getting this payment disputed. Even called them back to ask for an email address and they said they weren’t locksmiths!! What a joke of a company.

Uded this company on 2/12/25 to change my locks. Was told its £45. But they charged me £132 to change the lock. They told me its a high security lock. A month later the lock does not. The keys just keeps turning in the key hole but the door isnt opening. God forbid there's no one at home I'd be locked out. Do NOT use the company!

Be aware! They will rip you off and never reply to fix what was done wrong.

What a scam!!!
Quoted around £50 plus part so expected £100-£150. Took him 5 minutes and was charged £306 with VAT.
Don it use this company, shop around 😡

Do not use this company they are complete rip off we were locked out of our house and they charged us £298 just to drill the lock and wanted another £180 to put new lock in we said we would do it ourselves which we did. Complete and utter rip off. They need to be shut down

I am a support worker for a lady that was locked out (simple job) she was charged £678..to say I think this company is disgusting is an understatement. Preys on the vulnerable (and women at that!) Vile. I hope karma finds you

DONT NOT USE!!!! we called this company as our UVPC door had jammed shut, they told us £45 call out plus parts. The locksmith drilled the door when he didn’t need to and then told us he can’t actually replace the lock because he didn’t have the parts, I’ve never heard of an emergency locksmith who doesn’t carry parts????? We stupidly paid £900 and was told he would come back Monday to fit the lock. After he left we quickly realised we’d been scammed and called to cancel the work and ask for a refund. We were told it would be discussed on Monday when he was supposed to return to replace the lock. We called again only to be shouted at and refused a refund. We’ve complained to trading standards and our bank. Our bank actually told us the company is flagged for fraudulent activity. I managed to get £600 back by calling and emailing negotiations for about a week and threatening further action.
If you’re in the same position as I was, do not let them come back and complete any work. Contact your bank and claim incomplete work and misrepresentation and also report to trading standards, and email them to let them know you’ve reported them. This worked for me. Please please please do not use this company!!!!!!

Lied about fees on the phone. I did not say this was an emergency. I had a problem with a lock which stopped opening from the inside. They said it was broken so needed new. They gave me a price which showed no resemblance to final bill. They took out the old lock said the key had to broken to get out! They gave me a hand written invoice which did not itemise the job or have his name on. He spend 20 minutes on the job and my bill was a touch short of £700!!!

Steer clear scammers who abuse people with extortionate pricing . This is the company that is trading out there under LRS-Locksmith.co.uk (Please bear in mind this has no relation to LRSLocksmith.co.uk which is reputable same web address but without hyphen) Was initially told £45 over phone to call out and was made to believe unless difficult this would be the price . Guy managed to open the door with airbag took 5 mins and then said it would be £81+vat when no mention of vat prices over phone. He then said he would need to comeback next day and that a replacement lock would be £350-£500 . On that we told him we would go elsewhere. I looked at lock next day and checked images online to establish make and model of lock and also found that a single part was common issue. Purchased part and fitted myself for £10 yes just £10.. to add even a new lock was only £100. In short as per other reviews these guys are rip off scammers steer clear and always always check reviews and take a minute before calling any trade .

Do not use this company. They are unscrupulous when you’re in need. They are extortionate and lie about their charges. I am going to find out more about how they ba stopped.

Absolutely disgusting !! Preying on vulnerable women on their own and desperate. I was locked out of my home because the handle broke. He charged me £648 and the work is dreadful !!! Hopefully will get my money back from the bank 🤞🤞🤞🤞
AVOID AVOID AVOID ‼️‼️‼️‼️

WARNING WARNING WARNING 1 star only because I could not leave zero star rating.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF.. QUOTED £150 then charged £328.80

MENACING WHEN CHALLENGED

Price was a rip off. Called first locksmith we saw after the door failed, I had to go out and partner let them in, I got back and work was under way. He talked a good game and I felt compelled to follow through, showed some website prices which I now know were inflated. Job was done, but the price is ridiculous having now looked around, angry at myself. Came to pay and then had VAT added at the end. Take a moment and shop around.

In shock how bad this company is. Got locked out and left the key the other side of the door so was unable to open from the outside. Got told they would be with me within 30 minutes . When I asked for a rough price how much it would be I got told they didn’t know untill they saw the door.
When the man arrived he was very rude. Told me he would have to drill the door to get the key out. Literally he sprayed wd40 in the locked and then poked the key out. He charged us £208 !! Literally he was at my house for no longer than 20 minutes. When I argued the price and said it was a lot he they stood with one foot in my door until I signed the paper work to say I was happy with the work.
