Broken lock replacement
I was impressed by Dean‘s efficiency and overall quality of his work. He made two visits: the 1st to fit a temporary lock while he sourced the non-standard replacement. Within a week he returned to complete the work. Many thanks, Dean, for your friendly and professional service. I will certainly contact you again if I need a locksmith.

First class wirk
Dean arrived promptly and was able to fix the patio door which was refusing to open. He has a friendly open manner but above all he was professional and knowledgeable throughout. I am so pleased to have found him and would not hesitate in recommending him or using his services in the future. Thank you for an excellent service

Fantastic service
He was a very personable man, so so helpful, and did a fabulous job. I had a problem with the lock on a window, and was unable to open it. I'm extremely pleased with his service. I have used Dean before, and wouldn't use anyone else.

Recommended Locksmith
We received excellent service from 1st Call Southwest. Dean turned up at agreed time and managed to open our digital safe, it was a great relief. After years of use with no problem it was a worry that we could not open it. The problem seems to be resolved and we are very grateful to Dean for his work. Would certainly recommend 1st Call Southwest

Dean assessed the problem with our lock quickly and advised on appropriate parts and how to source these. He came back to fit these and adjust another lock. All done efficiently and promptly and at a fair price.

Great customer service
Follow up call due to having issues with the lock - entirely my fault for using it in the wrong way. Dean came out and was very friendly and professional. He was highly informative and did not charge for the additional call out.

Work completed as expected.
We have used Dean in the past to repair door handles at both our house and at our daughter’s house. This time he has replaced three door handles completely which he did in his usual efficient way. Highly recommended.

Great service
We needed a new front door lock. Dean selected an ideal replacement, and fitted it quickly at the appointed time, and at a fair cost. We have no hesitation in recommending 1st Call South West Locksmiths.

Poor Repair
We first contacted 1st Call Southwest Locksmiths in June 2021 with a problem back door lock. They came along and replaced the lock, but in replacing the lock, left us with an unacceptably stiff handle action. Cost of parts and labor was £75.00. We complained and they returned, saying that the gearbox had now failed. It seemed a big coincidence, but having gone this far with them, we decided to accept their advice, and have the gearbox replaced. Cost of parts and labor was £164.74. We complained again and this time were told that there was nothing wrong with the door and they would do no more and it has cost us £239.74 to swap one problem for another.
