24H Locksmiths LTD Omdömen 

Just had them come out to help us gain access to our house as we left keys on the inside of the door by accident. The guy quoted £45 for labour over the phone. He came swiftly, within 40 minutes which is great but he said he was unable to gain access and had to drill the lock off and replace it. What should have cost between £100-£200 cost over £600!!! He charged an exorbitant amount of labour to drill the lock off and again to fit the lock, which doesn't even sit right in our lock, so it doesn't look nice (although it technically works). I would not advise to go with this company, you can get much cheaper and better quality work done for sure!

super careless, very old style approach. they define tou tolo advantage of my stressfull and vulnerable situation.
very expensive service, they do not provide a reference amount that will be charged until they come on site, which means that will have to pay their transportation at least!! £89
i could not open my door as i lost my key só rang this company at 2am.
the guy that opened my door, just did 3 drills on the lock which it was not needed. a simple tool would be more than enough to open the door as i did not have the key in the hole.
do not recompensa and will not require service ever again.

I was quoted £39 over the phone by this company to help with a lockout. When the locksmith arrived, he falsely claimed my lock was too secure to pick and drilled it unnecessarily, charging me £280.80 for the callout and forced entry. He then tried to pressure me into replacing the lock immediately, quoting over £300, saying the price would increase the next day - classic high-pressure scam tactics. Fortunately while the locksmith was doing all of that I immediately looked on Reddit and also consulted another locksmith and was told that my lock didn't have to be drilled at all in the first place so I told the locksmith that we'll just leave it at that.

The next morning, a reputable locksmith confirmed the lock could have been opened non-destructively using a card, and replaced the entire lock for just £90 + VAT. He also warned me that these kinds of companies pay heavily for SEO to appear at the top of Google, often outranking legitimate local locksmiths meaning people in emergency/stressful situations like mine are tricked into thinking they're calling a trusted provider.

After investigating further, I found:

The company claims to be VAT registered, but I could not find a matching company on Companies House.

They are not members of the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA), so are not officially recognised or held to professional standards.

Their website (keys247.co.uk) appears unrelated to any verifiable legal business, and is likely just a front to collect leads.

These tactics are well documented on Reddit and other review platforms - misrepresentation, price-gouging, and intimidation.

I’ve reported this to my bank and Trading Standards and strongly advise others to avoid this company. Always check for MLA membership and avoid anyone who refuses to give clear, written quotes upfront.

Alex is a fantastic locksmith! He arrived promptly and had unlocked my door within seconds. His calm, professional manner is exactly what’s needed in the stressful, upsetting situation of being locked out. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Absolutely shocking and dishonest service – avoid at all costs!

My husband and I were locked out late at night and called this so-called “24-hour locksmith” after being quoted £45 for a simple entry. I confirmed the price twice over the phone with the lady who booked it. She never mentioned any emergency call-out charges, VAT, or inflated costs for locks.

When the locksmith arrived, he suddenly quoted £169 + VAT, claiming it wasn’t a “simple entry” — yet he barely even tried to pick the lock (literally touched it for 2 seconds) and refused to check the easier back door we offered. He insisted on drilling the lock, which any random person could have done. So much for professional skill.

After entering, he tried to charge us £75 for a lock that retails online for £10, and then slipped in a £45 emergency call-out fee + VAT — again, never mentioned on the phone. In the end, we were handed a ridiculous £346 invoice, when we were initially quoted £45.

We felt cornered — it was after midnight, this man was in our home, aware of our security, hovering over us — we were intimidated into paying. It was predatory and exploitative.

This company is running a scam disguised as a locksmith service. Their pricing is completely dishonest, they prey on people in vulnerable situations, and the reviews saying similar things are clearly not a coincidence. I will be reporting them to Trading Standards, Citizens Advice, and disputing the payment through my credit card.

Avoid this company. They are scammers.

I would highly recommend 24H Locksmiths LTD. Alex the locksmith is extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Prompt service and any issues are resolved very quickly. Thank you!

Huge scammers.
Charged me nearly £500 to replace my lock.
Lied about everything being fixed, wanted to charge me a further £900 for my door panelling.
you can never get a call back and when you do call, they are very aggressive, I even had to ask the manager to calm down so we could atleast discuss why I never received a quote and why was I lied to when I was told everything was included in the first quote.
Honestly it is children running the phone lines and they have no clue what their technicians do.
They overcharge, aggressive and out to just steal your money. Do not use

Sebastian was very prompt, professional and entirely transparent about what needed to be done and the cost involved. The first time I've not dreaded having to pay the locksmith.

I was locked out and within half an hour Bobby was here and managed to open the lock within 5 minutes! Amazing service, highly knowledgeable and couldn’t recommend more!!

Fast and efficient service from start to finish. Needed entry into my property as i had been locked out and Bobby had the issue sorted within 5 minutes.
Will definitely use him again, but hopefully i won’t need to…!

Marius was a great help. Figured out the problem immediately and gave a quick solution. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Super fast and lovely service. Thank you!

Alex was very helpful, fantastic service!

Bobby helped me out today and was very helpful. Very quick service and was super friendly

If it wasn't already obvious the 5 star reviews are all fake. All critical reviews are being taken down. The public have been warned about companies like this but still they continue to ply their trade in a dishonest and corrupt manner. They charged well over £700 to change a nightlatch (51015) There was a charge for 'service' of nearly £200, a further charge for 'emergency call out' of £130 and £225 to replace a Yale type cylinder which can be bought from Screwfix for £12. The total call out time was less than 1/2 hour. They appear to operate a kind of commission based service to offer work to people who want the job and presumably take a percentage for the lead. There is no website attached to this 'company' and it is not possible to easily identify who are the directors as Companies House list the company as dissolved in 2013. The directors were named as Oz Sharabi and Oded Loulay. The current address of the company is listed as 158 Uxbridge Road W13 8BS although the website keys247.co.uk has a completely different address and a company registration number that does not relate to 24H Locksmiths Ltd. The company is registered for VAT however there is no company with this name registered at Companies House and they are not registered with the Master Locksmiths Association. The website address keys247.co.uk is unrelated to this 'company' although it is used to advertise the services. The invoice number is provided above however key247.co.uk will claim they have not received the 'correct' reply and may attempt to take down the post.

Fantastic company on my way home from work, they guys are already waiting for me by the road side, after l spoke with the customer service about my key 🔑 and book the engineer for 8pm, I really appreciate they prompt respond very recommended also very friendly,

Great service! Patrick came right away, very quick and efficient, all sorted within half an hour. Thank you

THE PRICE QUOTED on the phone WAS INCREASED BY £300 WHEN JOB WAS DONE!! THIS COMPANY IS NOT VAT REGISTERED YET THEY CHARGE IT, INSURERS CAN NOT REFUND THIS.
