JF Locksmiths

Jim replaced two locks with high security cyclinders promptly and efficiently, offering to come out the same day as I called. He also agreed to look into our garage door mechanism free of charge, advising the best course of action in his honest opinion, with details of others to contact only if we choose to. Jim also offered to straighten our front door freely, a job he did not have to do and explained how to do this for ourselves in the future, a kind and thoughtful gesture of someone who takes pride in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend J F Locksmiths to anyone and will be calling them if I ever need such work again.

We were extremely pleased with the service, the problem was dealt with very promptly and to our satisfaction. Many thanks for a first class job.

Jim did a great job - very honest as I asked for his opinion on some of the locks in my property and he didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. Very friendly and worked efficiently, explained everything to me as well - a job well done. I wouldn’t hesitate to use in future.

I've used this company twice before. I rang Jim today, outlining the issues I had with the handles on my windows & the one on my main front door. He arrived within an hour of my call!! Jim is very professional, extremely polite & expert in his field - I would highly recommend his services. Don't hesitate to contact him if you need a locksmith!!!

Jim helped me change a lock for the front pouch which was very dated, he came within the hour and was very polite and friendly, he has since done other work and I can only praise him for his service.

Jim changed the lock on my garage as I'd lost the key. He was friendly, helpful, punctual and I thought the work was really good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Arranged a time and he was here within 40 minutes. Another 15 minutes and the job was done. You can’t go wrong with this fella and I would definitely use his services again.

I was very impressed with Jim's work and I'm really pleased with the locks he fitted. He was punctual, friendly, helpful and efficient, and gave honest advice about the work I needed. There were no hidden costs. I would certainly call him again if needed. Many thanks for a great job. Highly recommended!

Jim came out at short notice to see if he could resolve an issue with my elderly mother's uPVC porch door. It turned out to be an issue with the uPVC door and surrounding structure rather than a lock or adjustment issue, but Jim spent time checking it out and advising us. He also came out as soon as he could, which we appreciated.

A church door 126 years old with a snapped off key in one of the locks nearly 30 years old. We needed the door open, working and secure. Jim was able to come out straight away on a Saturday morning, in fact we had to put him back slightly to give us time receive him. Snapped Keys in the lock can be difficult, but the broken piece was out within minutes. With this sorted, Jim then moved on to make sure that the locks worked correctly and were correctly aligned for smooth operation. Being very old doors, they were slightly warped and the one side of the door had slightly dropped a little. Both of the door lock holding plates were removed, lowered and countersunk better to prevent the locking mechanisms from catching or sticking. This involved chiseling out the door frame. So one broken key removed (original remit), Two holding plates repositioned and countersunk, two locks re-lubricated and checked for working operation and all for the same price and quoted for the original remit. Absolutely Fantastic! No hidden charges! Thank you J F Locksmiths.

I have used this contractor twice this year and was very impressed with the service provided. The first time my front door needed realignment. Jim told me how much it would cost and came immediately as I couldn't close my front door at all. He was courteous and explained everything he was doing. There were no hidden charges at all and the problem was quickly resolved. Needless to say I contacted Jim again this time when my lock failed. He came by appointment this time and arrived on time and replaced the lock, even cutting an extra key without charge, in addition to the three already provided. I would definitely recommend him.

I had a tricky situation where I needed to gain access to my property in fairly short order. Jim was extremely helpful, reasonable and courteous. He responded to my initial phone call and kept in touch via text with detailed arrangements. He made a successful effort to keep the costs down and I would have no hesitation in recommending JF Locksmiths.

Called and explained the problem, all very professional and efficient, they arrived quickly, had already collected the correct replacement and expertly fitted the lock, great price, great job - problem solved, Thank you!

Very pleasant, friendly locksmith. Did a great job and was a tidy tradesman. Easy invoice system with contactless saved faffing around with bank transfers and/or cash.

I contacted J F Locksmith early one morning about adding a secure lock to a side passage door. I was asked to email photos of the door and had a quote within minutes. Work started the same morning but the old door proved to be problematic. After careful thought an alternative solution was devised which overcame the problems perfectly. By the end of the same morning the work was completed to a high standard and we had a much improved side door.

Door lock replacement. I phoned with my request. He asked for an emailed photo, and he soon visited, arriving promptly at the agreed time. He was fully prepared. He was attentive, helpful, personable, efficient, quick, and tidy. He brought an easy contactless payment system. The whole experience was straightforward and pleasant.

Jim responded very promptly to my enquiry and turned up at the agreed time to change the lock on my uPVC door. He offered the option of mending the gears instead of replacing, which would have been a cheaper option, however I decided to go for a replacement as a longer term solution. I have no hesitation in recommending JF Locksmiths. The service was excellent as well as competitively priced.

I don't normally leave reviews, but felt Jim did a really good job. He was very helpful and explained the various options I had in full. I asked him to do some additional work we hadn't agreed in advance, he had the parts in his van and did to a high standard. Also, I asked for some advice on a badly fitted uPVC door round the back. Jim re-adjusted the door on the spot and its now good as new Overall I found him to be very trustworthy and meticulous and would be more than happy to use him again.

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.
