Excellent and prompt service
When one of our spare key snapped inside the lock of our UPVc front door, we called Chris after finding his details online - he was on site within half an hour and had the key out within 10 minutes. He also provided some excellent advice on improving the security for the house and should the occasion arise I will have no hesitation in calling him again.

Sunday 9:45am we’re stuck the front door would not unlock. We couldn’t leave and if we did would we get back in? Phoned Chris at ‘Lock around the clock’! Long story short, he gave us an estimated price, arrived within half an hour, job done! I Asked if he’d just look at the back door with a view to returning at a later date Chris took a look and resolved that issue too. Obviously a second visit would be another call out charge. He was efficient, polite and I’ve put him on my list of phone contacts, will definitely recommend him! Great guy!

Chris and his partner fixed my dodgy front door lock this afternoon and it's now it is working perfectly again. They were friendly, focused and efficient and the job was done quickly and skilfully. Chris was clear about pricing for the work before starting, which I appreciated. Communication was very good too, with Chris phoning soon after I'd left a message and then ringing agian 15 mins before arriving. I'd definitely recommend Lock around the Clock.

Our UPVC door had become stuck and even though the key would turn, the door wouldn't open. I called Chris at around 10am and he was with us early afternoon with a colleague. Both of the guys were polite and quickly managed to locate the problem, and explained to me in simple terms what the issue was. Chris then presented two options, one of which would work out cheaper than the other, and then they quickly resolved the problem. Would definitely recommend Chris, service was good and quickly resolved our issue.

Really good service from Chris. I am disabled and have problems turning my lock and I have asked various different people how to solve it and Chris knew exactly what to do and now I have no problem opening my door - so much easier! They did a brilliant job and were very polite.

Great front door lock rescue/upgrade
Had dismantled front door lock system to clean up sticky cylinder, but could not get back together. Winter, now evening, dark, very windy and front door stuck open, needed help. Call Chris of Lock Around The Clock ( I'd happily used him before). He kindly turned out as promised that evening, quickly reassembled complex lock system, and recommended fit stronger BSI anti-snap Euro cylinder. Had right cylinder on van, cut me 4 extra keys, fitted new cylinder,checked all worked, and how to use it. Cheerful, friendly, highly-skilled locksmith, got me out of trouble quickly, and for very reasonable price.

Selected Lock around the Clock based on high volume of positive reviews. We identified that our front door lift & lock handle was not working and therefore unable to close our front door! From our initial call at 17:30 - Chris Cavanah arrived 30 minutes later and resolved the issue. Chris was simply fantastic and very professional. Locksmith reliability is a must!

Quickly fixed my front door and garage door locks
I called Lock around the Clock based on a recommendation I'd received from someone else. I had a problem with my front door lock (key was spinning in the barrel and not engaging the lock) and also my garage door lock (couldn't put the key in). They arrived at the time they said they would and phoned 30 minutes beforehand to let me know. They initially thought they'd need to replace the barrel in the lock but when they disassembled the lock, they discovered some screws were loose and were able to resolve my problem without any new parts which was the preferred option for me. They also quickly fixed my garage door lock and told me how to prevent that issue in future. They were courteous and professional and their labour charge was very reasonable indeed. I have no hestiation in recommending them.

I called Chris to ask him to fit a new front door lock which I have purchased myself on Friday to comply with my house insurance. I looked to fit it myself but found the lock was much too complicated for me to fit and decided to call Chris. Chris answered my call straight away and told me that he would try and fit me in later that day. He called me later on Friday afternoon to say he was on his way. Unfortunately, he was unable to fit the lock due to the sitting of the previous lock. Chris made a number of suggestions one of which was to fit a mortice lock which he came and fitted on Monday afternoon. Very happy with the outcome. Tom

An external door was stuck in the locked position, the key wouldn't turn and the handle did not work. I rang up at 2.30 pm on the 4th and he arrived at about 3.30 having rung 20 minutes before to say when he would arrive. He immediately got the door open and took out the mechanism and replaced the gearbox, reassembled and made some adjustment - job done! Very impressed with his skill and the speed that he did the job.

