THE BEST OF THE BUNCH! These guys were just great - a real family business that were friendly, professional, efficient and their workmanship was top notch - they installed a garage lock and new front door locks when we moved in and we couldn't be happier. No call out charge either and they stayed a bit longer and didn't charge! Even managed to cut us some spare keys on the spot. Would recommend to anyone!

Great service - you will not get better! Highly recommended! Came to re-align a patio door which wasn't locking.

Chris has helped me out a few times, with a fast and efficient service. He is 100% reliable, honest, professional and friendly. He is genuine and cares about his customers. His rates are very reasonable. I wouldn't use anyone else! Thank you Chris! 😊

Chris arrived in minutes and broke me free frighteningly easily. Next time I'm locked in, it won't be so easy. My door is now insurance rated and much more secure. I was informed of my options (and the associated costs) at all times without being pressured. The hall was left tidy, and I even got a free drill bit.

Needed Chris’ help again after a Yale door latch snapped off in my son‘s hand, just wear and tear but it meant we couldn’t lock our inner front porch door. Chris came within an hour of calling on a Saturday morning and immediately replaced the latch. He also replaced another lock and cut additional keys that we needed doing. Very friendly, competent and can do attitude. Had used previously a couple of years ago for other door locks. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend. Many thanks Chris.

Replacement Locks
No-one has time to wait and so arrival 25 minutes from the first call is pretty fast right? The broken lock was removed and replaced within no time, this is not the first time we have used Lock Around The Clock nor will it be the last. excellent service and very fair pricing.

Chris fitted a new handle set for our patio door as the old one was close to breaking. He arrived promptly and immediately got to work. He was efficient and friendly and also provided free advice in respect of whether we should upgrade the lock. Excellent, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend using this Locksmith to anyone needing his services. I could not seem to find a local locksmith I could actually talk to without going through another organisation or telephone system as one wants to speak directly with the person who knows the job. Chris responded quickly, was very informative and helpful and attended promptly and on time. He was very polite, experienced and knowledgeable and quick to resolve two jobs. He gave excellent extra advice which I used and valued. He was significantly cheaper than other Locksmiths. If I ever need a Locksmith again I would not want to use anyone else.

I was very pleased with the work carried out. The issues were explained clearly, and how to rectify them as well. The costs were exactly as estimated over the phone. A very sensible adjustment was recommended, and as it was going to make using the locks easier for me, I accepted the advice. The end result was very good quality work.

Super service: courteous, (was running late and called), efficient, no nonsense. I heard him talking to other customers whilst he was here (the phone doesn’t stop ringing for him, he’s in demand!) and he was always polite and seems happy to go the extra mile. Fixed my non locking door within an hour. I’ve no idea whether he’s good value, having never used a locksmith before

Chris fitted a new lock to my sliding patio door some 12 years ago. Last evening the mechanism malfunctioned and I could not operate the locking mechanism. I called Chris this morning and he attended me within the hour. There was no problem with the lock. He took the handles off and completely serviced the locking mechanism. He also adjusted the lock bolts as they were a little tight. The door locking mechanism is all in good working order now. A job well done and very efficient. He gave me a 10% discount as he had attended me before. Thank you Chris.

I contacted Chris about a replacement window lock and some general repairs that we needed on a few window lock handles. He was prompt in providing availability for the job. He offered to come on the day but we chose the following working day. He came on time for the job and was assisted by his son. Both were professional and were wearing face-masks to minimise any potential risks regarding Covid-19. The job was completed efficiently and they checked other window locks for damage and provided maintenance on any requiring it. We were also offered advice on various locks, which showed honesty and helpfulness. I would recommend this company and would use them again if required.

Chris replaced an existing lock on a wooden fire door which required some carpentry work on the door and surrounds to accommodate the new lock. He arrived at the agreed time and completed the work in his estimated timescale. Would use him again if required.

Screws had chopped on 2 windows preventing me from opening them. I phoned for help (not urgent) at 9am and they arrived at 11.30am - spent 5 minutes fixing the problem and charged for labour only. Helpful and stated their charge before arrival - very fair.

Chris came to exchange a lock on a door that was locked and the key had been lost. He was very helpful and gave me a quote straight away. He arrived promptly to do the job. Before he started work he explained what he needed to do. The old lock was drilled out - there was no sign of damage to the door. The new lock was fitted and worked perfectly. The work area was left clean and tidy on completion. A perfect job. I would definitely employ him again.

Lock on our front door needed urgent attention. We searched for a locksmith and found Chris had excellent reviews. We called him and he arrived the same day. He quickly diagnosed the problems with the lock, he explained to us what needed doing and the price. He was very friendly and courteous. He quickly fixed the lock and made sure we were happy with it. We would definitely use him again if required and recommend him. First class service!
