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.

Replaced all locks and added some new on a new (old) house.

Paul from Lock Assist came round and replaced all the locks on this new (old) house - some of which dated back to when it was built. He arrived on time, was polite and helpful, provided an efficient service, and left everything immaculate. He showed us how each locked worked and made sure we were happy with everything before leaving. I have used Lock Assist before in my previous house and found them to be excellent then too, hence me using them again. Very professional outfit - I would highly recommend.

Called on Saturday lunchtime and came out that day at a time that suited me to replace a broken Yale lock. Also fixed a small problem with the mortice lock without needing to ask. Very friendly and highly recommended.

I locked myself out early on a Saturday morning, called Lock Assist and they were here within 30 minutes - no damage, no need for new keys or locks I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again (though hopefully won't have to) I would have given 5 stars for everything but it was quite expensive and I was completely stuck so had little choice - but what price do you put on someone coming to your rescue so quickly when you've done something so dumb!

Thank you for you taking the time to write your review. We strive to gain access non destructively by picking open and with bespoke tools and feel we are competitively priced and considerably less than those that advertise £49 and the customer ends up getting their lock destroyed (and sometimes the door) and get a bill for £800 which often includes unnecessary work and highly inflated lock prices. Regards, Paul.
Great work, really nice people

We had a metal double door that was unusable. Paul and his team at Lockassist went the extra mile to repair the door to fully functional. We have worked with Lockassist for many years and have always found them to be very professional and helpful. Would recommend them to anyone.

We had to change our locks yesterday as keys were stolen and someone from Lock Assist came within 10 minutes of my phone call. The locks were changed for us within a few minutes and the locksmith was very pleasant and polite. We were advised of the costs from the beginning and found it very reasonable. Would definitely use Lock Assist again.

Proper British Standards (and I'm not just talking about the locks they installed!)

Having moved to different properties across different countries, I've dealt with many locksmiths, but dealing with Paul and his team made me realise that they're not all created equal. Professional, polite, and proper results were the key things I was looking for and thankfully, Lock Assist delivered on these. During the property visit, even before discussing the type of locks to use, Paul drilled down on what each room will be used for, and discussed options based on that. You won't have to worry about procuring the locks yourself because they arrange that for you to ensure QA of the items. Beyond the functionality, these guys also genuinely care about how the locks fit the property. They can save you from yourself by suggesting what is "in keeping with" a modern or traditional house, and have the patience to explain what brushed/matte/satin and nickel/silver/chrome, if you care about that. I am super appreciative that they managed to install the locks we needed prior to us moving into our house, which ensured we could sleep soundly on moving day. We were so satisfied with the service that prior to completing the first batch of locks, we booked them in for a follow-up service for what would have been 'optional' to us at the start, such as the keyless combi lock for the garden. Be warned, you will be advised accordingly when you deal with Paul :D But if you want things done right and 'up there' in terms of standards, they're great.