Highly recommended and extremely impressed. I'm a landlord, with a property in Luton. My tenants called me earlier today saying they couldn't open the front door, which was in the 'locked' position. The key turned, but the locking mechanism wouldn't unlock. Within a few hours, the engineer had visited the property, opened the door, replaced the gearbox and realigned the door. The quote was highly competitive and I have no hesitation in recommending 'Lock around the clock'. Thank you so much for your excellent service.

He didn't try to get me to pay for an expensive lock change - he was able to tell quickly that all that needed doing was to re-align the existing lock, and at my request he changed the door handles so that the opening/closing process was easier. He was also able to fix a window in the conservatory that had got stuck with minimum fuss. Chris knows his trade in expert manner, and the charge for his work was very reasonable. No hesitation in recommending him to others.

Excellent Service
Had two door lock cylinders replaced due to losing one set of keys. Have used Chris once before a couple of years ago and once again from contacting him and the locks being replaced was under 24 hours. Quick, Courteous, Clean, Friendly and giving advice on security locks, I could not fault them. I know that if I need them again all I have to do is pick up the phone and they will be here. Can't recommend them highly enough.

The job was scheduled for the next day and as stated, I received a call letting me know when they will come. The type of work, costs and options were explained before the job was done. The blocked cylinder was removed and a new one fitted. It all took around 15 min. Highly recommended.

Replacing Locking System on UPVC Front Door
I phoned at 13:10 and they managed to fit me in at 15:30 so that was ideal. Chris and his son did a great job replacing the locking system, explaining everything clearly and giving honest quotes along the way....so no surprises at the end. They were both very friendly yet professional and removed the mess at the end. I paid a fair price by debit card and they gave me spare keys which was great. I would highly recommend this company and would use them again.

I found the Ad in a local magazine and checked the reviews online. Rang and could have had a visit the next day if necessary. Chris rang to confirm the time on the day and to advise me of labour costs and that there would be an additional charge for any parts. On arrival with his son, he inspected the faulty front door lock, said it shouldn’t need replacing fully. He fitted a new part, and the lock is as good as new.

I managed to snap a key in the lock of one of my exterior doors this morning at around 11 am, realised it was beyond my capabilities to repair it, so I rang "Lock around the Clock". Very professional and polite on the phone, they arrived at exactly 12.30pm and sorted the problem out in about 20 minutes flat, retrieving the key and dismantling and realigning the door and lock, which now works perfectly. It was a very reasonable price and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend this company.

Being local, Chris was able to come at short notice - around half an hour. He was not only astoundingly quick on the job, he was also sensitively good-humoured about my unfortunate situation, in a way that put me at ease. His rates were also more reasonable than the larger company I'd found and called earlier on, who were not able to send anybody out, and would've taken up to 2 hours if they had. So, friendly, fast and didn't cost a fortune. All round appreciated. Thanks again Chris :)

Lock around the clock. Absolutely amazing. My mother needed a new lock on her back door. I called a company in Tring first of all that said they would have to take the back door off and we wouldn’t get it back till the weekend, rubbish. They didn’t even arrive in a proper van. So I then called Lock around the clock and I spoke to a lovely man called Chris. We arranged a time for him to come up and he arrived on time calling to say he had arrived. He came with a guy called George they took one look at it and changed the lock straight away. My mum's door didn’t shut properly and they sorted that out as well. I thought their pricing was excellent. Both Chris and George were very polite and professional. I would certainly use this company again and tell all my friends about them. They get 10 stars from me.

Rang Lock Around The Clock to get new lock fitted on door. He quoted me a price and stated a time when he would turn up. He turned up on time, replaced and fitted a new lock, done to good standard. Price he quoted was the price I paid over the phone.

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 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.

