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.

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.
