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.

We locked ourselves out by leaving the key in the lock on the inside of the front door and couldn't get in. Mothering Sunday afternoon - turned up within 20 mins as stated and got us in!

I called Chris at 8.30am and he was here by 11am with his assistant. Masked up and ready to go. Our door was not secure and it was fixed within an hour and a new lock on. Friendly and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his assistant to anyone.

Chris Cavanah was called at short notice. He arrived when he said he would. He evaluated what needed doing. Gave a firm quote for the work, which I was happy with. The work was then completed quickly and efficiently with minimum disruption. Overall I and my wife were very pleased.

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.

Chris from Lock around the Clock was extremely efficient when I called for a quote, Chris said he could arrive within the hour, which he did. Obviously, Chris is very knowledgeable and a highly experienced locksmith who knew exactly how to keep my property safer. Great after sales. Reliable & friendly and being Which? approved made me call him instead of another locksmith.

Chris arrived within 45 minutes of my call to open a locked door from the outside with the key still in the lock on the inside. He called in advance to tell me he'd be there in 25 mins. He was friendly and efficient with the solution. He also told me the cost in advance.

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!

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.

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.
