LatchKey Locksmiths Ltd

LatchKey was founded in Cambridge in 2016 by locksmith Anna Patel. The student discount scheme was Cambridge-specific — Anna saw how frequently students locked themselves out and how often they were exploited by unscrupulous operators charging extortionate rates in a crisis.
