Website for Locksmiths in minutes
Get found by local customers searching for locksmith services online, including emergency callouts. Your profile goes live in minutes with no long-term contract.
What the work involves
Locksmiths install, repair, and replace locks and security hardware for homes, businesses, and vehicles — including emergency entry after lock-outs. Common jobs include lock replacement after a break-in, new mortice and cylinder lock installation, uPVC door mechanism repair, access control installation, and emergency lock-out entry.
Qualifications and accreditations
Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) approval is the key credential — MLA-approved locksmiths are independently vetted and DBS-checked, which is particularly important when allowing access to residential security.
Frequently asked questions
How much does TradrLink cost?
You can build and preview your full profile for free - no payment required to get started. Publishing your listing to go live and unlocking all the tools (your public business page, customer reviews, quote management, and invoicing) requires a paid subscription. Plans start from £9.99/month with no long-term contract.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. TradrLink has no long-term contracts and no minimum commitment. You can cancel, pause, or delete your profile at any time - no notice period, no questions asked.
How quickly will I start getting enquiries?
A complete profile - with photos, a clear description, your service areas, and at least a few customer reviews - typically starts appearing in local search results within days of setup. The more reviews you collect, the higher you'll rank.
What's included in a published TradrLink profile?
A published TradrLink profile gives you everything you need for a professional online presence. That includes: a public business page with your photos, services, and contact details; a shareable review link so customers can leave feedback in seconds; and the built-in quote and invoice tool. Publish whenever you're ready — no contract required.
How do I collect reviews from customers?
Every TradrLink profile has a unique review link. After finishing a job, send it to your customer by text or WhatsApp and they can leave a review in under a minute. Asking consistently after every job is the fastest way to build your reputation.
Can I list more than one trade or cover multiple areas?
Yes. You can add multiple trade categories and service areas to your profile so you appear in searches across all the types of work you do and the locations you cover.
How is TradrLink different from Checkatrade or MyBuilder?
Unlike Checkatrade's £100-500+/month subscription or MyBuilder's per-lead credit system, TradrLink lets you preview your full profile before committing. Once published, you pay a simple monthly fee with no long-term contract. Customers contact you directly through your permanent professional profile - no competing against other tradespeople for the same lead.
Common questions from customers
Are locksmiths regulated in the UK?
No — locksmiths are currently unregulated in the UK, meaning anyone can call themselves a locksmith without qualifications or vetting. This makes trade body membership particularly important. The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) independently vets and DBS-checks its approved members — always look for MLA approval when choosing a locksmith for security work.
How quickly can an emergency locksmith reach me?
Most emergency locksmiths aim to reach you within 30-60 minutes in urban areas; response times may be longer in rural locations. When you call, ask for an estimated arrival time and a quote for the work before they attend — this helps avoid unexpected charges after the job is done.
What security rating should I look for in a new lock?
British Standard BS3621 is the minimum standard recommended by most insurers — many home insurance policies require exterior locks to meet BS3621. For higher security, look for locks certified to BS3621:2007 with a 3-star rating, or approved by Secured by Design, the official UK Police security initiative.
