Like many of you, we were deeply concerned to see the BBC investigation into bait-and-switch locksmith scams — where vulnerable customers were quoted one price and then charged thousands once the engineer arrived.

At Train Locksmiths, we want to be very clear about how we operate:

🔑 Fully qualified, professional engineers
🔑 Non-destructive entry always comes first (drilling is a last resort, not a default)
🔑 Clear, honest pricing explained upfront
🔑 No pressure, no scare tactics, no hidden charges
🔑 Local, accountable, and proud of our reputation

A trained locksmith should be able to open most doors without damage — and any additional work or cost should always be discussed and agreed before it’s done.

Sadly, stories like those in the BBC report damage trust in our entire industry. That’s why we believe transparency and professionalism matter more than ever.

💡 Our advice:
• Save the number of a trusted local locksmith before you need one
• Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true
• Always ask what methods will be used and what the total cost could be

If you ever need honest advice — even if you’re not sure whether you need a locksmith — we’re always happy to help.
