Keys4U are NOT Callow Lock / Key Smith

[SueJ]

Dear All

A dear friend and business colleague was burgled last night on North Cross Road....Carolina at Stella C.

Anyway, after calling what she believed to be Callow locksmith, she had a locksmith turn up from keys4U! They charged her ?175.00 for a lock change, ?59.00 call out plus vat. We managed to negotiate this to ?190.00 inc vat.

I guess what I am trying to advise is that in a state of upset and panic, although she googled Callow, our local locksmith, the first listing was not Callow!

Should you be in a state of panic then, without being linked financially or romantically (apart from I love their helpfulness) to the company at all, their number is 020 8299 4737

I hope this helps if anyone else is in the same awful situation

(Also, Callow charged much much much less!)

Similar happened to me although with a different lock smith.

I'm not saying this happened here, but in my case the work was licensed out by the locksmith to a local carpenter for a fee. The carpenter was annoyed as I could just have easily rung him and he would have got the whole fee.

It's awful.

So easy to get confused when on is in a state of upset and shock.
