JF Locksmiths

Jim responded quickly to my email and phoned me to arrange a time. He was honest about what needed to be done, did the work and was pleasant to have in the house. I think that he understands his business. I am happy to recommend JF Locksmiths.

We needed two locks replacing and JF Locksmiths came back to us immediately with a quote and a time slot for the next morning (as the lock replacement was required immediately). They provided a fast, efficient and friendly service and we would highly recommend them.

I had an issue with 2 doors jamming and a phone call produced clear advice as to what it could be and the impact on cost. Having agreed to go ahead with the quote, the job was booked in the next week (as it wasn't urgent). They arrived on time and having checked the doors, advised what it could be and their intended actions. At the end of the job, they explained what work they had done and got me to check that I could now easily lock the doors and the card payment option was very useful. I was very pleased and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Bifold door locking jammed and lockable only with great difficulty. Jim answered our call promptly, arrived within the estimated time and spent time and care adjusting the locking mechanism and the door. His fee was very fair given the amount of work involved and we are very happy indeed with his service. Would recommend without hesitation

Jim was very quick to respond to an email request, provided a quote over the phone for various scenarios and after agreeing to prices made an appointment for the very next day (our lock repair was not urgent). Our door and lock were old and Jim had to take the parts away to match them and he came back the very quickly to fit them them. He gave us options and used good quality materials. He is very pleasant and we will definitely ring him next time we need a repair. I highly recommend

I had a great experience with this company. I was looking to upgrade the locks on one of our doors and found their details on this website. They came out within the hour, upgraded the locks, cut me two extra keys and I was able to pay via a card machine at my front door. It couldn't really have been any easier.

Contacted via e-mail yesterday. Quoted for replacement lock by return and arranged to fit this pm. Very pleased with the job and would use again.

Contacted trader (which I located from the Which Trusted Trader website) Sunday afternoon to repair a lock on a composite door. J F Locksmiths indicated a price over the phone for the work and attended the next afternoon to conduct the repair/replacement as requested. J F Locksmiths attended promptly (confirming via telephone their arrival time about 40 minutes in advance of their arrival). The two gents were both very polite, professional and efficient. Gave clear communications and good advice regarding my door locks. As a result of which I decided in addition to upgrade my much older locks on two other doors to the same modern standard. Each new lock initially came with three keys provided, but they were also able to cut me two additional keys for each lock at my request so that I could have five keys for each lock (which they cut on a machine located within the back of their van at a reasonable price). I would certainly use them again without any hesitation.

My back door lock was sticking and becoming difficult to use. I called James who quickly understood my problem. He called when he said he would having already informed me of the price for the work. He had to realign my door as part of the process and charged me exactly as quoted. He and his assistant were both very pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Jim was great - from providing a fast cost for fixing my mums patio door lock, to turning up exactly as agreed and a great job done. Can't fault his approach, reliability and thoroughness. Thank Jim and I'll definitely call you again if we need more help with anything.

Easily contacted using the telephone number on the Trusted traders page, this firm agreed to visit the following day on their second call with a repair quote of £80 or replacement cost of £180. Jim arrived punctually and was friendly and courteous and explained that due to the age of our door there might be some difficulty in matching the part. He tried adapting units on his van but finally had to go to a warehouse to obtain the correct part. Swiftly returning the job was completed in thirty minutes and we were left wit a new, smooth mechanism and a much reduced risk of being unable to get into our own home. This was a good example of where 36 years experience can provide the customer with correct parts tht are fitted expertly. Absolutely 100 percent recommended.

I contacted Jim to install a replacement cylinder and locking system for a composite door. Jim & Alex arrived exactly on time. Unfortunately the replacement locking system supplied byb the door manufacturer proved to be faulty. Jim identified the problem component, sourced a replacement locally, collected it from his supplier and installed it. Not only did Jim & Alex go the extra mile to make sure they could complete the job but they did so without a second thought. I will certainly use this company again and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

After reading some very good reviews online, I phoned JF Locksmiths and spoke to Jim. I described the problem with the door lock. He was informative and explained what he would be able to do, and the costs. He arrived very quickly (within half and hour) and got to work. He had the right parts in his van and was able to replace the lock. Jim was very courteous and polite, and he explained everything he had to do. I was really pleased with the work he did for me, and I would definitely use him again.

Through a set of unusual circumstances we found ourselves in a vulnerable position on a Saturday teatime concerning the security of our front door. I checked Trusted Traders and chose J.F.Locksmith’s. Jim immediately answered the phone, sized up the situation, gave us a very reasonable quote and said he’d leave immediately to get to us, giving an eta. Even though he lives the other side of Birmingham, which is very busy on Saturdays, he arrived almost to the minute. He worked quickly and efficiently, was warm and friendly, and left two very relieved and satisfied customers after about half an hour. He even left us three keys for our new, high security lock, plus a tag with the key code should we run into any future difficulties. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Jim!

Having had a UPVC door lock destroyed by burglars, I called Jim. He arrived later that morning, keeping me updated on his arrival time. He and his colleague assessed the damage, and worked quickly and efficiently to replace the broken lock with 3-start Euro anti-snap lock cylinder and new handles. He also replaced a similar lock on another door. They left things tidy, and got me to try out the new locks and keys to be sure I was happy with them. The callout and parts charges were very reasonable.

Jim was friendly and professional, he provisionally assessed the issue on the call. He gave an approximate quote, and ETA. Both Jim and Alex arrived within the ETA, his pre assessment was correct. He repaired the lock less than hour and charged, what he quoted. Based on my interaction with JF Locksmiths, I would highly recommend.

JF Locksmiths arrived within 15 minutes of my telephone call. They managed to remove the broken end of a key which had become lodged in the lock without having to change the lock cylinder, saving us an extra cost. Excellent job! I would highly recommend them.

If I need a locksmith again this is the only one I will use .fantastic customer service and a job well done before he came I could not lock my door he gave me a price I was happy to pay and from phone call to repair 1 hour I could not have asked for more from a very polite man thank you very much

Amazingly quick and efficient service, professionally carried out. Advised that I did not need a new lock, just a new barrel - saving me money!

Problem with lock on cabinet, called out JF Locksmiths and arrived within the hour. Problem was fixed within 10 minutes of arrival. Really good, friendly and efficient service.

Jim was able to visit quickly to change two existing locks (nightlatch to front door and cylinder to the back upvc door) and install an additional mortice lock to the front door. We were given a good idea of price before he came out, depending on the grade of lock we would go for and number of keys cut, and this was stuck to. Jim was punctual, polite and knowledgeable, explaining things in layman's terms without being condescending.

Problem with UPVC door not locking easily. Jim came the same morning at agreed time and changed the mechanism. Price as agreed beforehand. Good service, pleasant and helpful.

After some friends in the local area had been burgled, we were keen to ensure our locks were of the highest quality and as snap-proof as possible. We contacted Jim of JF Locksmiths and he arrived the same day. Jim was brilliant - he was able to give us excellent advice and a list of different options that we could choose from to suit our budget. Jim is very warm and friendly, really approachable and happy to answer any questions - nothing is too much trouble and, on top of the work he had quoted for, he was more than happy to help us by installing some additional Patlock french door locks that we had purchased. Cannot speak highly enough of the excellent customer service and peace-of-mind we have had through using JF Locksmiths. Would highly recommend and will certainly use again. Many thanks, Jim - very much appreciated!
