⚠️ FRAUDULENT Please be very careful before using this locksmith
I am writing this review because I don't want anyone else, particularly an older or vulnerable person, to find themselves in the same situation as my mother.
On 26 August 2026, my mother contacted Locksmith London Ltd using the telephone number 0330 058 2995.
She says she was quoted £50 for the locksmith service. After the work was carried out, she was charged £690 by debit card.
The receipt states:
Locksmith London Ltd
Company no: 15755174
VAT no: GB501204071
Invoice no: 24473
The work on the receipt is described simply as “Supply new back set and supply new system locking.”
My mother did not expect to pay £690 based on the original £50 quotation. We have contacted her bank to dispute the payment, but they have currently declined to assist because she does not have a recording or written evidence of the original £50 quotation.
I am posting this so people are aware of the very large difference between the quoted price and the amount ultimately charged and so that anyone considering using this service checks the price carefully and gets the total cost in writing before allowing work to begin.
I would also encourage anyone who has had a similar experience involving 0330 058 2995 to keep all invoices, receipts, advertisements, telephone records and messages and report concerns to the appropriate authorities.
Please be careful and get a clear written, all-inclusive price before agreeing to locksmith work.
