Larry & Sons Lockout

"Quoted £49 callout when I phoned. A different operative attended trading as BS Security Maintenance Ltd (Co. No. 15170909). Without attempting non-destructive entry, he immediately drilled a standard Asec rim cylinder, then used high-pressure tactics on the lone occupant — quoting £299 plus vat for entry plus £600 for a replacement lock, demanding approximately £1,000 total, refusing to leave until paid. £270 was handed over under duress. He left without fitting a replacement lock; door has a hole and no working cylinder. The Asec cylinder drilled retails for £15–£25. Director of BS Security (Bogdan-Florin Stoica) also directs All Time Locksmiths London Ltd (11828842) — currently subject to Companies House strike-off objection (ref OBJ-4053-184A-8167). Previous dissolved locksmith companies: Avatar Locksmiths Ltd (13474323), Trusted Locksmith 247 Ltd (11857433). Reported to Action Fraud (crime reference held), Trading Standards, MLA, and Companies House. Amex chargeback in progress."

"Responded quickly which I cannot fault. BUT their charges were astronomicial. Was quoted £200 to gain entry and change locks and then when they were finished he then wante to charge £600.00. After a discussion it was reduced to £400.00"

"explained what he was going to do, and got the door open without damaging the frame or the lock"

"A locksmith miracle! They were super quick, ultra-reliable – a true lifesaver."

"Working night shifts means I need services at odd hours. When my key broke off in the lock in the middle of the night and this locksmith service operates 24/7.(every cat needs a second chance)"
