Our front door mortice lock jammed, called Lock Assist, they arrived in 45 mins, started immediately and managed to open the door and access the lock. They got it working within minutes and refitted the lock. Excellent service, then we asked them to look at the patio door lock and they happily moved on to dismantle and totally repair the rusted door lock mechanism. Brilliant workmanship.

You must have the tightest fitting door in the world but still opens and closes! However, we managed to manipulate the lock to get the door open and check that the lock was ok and made some small adjustments. Thank you for your great review. Regards,
Friendly, fast and amazing!

I sent an online enquiry early hours in the morning, they rang me as soon as they opened and my lock was changed and door adjusted all before midday! I really appreciate you both for coming out and getting this sorted for me AND cutting me another key. Thank you so much!

Today we closed our front door, leaving the keys in the lock on the inside of the door. Our daughter called Lock Assist, within 30 minutes Paul arrived and promptly managed to get us into our home. He advised to think about changing the lock mechanism to prevent this happening again. We asked him to go ahead with the suggested new system, whilst fitting this he noticed a problem with triple the lock alignment brackets, he rectified the problem at no extra charge. I would highly recommend Lock Assist, excellent service at a very competitive price.

Me and my daughter(rush hour school run) were locked out leaving the door keys in the keyhole on the inner side. I called Lock Assist and the gentleman arrived in 10mins and opened the door using his 007 contraption. We were very relieved and would highly recommend Lock Assist.

I called last thing on a Thursday evening - didn't need urgent help, just our front door handle was behaving strangely - but still working and locking OK. They asked me to email over my details and pictures of the door handle, which I did. They called me Friday morning and arranged to attend at a time convenient to me. Turned up, unscrewed the door handle, gave the springs in it a quick cleaning spray, put it back on, and everything is back to normal. They were only here a couple of minutes, so didn't charge me. Hence leaving them a lovely review. They were helpful on the phone, got back to me quickly, and both the guys who arrived were friendly. They even showed me exactly what to do if it happens again. I'll definitely be keeping their number in my phone and using them when we have a genuine lock problem.

I have used Lock Assist previously to realign my patio doors which were not closing properly. Paul did a fantastic job on those so I called them back - this time to look at some windows which either wouldn't shut easily or the handles had become very stiff. This time both Paul and Carl turned up and between them did another great job. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Just a few hours after contacting Lock Assist Carl arrived to fit a new lock to our patio doors. Unfortunately, this proved to be a complex issue which could not be immediately resolved. Undeterred, Carl returned the next day to fit further new parts but was still not satisfied with the result. Further visits, this time accompanied by Paul, were made until things were working properly. In the meantime the guys undertook the replacement of handles on our front door, which again proved challenging, but in the end was resolved perfectly. Their commitment to achieving a solution they were satisfied with, let alone the customer, was remarkable. Despite the difficulties, and the need for return visits, they remained friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble. This level of service is, unfortunately, rare these days and Lock Assist is to be highly commended. I will use them again without hesitation.

I called Lock Assist Ltd at 16.45 on a weekday afternoon as I was suddenly unable to lock my front door. The phone was answered by Karl who immediately reassured me that they’d be able to help. I emailed some photos across of my door and by 17.00 Karl had arrived at my home. He was quickly able to identify and rectify the problem. I cannot recommend Lock Assist more highly. Friendly, knowledgable and professional and deserve this recognition of their excellent service. Thank you Karl.
