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.

New Home- New Key

I moved into a new property and the main lock did not work. Paul was very helpful and replied to me quickly. He explained the procedure in a professional manner that made me feel assured that the job would be done well. A slot was booked easily and he was able to fit a new mortice lock brilliantly. I now feel safe and secure in my new home. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Paul was already helpful before we arranged for a call out. He advised me how to try to fix the problem myself. When it became apparent that the fault was not something I could fix myself we agreed a time for the call out. He arrived on time, smart appearance and showed me his ID card. The problem was a faulty chubb lock (that I had hardly used since it was first fitted 6 years ago. The key would not fit into the keyhole. Paul spent considerable time trying to drill and file the hole - but it was not salvageable. He had to change the lock itself. Then the lock was not fitting in the receiver and he had to refit the receiver. Finally I asked Paul to check the yale lock which we have had to slam shut for years. Immediately he assessed and explained that the yale case was broken on one side - hence the lock was loose, therefore was not catching smoothly - and this was why we were having to use force to close the door. Paul was a great trader's experience for me; punctual, tidy, explained what the problem was in easy everyday language and fixed the problem. I would recommend Paul and the Lock Assist Team highly.

Our 1980 front door lock had finally given up. Paul popped over within 10 minutes of our calling him (out of hours) and quickly and efficiently replaced the lock for us. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Carl came when agreed and spent an hour prising a jammed door open and then shaved away the protuberant problem parts. All sorted. Carl was delightful.

We asked Locksmiths to check our window locks to ensure they were working securely. Their 2 representatives were very pleasant, clearly experienced and competent. The amount of their charge was not unreasonable. I would use them again if necessary.

Sorted out problems with Upvc doors which were not shutting correctly and made replacement keys for a long lost safe key and an old cabinet. Excellent service and great attention to detail. Would strongly recommend.

Paul comes across as hugely enthusiastic about what he does as well as extremely professional. Quoted two prices, based on potential difficulty, and then charged less than either of the quotes as the job proved a little more straightforward than anticipated. Very strongly recommended.

Brilliant from quote to completion of job. Can't express enough how easy and professional this service was. I had struggled to find any business that would secure my sash window for me and had a couple of failed tries. Lock Assist LTD assessed and fixed my problem promptly, with minimum of fuss and with a pleasant attitude. I am so relieved to have secured my window for good! I will definitely use again if required. Highly recommended.

Sash windows and their locks are a bit 'old school' and not everyone is familiar with them but we have been in locksmithing for over 40 years so have seen most things! Thank you for your kind review. Regards, Paul.

Three locks were faulty and Paul managed to repair two locks, replace one, and adjust a door to fit correctly - all within the original callout time allocation, so the only extra to pay was for the new lock. It was a friendly, fast and efficient service. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your kind review. We will always try to repair or adjust locks rather than replacing them - so long as we are confident they will be reliable. Regards, Paul.
