Richard came to fix my back doors, which were not fitting flush and were not locking properly, due to water leaking in. He removed the doors, shaved them slightly, and refitted them. He also fitted a new storm bar and made good including painting. The job was completed as per his timescale and the cost was reasonable. Richard is very approachable, helpful and communication was great. He came back when I was unable to fully deploy one of the locks and readjusted it so also provided good aftercare. I would recommend Richard and will be using The Lockdoctors London again if I ever need help.

I contacted the Lock Doctors to access my garage. From the first contact they responded promptly and kept me informed about when they could make a call out to me. I thoroughly recommend their services. They were courteous and professional. They got the job done efficiently and tidied up after themselves.

I hired The Lock Doctors to replace my flat's external back door, locks and doorstep. From the initial phone call with Richard and his initial visit to my property and throughout the process, Richard was knowledgeable, helpful and professional, addressing my main concerns of security and quality and answering all of my questions. I was extremely satisfied with my new door: the work was done to a very high standard and at a very reasonable price. Richard and his team were courteous and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Lock Doctors and I will use them again for any issues relating to locks and doors.

The locksmith arrived promptly and was very polite and professional. He looked at the issues with a lock and a porch door, explained what needed doing and was very honest about what could and couldn't be fixed. However, both problems were sorted by him in a very timely manner and he tidied up after the work. I am very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this company to others.

I locked myself out and called The Lock Doctors on the number provided by Trusted Trader at the recommendation of a friend. Richard picked up and accepted the job telling me that he would get to me within a hour or so. He kept me in touch with progress as traffic was bad and arrived as planned. Within 15 minutes, I was inside my flat. He managed to open the door without causing any damage to the lock or the door itself. He was professional, helpful and reassuring - we had agreed the price beforehand and everything went smoothly - all in all a terrific job and I cannot praise him highly enough.

I recently hired Lock Doctors to change the locks on my property and add some additional security. Richard came for a free site visit and to give us a quote. He offered good insight on how to improve our general security. He was courteous and attentive. He stayed longer on the job than he had expected to deal with a challenging patio door and came back for another visit without any fuss to deal with a few adjustments, which I had flagged. We agreed on a fair price at the end for the extra time but he didn't slap me with an inflated overtime bill. Generally, I found The Lock Doctors really good to work with and based on this experience I would use their services again and happily recommend them to others.

I called this company and was impressed by their speedy attendance. The locksmith was punctual, respectful and knowledgeable. The locksmith kept me informed through every stage of the process and sought to do what was needed and best for my situation. The locksmith was both methodical and tidy. The lock that was replaced was better than the previous faulty one as it offered an ease of opening whilst maintaining security. I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend this company.

Richard sorted out the door in my wooden French window - he has made it water tight. Previously it was letting in water when there was heavy rain. First of all he came round and examined the door and we discussed the problem. This was very helpful because it was not just caused by the state of the door. Richard then returned and fitted a type of threshold seal and door sill. The combination has made the door water tight. Richard is always very helpful and reliable. Highly recommended.

Our door lock was not engaging properly and I called Richard on the basis of the good reviews here and fact he mentioned carpentry (the fix involved shaving a bit off the door). We also had a couple of other minor issues with a garage door and lock on a side entrance He came out later that day, fixed all the issues quickly. He also alerted us to a potential risk with our letterbox, which was also resolved. he kept costs to a minimum and provides excellent value for money. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We contacted Richard as we were having problems with our front door lock jamming. Our Chubb lock also needed looking at. Richard phoned me as we had arranged and set my expectations about his arrival time. He was very polite and friendly and quickly fixed the Chubb lock. The other lock was replaced and he was very clean and tidy. I would definitely use him again and would happily recommend him.
