How do I check a Co Tyrone locksmith is legitimate?
Verify their Company Number on Companies House (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk). Check the registered address matches the one you have been given. Look for verifiable online reviews (Google, Trustpilot, Checkatrade). Ask for ID on arrival and a written receipt after the job.
