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.

I needed locks to be changed in an unexpected and stressful situation. I was recommended Lock Assist for which I am so grateful. Paul was helpful and prompt to respond and I cannot fault his work and professionalism. I can certainly recommend Lock Assist.

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.

Took two old interior door locks and two modern lever handles into company’s workshop. As suggested, liaised by telephone to ensure locksmith would be in workshop when I visited. Locks and handles all required new springs (as I thought they would). All springs, were fitted rapidly and expertly. Staff a pleasure to deal with both face-to-face and by telephone.

It’s not always locks out on site that we attend to. There always the option of being able to bring them to our shop (if possible) for some well deserved TLC! Good to know that your locks and handles have a new lease of life. Regards, Paul.

We got back from an overnight stay to find our house keys were still in the hotel room! A quick call to Lock Assist and within an hour we were indoors. Paul opened the lock without damaging it and did a quick maintenance upkeep on it before leaving. Quoted cost was the cost paid. Highly recommend them.

Can’t praise the company enough. My elderly mother locked herself out, a neighbour recommended Lock Assist Ltd, they came immediately, sorted out the problem and made sure it couldn’t happen again. They upgraded and serviced the lock for a very reasonable cost. They were even good enough to trust my mother to allow me to pay them the next day. A great company and superb service. Many thanks indeed! Customer in West Sussex

Local company to me and came out within 30 minutes having sent photos of the door to them, he had identified the part likely to be needed and thankfully it was so door system replaced and also poorly fitting door adjusted. Very pleasant and efficient service would highly recommend
