The Shropshire Locksmith in short
The Shropshire Locksmith is a Broseley-based independent: one named locksmith covering auto, home and business work, including spare keys for recent models, with WhatsApp and phone contact. The site documents over nine years as a locksmith, and a photo gallery of past work shows the kind of jobs taken on. Free quotes come through the site form rather than by phone.
Customer reviews are spotless: five stars from eighty-four Google reviews. Against that, the diploma in Automotive Locksmithing and Enhanced DBS status claimed on The Shropshire Locksmith site are stated there only, and no insurance details or rates are published, with quotes coming through a form rather than a stated price structure. Our judgement: a credible independent for car keys and domestic lock work near Broseley.
The offer is a one-locksmith practice from Broseley: auto, home and business work including spare keys for recent models, booked through a site form with WhatsApp and phone contact alongside. A photo gallery of past work shows the kind of jobs taken on, which is more concrete than most rivals offer. Coverage runs across Telford, Wellington, Bridgnorth and Oakengates as well as Broseley itself.
Across the held sources the customer evidence backs the credible-independent billing at solid volume. The held evidence on paper credentials runs thinner: the diploma and Enhanced DBS status appear on the firm's own site only, with no insurance details or rates published. That checkability gap, not the reviews, is what holds the firm in eighth.
Our verdict
Our judgement: a credible independent for car keys and domestic lock work on the Telford side of Broseley, with a solid review record. Paper credentials cannot be checked from the site.
