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.

This is the second time I have had to use them. They arrived when they said they would. They repaired my patio door and even took my utility room door handle away to remake the spring. I can not praise this company highly enough. This is a company I trust and would endorse to friends and family if they needed a locksmith.

Replaced front door lock that was on the way out

Lockassist were fast and efficient in replacing our front door lock system that was on the way out as it was jamming. They came out to remove the faulty lock so it didn't jam whilst parts were ordered and then swapped it out the following day. All done within 4 days of initial contact. Can't recommend them enough.

Thank you for posting your kind review. If we feel feel something is not quite right with the old lock and it's likely to fail, we will always fit a temporary replacement to ensure you don't end up locked in or out! Regards, Paul.
Generous attitude
I saw the Lock Assist van parked up the road in my close, & thought to ask them for advise as they were leaving.. I was a bit concerned about my front door lock & thought it might need changing.. After a brief chat, The guy (Paul?) came to my door & took a look. He asked about how it functions & informed me that with a simple adjustment it could work better..on noticing my bewildered look he went back to the van & came back with a tool, took off the lock, and did the adjustment. I was very grateful & asked hime to send me an invoice which he waved off & said to just leave a revue on Trusted Trader.. Which I now have. Like the feel of this guy, very honest & straightforward, & will be my goto when looking at lock issues in the future ... I don't hesitate to recommend ... Many Thanks John Perry

Hi John, thank you very much for your great review! Sometimes, it just makes sense to fit us to do the job for you if it’s straightforward for us but maybe not so straightforward for the customer. Kind regards, Paul.

We contacted Lock Assist on Tuesday, 18th, had a call back from Paul almost immediately and fixed up to have a new lock fitted the next day. On schedule, Mark turned up, assessed the work needed and carried it out most efficiently. Further, he was able to look at another issue we had with a lock and, again, resolved the issue. The personnel we dealt with at Lock Assist were extremely helpful, most efficient and we would certainly recommend them and use them for our security needs in the future.

Call-out - fast and efficient

I had to call out of hours as my Tenant locked themselves out leaving the key in the lock on the inside. The Lock Assist engineer answered the phone promptly and after a few questions arrived on site 20 minutes later. It took him 10 minutes to get the door open and suggested a new knob turn cylinder to prevent the key being left in the lock again. This was fitted the next morning. It was a great relief to get the situation resolved so quickly, Great service!

Removed broken key from front door and fixed the root cause.

I phoned up Paul, explained the problem. Paul suggested an idea I could try and forwarded video whereby I could try and fix the issue without a professional. However the lock was quite stiff and could not quite solve the problem myself. Paul came through, removed the broken key and sorted out the root cause whereby the barrel was getting caught. It all got fixed in no time and feel re-assured this issue of broken keys in locks wont persist. By fixing the root cause as well as the immediate issue, I feel like I got exceptional value. It was all wrapped up quickly and within the estimated time frame. Paul mentioned if there were any issues I was welcome to give him a call. I will be hanging on to his details for any future work or potential mishaps. I'm a very happy customer.

Hi James, we always try to help as much as possible so you may not need to call out anyone but our, "How to remove a broken key from a lock" YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeKqWrn64Pc didn't help on this occasion. We are very grateful to you for taking the time to write and post your kind review. Regards, Paul.
Reliable service at a fair price

Following the installation of a new door in 2018 we've had trouble from the start with its multipoint lock. Multiple callouts from the original supplier failed to resolve the issues (to the point of having to resolve through small claims court). Eventually, we contacted LockAssist to open our 'seized' lock and door. The response was almost instantaneous. A call-out a few days later (Paul turning up at the agreed time) resolved the issues with a minimum of fuss. The lock is now working as it should and Paul confirmed it had been fitted incorrectly by the original supplier which proved to us we had been right all along. Couldn't ask for better service!
