Keys4U are NOT Callow Lock / Key Smith

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.

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
