I locked myself out with the key in the lock on the inside. They kept me informed on when they would arrive. They opened the door extremely quickly, making no mess. The charge was the one quoted. The service was very professional and there is no hesitation in recommending them.

Our son required a new door lock fitted to comply with his house insurance policy, but needed us to be there when the work was done. We recommended Chris as we had used him in the past. Chris came on time, showed and explained the lock he was going to fit and confirmed it complied with the insurance requirements. He was friendly, but got on with doing the work and cleaned up after. He was able cut extra keys for us and charged the agreed price.

I spoke to Chris/Lock Around the Clock via Checkatrade and explained what I needed. Chris said he had no problems about assisting and we agreed the date and time of visit then. He did not pressure me into doing work straightaway as it was not necessary and would cost more for an urgent call out. Chris duly came on time and carried out the required work to an excellent standard. He explained how much the work would cost and did some additional key cutting for me as well.

I had an emergency last Friday morning and frantically called Chris at 7am (not thinking I would get an answer) for his help! He was very calming and arrived within half an hour to change my locks! The job was done quickly and he was very helpful with the matter! Hopefully I don’t have another lock emergency but if I do I will definitely use Locks Around The Clock Again.

Fitted a new lock to back door. Works well. Made no mess. My other problem is an intermittent stiffness to the lock on the fairly new composite front door. Unfortunately, it was working perfectly when Chris came round. He oiled it and loosened it, so hopefully that will permanently solve the problem.

Chris changed the gearboxes on two old UPVC doors and replaced one of the locks. He was very professional and approachable. At each stage of the job he clearly explained the different options and pricing so I felt I could make an informed choice. Work was reasonably priced and done to a high standard. I needed the work done at a specific time and Chris was flexible and reliable about this. I’d really recommend Chris to anyone needing repairs to their locks.

I called Chris to install a replacement multi-point lock on a uPVC door that I had bought, he was with me in half an hour. On looking at my door he advised me he could just change the gearbox instead of the whole lock which was a cheaper part and as it would be quicker to do cost me less in labour and I could return the lock I bought. He then completed the job quickly. Couldn’t ask for a better service.
