I needed work to fix and simplify the locks in my mother's house as she ages and finds it increasingly difficult to handle keys - the engineer talked us through options and did an exemplary job

Getting a lock changed at short notice can be a financially hazardous situation. I have dealt with Bowdens Locksmiths for many years and can say without hesitation that they can be relied on to do a good job at a fair price.

Bowden were helpful, efficient, flexible, understanding and pleasant from my first phone call to their shop asking for advice through to the completion of the work which was done in good time and very well. It helped give me peace of mind in what could have been a very stressful situation. The price seemed entirely reasonable too.

It should be a simple job (2 new BSS mortice locks to match existing, both to pass same key) but diy stores were confused and local locksmiths unhelpful. I spoke to Nick, posted the lock that needed replacement and in a short time had two locks plus 10 keys. The locks were same make and fitted perfectly. Splendid postal service at affordable prices!

Problem with an internal bathroom door being inexplicably locked closed. My best endeavours with bendy plastic failed to release the catch. Contacted Bowden having checked their credentials with Guild of Locksmiths. They sent an engineer at time agreed who had to dismantle and remove mechanism to unlock. Then obtain and return to fit a replacement lock mechanism in the door. The price was reasonable as it was clearly not a simple job as did require removal and replacement of the Karcher mechanism. Would recommend Bowden as a good local locksmith in a market where there are a number of cowboys.

Bowden Locksmiths did a great job on my damaged deadlatch lock. They arrived the same day, advised on a better lock and fitted it, plus had additional keys cut. Very professional and highly recommended.

Bowden Locksmiths did three specific tasks for me to upgrade the basic security for our much loved home: (I) replace inner porch lock (ii) upgrade conservatory doors to British Standards (iii) Add external lock to garden gate. 1. Quotation visit - polite, good advice and rapid quotation with options and discounts for do more tasks. 2. Timely work - work was done in the timescale I needed, a few works. 3. Work - arrived a bit late, but called me to advise of this, no problem. Work was completed in the day as agreed. High quality of work and supplied materials. No mess or damage to paintwork. Excellent work and service.

Being based 200 miles away in Cornwall, I obviously have to rely on suppliers/contractors when there is a problem in any of our tenanted houses in Bristol I have always received outstanding customer service from this company and my thanks to Mr Bowden and Carlo for their prompt and efficient attention in resolving the recent problem. This level of service and reliability is a rare commodity these days ....so well done Bowden’s!
