About

Paul started Lock Assist in 2003 after working as a master locksmith for over 20 years. We are an Approved Company of the Master Locksmiths Association so if you need expert advice and help from time served, experienced locksmiths who know how to pick locks open if you're locked out, we are the ones to call, 24 hours a day.

Tricky locks? Difficult doors? Catchy keys? If your locks and doors start playing up and they're getting really difficult to use - maybe the key's stiff to turn or the door's not closing properly - it's always best to get the problem resolved before it gets worse.

But you needn't despair. We sort out these sorts of problems daily and with the minimum of fuss and delay. In fact, we're so sure in our abilities, we even give our customers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. How's that for peace of mind? And that's not just if you're locked out, it's with all our work. So whether it's a lock or a door closer to be fitted, maybe a safe to supply or just a key to cut, you're in safe hands.

It’s rare these days to find a company which offers such great service and quality work. Paul was efficient on the telephone and when he visited my property the next day. He is a master craftsman with a charming manner and a true professional. He recognised the problem immediately and fixed it quickly and perfectly re-aligning 2 locks and then fixing another lock which was not what I initially called him out for with no extra charge. I can recommend this company unreservedly. Congratulations.

Lost my key

Paul at Lock Assist was simply excellent, quick to answer the phone and quick to get me into my house! I had left my bag on the train with my house keys in and my dog was home alone and I was on my way back from London. Paul even picked me up from the train station, saving me a taxi ride. Paul picked the lock and we got in within 20 minutes, no damage. Can't recommend them enough.

I contacted Lock Assist as we couldn’t use our front door. I messaged early in the morning on social media and had an appointment confirmed the next day. I had to contact to change due to family emergency and Paul was so kind and understanding, flexible and simply changed it despite short notice. The job was more complex than initially thought, but honoured the quote. Highly recommend. Good old fashioned local, personalised service.

Thanks to Lock Assist for getting to us within 30 minutes of me calling, to deal with a key snapped in the lock. Additionally offered advice on the setup of our door lock and made a change to the opening process. Great result,

The locking mechanism of our double-glazed front-door had failed. This was replaced using parts ‘on the van’. As we were impressed by the service, we took the opportunity to have the handles and plates replaced on another door. Perfect work, nice people.

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!

We are always happy to help and do as much as we can always ensure that is the case. We’re so pleased that you’re pleased and the extra key was also free of charge. Take care and thank you again. With another day, comes another sunrise with fresh opportunities.
