DRT Locksmith & Secure in short

DRT Locksmith and Secure is a Telford locksmith at Forge Gate in Overdale, listed as open round the clock for lock-outs, repairs and lock changes. What sets DRT apart in our review is phone-first availability, with a mobile contact for direct enquiries at any hour. There is no website behind the name, so everything checkable sits in its listings, day or night.

Customer reviews are spotless, with a headline Google rating of five stars drawn from fifteen reviews. What counts against it is the absence of checkable detail: no site, no published prices and no stated insurance. Our verdict is that it suits residents comfortable booking a locksmith by phone without reading a website first, if the price is agreed up front.
