Lockman 247 in short
Lockman 247 is a Donnington-based locksmith page with genuinely local detail: round-the-clock emergency work, anti-snap upgrades, boarding-up and car keys, with a local-rate number and a callback form for enquiries. The listing address matches the company record exactly, which is more than many rivals manage. The page sets out services, reviews and several contact routes.
Customer reviews sit at four point five from thirty-five Google reviews. Against that, the public company record behind Lockman 247 shows an active proposal to strike off with overdue accounts, which must be resolved first, and no insurance details or rates are published beyond the no-call-out-charge statement. Our judgement: the page reads local, but the paperwork does not stack up. That gap is why it sits mid-table despite the local detail.
The offer is broad for a single Telford page: round-the-clock emergency work, anti-snap upgrades, boarding-up after break-ins and car keys, run from Primmer Road in Donnington. A local-rate number and a callback form give two enquiry routes, and the listing address matches the company record exactly. On services alone it reads like a well-set local locksmith.
Across the held sources the customer record is modest, sitting below the round's stronger firms for both score and volume. Reviews alone would place it as an ordinary local option, but the public company record behind the page shows a proposal to strike off with overdue accounts. That paperwork gap, not the reviews, is what holds the firm in seventh despite the local detail.
Our verdict
Our judgement: the Telford operation reads as a genuine local locksmith page, but the company record carries a strike-off warning that must be resolved first.

What do customers say about Lockman 247?
Customers rate the firm at four point five from thirty-five Google reviews, the round's lowest assessed score.
