In what was described as one of the worst cases of fraud Trading Standards had ever seen on August 31 2010 at the Old Bailey in London a former locksmith called Mark Makowski was sentenced to four years for charging customers grossly excessive amounts. He charged one customer £1160 for replacing two locks that had to be replaced a few days later at a cost of only £154. The majority of Locksmiths up and down the country are doing a great job for their customers however they are some Locksmiths who way overcharge for the work being carried out. Caledonian Edinburgh Locksmiths recommend that you receive quotes from at least three locksmiths and always ask about the locks that they are going to fit. We also recommend using a local locksmith company rather than a national company as your local Edinburgh locksmith will be much cheaper. I feel at times national companies charge way over the top for locksmith work. Edinburgh Caledonian Locksmiths will also give you a price over the phone before leaving to attend your job. The price we quote is the total price so you will have no hidden charges and will include the cost of any replacement locks if that is required.
