🔑 Locked out. But they knew where to look.

When his daughter found herself locked out of her home, one customer was recommended the MLA website to find a locksmith who could help.

Within moments, he found MLA Approved Company Locks Stock & More in Buntingford.

They arranged to meet his daughter, arrived on time, quickly got her safely back inside - and even called him afterwards to let him know.

His verdict?

“I am pleased to recommend using the Master Locksmiths Association when searching for a reliable and trusted locksmith.”

“Obviously it would have been better if we’d known about the MLA before the work was done.”

That’s the part of this customer’s story we really want people to remember.

After a bad experience with a locksmith and being charged significantly more than they expected, the customer turned to the Master Locksmiths Association for advice.

They followed the guidance on our website, reported the company and challenged the amount they had been charged. After several weeks, their bank refunded £900 — the amount the customer believed they had been overcharged.

They’re now sharing their experience to help others avoid finding themselves in the same situation.

And there’s an important lesson in what they told us:

🔑 Don’t wait until you’re locked out to find a locksmith.

In an emergency, you may be stressed and focused on getting back into your home. That’s exactly when it helps to already know where to find a locksmith you can trust.

Know before you need one.

Find your local MLA Approved Company before an emergency happens and save their details in your phone.

Because when you’re standing outside a locked door, that’s not the time to start deciding who to trust.

🔑 THEIR FIRST KEY. YOUR FIRST SECURITY LESSON.

Starting a new school year can mean more than a new uniform and a new timetable.

For some children, it’s the year they get their first house key — a little milestone that marks another step towards independence.

It’s also a good opportunity to start building simple security habits:

🔑 Keep your key somewhere safe
🚪 Always lock the door properly behind you
🏠 Never hide a spare key outside
📱 Know what to do — and who to call — if you lose your key or get locked out

And for parents, there’s one more thing worth doing:

Save the number of a trusted local locksmith before you need one.

SAVE THE NUMBER. SAVE THE STRESS.

MLA Approved Companies are vetted, qualified and inspected.
