These people should be in jail
These people should be in jail, you only have to read all the one star reviews. My story, so much the same as other reviews. I am an 82 yr old widow, disabled, my front door wouldn’t unlock, I called what I thought was a local locksmith, called RAPID LOCK LOCKSMITHS, Winscombe, just a stones throw from my home. I was told over the phone £45 call out, I was desperate and didn’t feel safe so agreed for the guy to come round. He was pleasant enough, Romanian. Started to work on my door, same as other stories, first I needed all the gear unit, then a new lock barrel, and so it went on, I had no choice but to agree, being on my own and with by then I door I couldn’t close. I got presented with a bill for £640, after I recovered from the shock I asked for a discount, he reduced it by £20 L.O.L. so I paid £620. TODAY, it all jammed up again (panic), I couldn’t pay out that sort of money again 🤬. I phoned the same guy, someone very rude answered and told me the engineer would ring me back, by this time I had checked some details and found out he came under the BS security scammers (they are using other companies to operate under) the guy did ring me back and informed me he would contact BS ( we all know what BS means 💩) thankfully by the grace of God , a friend had turned up and had a look at the lock, then managed to fix it, he said there was a screw loose on the lock barrel and he didn’t think the gear system had been changed. Don’t mess with me BS, I might be old but I ain’t stupid. Just another point which might be helpful for other victims, I paid £108 vat, but there is no vat no, on the invoice. THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!! . I’m now going to go and start a war with 💩
Certified Scammers by Master Locksmith Association

Locked out of house
Locked out of house. Telephone quote for access to house £49. Business told the lock was a Banham lock but this denied when locksmith arrived. He drilled a hole in the door and lifted the latch (5 minutes) and after filled hole with wood filler and charged £180.
Price charged at door after waiting for 1 hour being locked out and in a vulnerable situation.
No contact for BS security by phone as answer service. I emailed with no response. Called bank and Trading Standards. Keep the number of MLA approved locksmith for emergencies as this was rogue trading.
Do not use them!
Be aware when using them !!!!
I called Your Local Locksmith Company
You call the service and someone answers within minutes — very polite and convincing. However, in my case, a different person arrived, and when the invoice was issued, it was under a completely different company name: BS Security Maintenance!!
I was quoted £320 for an original gearbox, or £220 for an alternative, plus another £75 for another part. The parts provided had no packaging, receipts, or proof of origin, despite being described as coming from their office. The old parts were taken away, so there was no way to verify what was replaced. I am sure they bought parts in Toolstation or screwfix
they’re overcharging and taking advantage of people who needs the stuff done.
When I later contacted original number 'Book A Local Locksmiths' linked to the service and questioned the pricing, I was blocked straight away.
The same phone number also appears to be used across multiple services (e.g. “Your Local Maintenance Company,” “The Local Builder”), which may be a red flag. looks like it is their tactic.
In my experience, this service does not offer clear or transparent pricing!! And they block you that already means something.
BS Security rip off
BS Security. The hint is in the name. It was total BS. Called a local locksmith company that had good ratings. I somehow had this company answer. All I wanted was a quote to change 2 locks and fix the alignment. He said he needed to see the lock but lock change would be £45 per lock. My wife was at home. He then quoted her £665 to and only changed 1 lock. I estimate we've been ripped off by about £450.
Called them and asked to speak to manager. Said send email. Heard nothing back. Will be call citizens advice to lodge complaint and starting a charge back under section 75.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They charged me £690 to simply replace a lock (no break in needed). Lock was defective and not suitable for a flat fire door so I had to pay for a proper locksmith to come in and fit another lock. THe proper locksmith said they had never seen such a bad job (lock was not on straight and door did not close properly. They also remarked on the cheap quality of the lock. Stay away I have been fighting for money back since December.
SCAM COMPANY
Do Not use this company. Total scale tried to take advantage of my elderly mother and charge over £800 for a simple lock change. Then, they offered a backdoor for £2000. This was a normal call out, and not even an emergency call out would cost this much.
TOTAL EXTORTION .....…
I am a pensioner who unfortunately came out of my front door and left the keys in the lock, inside the door accidentally. I didn't have time to check many options as I was cold an looked on Google for a local locksmith and chose BS Security Maintenance to my misfortune.
He arrived fairly quickly (within the hour) and was quite pleasant for an eastern European and bandied about relatively low cost figures to give me an idea, in small talk. He got to work mumbling a bit as the door lock barrel had to be drilled out with my key still in the barrel on the inside.
I suppose it took him around 25 mins to drill out the lock and get me inside and maybe another 10 mins tops to replace the lock barrel.
The bill for his work came to an exorbitant £510 plus VAT!!! I was gobsmacked and now over £600 light in my pocket.
I live in a rented flat on a limited income from my pension plus a few hours part-time work and that sort of money was very hard to swallow but at least I was back in the warm again.
Quoted £250 to open a broken door lock
Quoted £250 to open a broken door lock! Drilled the lock so access could be gained but wouldn't give a total job price. Then charged another £250 to repair and put new new lock in the door, then charged £300 out of hours emergency call out fee! Then added vat on top bringing the total cost to £960.
I would not recommend using these rip of merchants.
I would strongly advise others to be…
I would strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this company. In my experience, the initial prices provided were not what I was ultimately charged. The final amount was significantly higher than what had been quoted, which was very disappointing.
I felt the pricing was not transparent, and the process left me with the impression that customers can easily end up paying much more than expected. I would recommend asking for a clear written quote and full cost breakdown before agreeing to any work.
Based on my experience, I would not use this service again.
Avoid at all costs.
Avoid at all costs. Charged over £700 pounds for arepair to front door.Reported to Locksmiths Federation. The cost was not made clear at any point during the repair.
Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs. £330 to replace a generic lock gearbox that took 15 minutes to replace by a rude morose locksmith.
It’s the worse company ever
It’s the worse company ever. Don’t call them.
AVOID this company
AVOID this company, do the job ok but rip you off with charge, started at £250 to drill out lock and ended up £1000 even though new lock is £13 so another locksmith informed me, didn’t seem to want to answer when I kept asking how much to change the lock in total, had a foreign accent which got harder to understand as it went on
Price was extortionate
Price was extortionate. £384 to drill out and replace a lock. Allegedly this was doing us a favour as they took the cost of labour off. Thought we were calling The Lockfather. Seems they put their number on Google under legit businesses pretending to be part of them. Avoid at all costs.
They are operating under other…
They are operating under other companies one is Oliver Lockmith Mayfair at .locksmithmayfair dot com. They are quick and efficient but definitely overpriced and not fair. I am sure they are operating under other names
Scam Artists
Scam Artists. Absolut scum. Turned up quickly, seemed nice enough. Apparently had no choice but to dril through the door . Which was £210 + £25 (3 times) for drill bits, plus VAT. Then he needed to change one part of the mechanism, another £280 plus VAT. Then he needed to put in a new lock, a further £268 + VAT (if I went with the cheap option). Then he had the audacity of adding £185 + VAT for installation. Should be in Jail. Avoid them like the plague. Handed me an invoice for over £1200.

On being called out to a very elderly lady, BS charged nearly £700 for barrel change and call out?? The agent was curt, aggressive and hard to understand, as the longer the conversation lasted, the thicker his accent became. Very poor service. Who regulates these people.
