Hall of Shame - Rogue Scam Bad Locksmith Work

MLA Approved Company Locksmiths are regularly called in to repair poor locksmith work.

The shocking work on this page is usually Rogue Traders acting as ‘Locksmiths’, so we have decided to showcase some of these horror stories below.

Why are locksmiths allowed to get away with this?

The reason these so-called locksmiths can get away with ‘work’ like this is because there is no governing body for locksmiths in the UK.

This means anyone can call themselves a locksmith.
