After locking ourselves out, we were very impressed that Chris was able to attend our property within an hour. Once he was here, he carried out the work very quickly and we were soon back in our house! The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Lock around the Clock.

Went the Extra Mile
I called Chris Cavanah to unlock an old-cottage exterior door that had not been opened for 16 years. After doing his locksmith work, an unexpected second problem occurred as the old wooden door was jammed so tight it was very difficult to open/close. Chris went the extra mile and used his electric wood planner to shave off the wooden door stile so that his new lock could be fitted properly and the door now moves much more freely. Also prompt service, good phone communications, good hourly labour rates, good price for a new 5-lever door lock and friendly service. Final tip:- Always keep your locksmith's phone number in your wallet/purse: it's no use inside if you're locked out and can't get into the house!

I have used this company several times and have always been happy with the work. Chris comes quickly and on time. He has done a skilled and quick job every time and at a reasonable price. He has left the work area clean and tidy. Highly recommended and for me the preferred go-to trader for lock matters.

We have used this company twice recently, on both occasions to replace locks on exterior doors. On both occasions they attended early at short notice, within 90 minutes. Work was excellent and the prices reasonable -- even supplying extra keys. Polite efficient service -- would highly recommend them.

Lock Around The Clock fixed a broken front door yale lock. They turned up exactly on time having phoned to give me 30 mins notice of their arrival. The work was completed in an hour or so including cutting an extra 5 keys. The cost was exactly as quoted. This is a Father and Son business: they are polite, efficient and very professional, offering contact details should we need further help or if anything went wrong with their repair. The cost was very reasonable and good value. Definitely use them again if needed.

The work involved unjamming and cleaning the multiple locking bolts on a PVC external door. The response was within a few hours at a most convenient time. The problem was assessed quickly and the possible costs outlined. In the event no replacement was necessary, only cleaning and refitting which was all completed within half an hour. Mr Cavanah was very friendly and helpful and fully explained the job as it progressed. He was a very tidy worker and fully cleaned the door after the work was done. The final cost was less than the minimum quoted.

I phoned this morning. Chris promised to ring half hour before he would arrive and expected it would be this afternoon. He actually was able to arrive at noon and after asking me about the problem with the lock set about fixing it. This he did efficiently and very capably. I will be very pleased to use the services of Lock around the Clock and to recommend them.
