Due to subsidence our front door was out of alignment and the lock had become unreliable. Though I didn't ask for emergency help, they arrived within 90 minuted, and took only about 30 minutes to fix the problem in a very professional way, at a very reasonable price.

I called about a broken lock that meant we couldn't open a garage door. They came really quickly and fixed it fast and gave us a timeframe for arrival and a call 5 mins before. Really great service.

Called Chris after leaving a key in the lock inside the house. He was very polite, friendly over the phone, and gave me a time estimate on when he'd be there. He called, saying he was on his way, and arrived exactly when he said he would. He had all the right tools to very quickly solve the problem, and took card payment! Would happily use him again if I had to.

This is what you need from a trader: speed, efficiency and kindness. My back door would not lock and I was supposed to be leaving the house for the weekend. Chris was alerted and the job was completed in less than an hour. Hoping not to need him for some time but good to know he is there.

Not only did Chris answer his phone at 9.37 pm, but he also arrived at my door less than 15 minutes later to sort out my front door which wouldn’t shut properly or lock. He changed the cylinder, realigned the door and refitted hinges screws which were missing. The door now shuts and locks correctly. I can go to sleep knowing the house is secure. Super impressed!! Very professional and friendly too. Will definitely use Chris again and recommend to all my contacts :-)

The conservatory lock became sticky and eventually failed. It couldn't be locked without leaving the key in the lock. Not very secure. The team came round as promised, took one look at the problem and said what the problem was and the price to fix it. 15 minutes later, all completed. The door now locks correctly. Plus we have advice on how to resolve the situation ourselves in future and sensible suggestions on improved security.

Our back door had been locked for a while and we could not open it because of a faulty door jamb bolt. We called in the experts and bingo, Lock Around The Clock arrived on time and did the job using their expertise. Their work was efficient, friendly, quick and they installed new bolts. They left two very satisfied customers. Definitely recommend them.

Clear to identify and explain the issue, offer alternate solutions if options. Work is top quality, quick and with minimal fuss, always clean up afterwards. Competitive pricing and they recognise the value of your return business. Highly recommend and will use again.