Had a problem with latch for the door on our downstairs toilet. The door was jammed closed (fortunately no-one was inside at the time!) Found Chris's number in a local information magazine. He was there within 3 hours, having 'phoned when he was half an hour away. Got the door open and replaced the latch. A professional, tidy job and no call out charge - just labour and parts. Would definitely recommend and now have his mobile number in my contacts list - just in case.

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 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.

He was great, he reassured me he would be with me within the hour and turned up as promised. He had to replace the lock to gain entrance and then replaced it with a new one and did a clean and tidy job. I was so pleased and so relieved. The cost was very reasonable too. Highly recommended.

Elderly parents kept leaving key on inside front door lock which prevented other key holders from unlocking the door from the outside. Contacted Chris who said he could fit a knob to lock the door on the inside so that the front door could still be unlocked from the outside with a key.

They came at the agreed time. They identified what was needed to be done to fix the backdoor (change the gearbox) and explained it well to us. They were very happy to fix an additional problem despite us not mentioning on beforehand. They fixed an ongoing issue we had with our temperamental front door that they identified on coming/leaving the house. Very tidy. Happy people.

Replace front door gearbox.
I arrived home about seven PM on the fifteenth of January. I opened and closed the front door but was unable to open it again. I phoned Lock Around The Clock, who advised he could come out to us to access the damage within half an hour, which we thought was superb given it was a Saturday evening. Chris quickly located the problem having opened the door and advised us of our options and cost. We decided to have new parts and Chris replaced the front door gearbox for what we believe was a fair and very reasonable price. The work was completed within forty five minutes with no mess or damage to the door(you wouldn't even know that he had been). Chris was a pleasure to do business with and we were very pleased with the work he carried out, which was all under guarantee. Thank you.

George of "Lock around the Clock" visited our house today to change the mortice lock on our front door and see what could be done about a problem we had with the lock on a double glazed window in our bedroom. He arrived at the agreed time and was very personable. He looked at the mortice lock and found that it was not the lock that was faulty but the key had been slightly damaged. As a result, he did not change the lock but I need to buy a new key! With regards to the bedroom window, he found that the handle was not working properly, so changed that. This came with a new lock, of course. George was very professional and extremely efficient.

Unlocked snibbed door
The snib was down on the front door lock so the key couldn’t open the door. The. Locksmith answered the phone immediately and arrived within five minutes. The snib was raised quickly and the door opened. Skilled, efficient and friendly. Reasonable charge well worth the cost.

He didn't pressure me to make a choice and I chose to have it done same day. Chris was able to get to me within the hour, drill the lock out and replace with a new one.

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.

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.

I called this company because my front door lock was becoming difficult to open sometimes, and not always latching properly on closing. They came and assessed the problem, adjusted the lock to my satisfaction, then offered to 'unstick' my wooden porch door which had swollen in recent wet weather, which was a great help to me, and done without extra payment. A very nice gesture and much appreciated!

Amazing same day service. Efficient and pleasant
This local trader was able to resolve my malfunctioning front door handle the same day I called. He and his son, a good team, were able to resolve the problem, and replace the handle, ensuring it was working properly for all functions of the opening, closing and locking of the door. They had a replacement handle on the van, so there was no interval between identifying the problem and sorting it. They were tidy and cleaned the door of any finger marks; they were cheerful, professional and polite. They were recommended by a neighbour and I would recommend their services to anyone. I did not enquire about actual likely cost when I called, but did enquire whether the overall cost would include VAT (it did not). Their advert in the local neighbourhood magazine stated there is no call out charge, so I anticipated having to pay labour and parts. I assumed that they would not be able to give me a quote until they knew what the issues were. I was satisfied that the charge was proportionate for the task, and very relieved to have had the malfunction remedied.

Chris arrived punctually at the agreed time on the day I contacted him. He quickly identified the problem and effected repairs and fitted new parts so that the door is working better than it has for years. It is a heavy UPVC double glazed door so would have been very expensive to replace. I was very happy with both the work and the cost.
