I had the lock/strip replaced on my front door a couple of months ago - no problems since. Paul was lovely - patient and obviously very knowledgeable, which made a huge difference especially as I had been unimpressed by/unsure of most (more local) that I had spoken to previously. I thoroughly recommend them as a ‘customer friendly’ and ‘very accommodating’ business - especially important during the pandemic.

We just moved into a new home in new area and needed our locks changed and some new window locks. Lock Assist were so helpful, efficient, professional and friendly. Everything was done with a minimum of fuss and really quickly. Their costs were very competitive too. They even found some replacement keys for some old window locks. Fantastic service - Would recommend them to anyone.

I needed an old lock replaced as the keys had been lost. The engineer was really helpful in keeping the look and feel of the period door, and was able to keep the internal period latch in place which looks great. He also helped me get the door moving more freely in the frame with some great tips.

I got locked in at 9 pm on Saturday night in the middle of coronavirus. Paul came out within the hour and sorted the problem. It was not a straightforward problem but Paul sorted it expertly and with good humor.

Having become locked out of the house due to problematic front door, contacted Lock Assist a local company. Phone answered promptly by receiver who listened to my problem and gave an instant quote to repair. The lock engineers arrived with the 10 minutes and quickly resolved the problem. Advice given and a new upgraded lock fitted which also helped us to resolve issues of leaving a key on the inside when leaving the house. Definitely an experienced company with excellent skills and communication to the customer.

From a speedy email response through to job completion, the service has been fantastic. Paul is very knowledgeable and was quick to offer advice on how to secure our property. As agreed, Lock Assist came the next morning and had the part needed on the van. Work was completed, including some necessary adjustments, and now the lock is better than ever. Nice team, great service, job done, couldn't ask for more.

Lock Assist fitted new locks to the front and back doors on the day we moved into our new home. They were incredibly prompt, very friendly and they made multiple visits within 24 hours to make sure the locks were exactly right - even fitting a new lock and returning the next day to change again to make the colour and size fit perfectly. I would highly recommend them.

I required my home and garden to be secured in time for my Grandson's next visit, he has autism. Paul and Carl where very understanding and offered professional advice. Although the quote was a little more than I hoped the work done is worth every penny. The quality of workmanship, care of my home (and dog) and professional friendly manner were excellent.

Contacted Paul over the phone. Explained the work required for bathroom locks. Paul suggested a visit and he was over the next day. Looked at doors and explained the costs and materials involved. Did the work and for no extra cost removed the rattle from the front MAIN door - top service. Very prompt and went the extra mile in replacing the door handles as well. Very happy with the service and will definitely recommend.

I've been to Lock Assist before to buy parts and have always found them helpful and a pleasure to deal with. On this occasion I had to call them out as our front door lock had jammed, and they responded very quickly and efficiently, getting us secure until a part could be ordered, and managing my expectations in terms of the likely cost. They then returned to fit the part and repair the door - all done quickly and efficiently. A pleasure to deal with a company that values customer service and I have no hesitation in recommending them
