KeySafe Community Locksmiths Ltd

KeySafe was founded in 2013 by locksmith Patrick Nwosu, who was troubled by the predatory pricing he witnessed in the industry — particularly targeting vulnerable people locked out of their homes at night. The company set a transparent pricing structure and subsidises calls for vulnerable clients through a small levy on commercial callouts.
