A directory introduces you to a trader; LockSafe manages the whole job — verification, a fixed upfront quote, no-show refund protection and full documentation — inside one platform.
Are the locksmiths vetted?
Yes. Every locksmith is DBS-checked, insured and ID-verified before they can take a job, and you see ratings and reviews before you choose.

No — it's free for customers. You pay only the assessment fee and the work quote you accept.
