We contacted Wayne by email when we are on our way home from holiday. He arrived 5 minutes before we got home from the airport and was extremely helpful. It wasn't an easy job in the dark, but he managed to get us in with good humour and efficiency.

Wayne was great. I only had a quick query about a back door lock and he agreed to come out that day, explained the problem and was then able to fix it on the spot. Very helpful.

Garden Gate Deadlock

Lock Solutions installed a deadlock for me on a garden gate. What stood out was that Wayne gave a clear and informed recommendation for which lock to install (including full pricing information) and then kept me regularly updated on when he would be able to get the lock and fit it. He arrived on time and completed the job to a high standard.

Wayne arrived promptly, was quick and efficient, and most obliging. he had to climb through a small window to get into the house to sort the lock problem, and his fees were most reasonable.

This company is absolutely amazing. We locked ourselves out and the keys were in the house. We also had the dog with us. Rang Wayne and he gave us an approximate time of arrival. He turned up before his expected time and we were back in the house within seconds of Wayne arriving. Very knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend his company to anyone in the future.

I called Lock Solutions when my key wouldn’t work in our front door lock…I was outside with 2 young children and Wayne answered my call and realising our predicament was there within 35 minutes with all the required equipment. He changed the lock with 10 minutes at a very reasonable price. He is very friendly, efficient and easy going. There was no mess left at all and he kept me fully informed from the minute I called to the minute he left. Such a helpful company with great customer service! Thank you Lock Solutions!

Wayne came to fix my high security bike-lock and chain which was attaching my bike to the floor of the garage. As I couldn't open the lock, I couldn't use the bike, but I also couldn't use the garage as the bike was in the way. He came right on time, and did his utmost to fix the lock. Unfortunately he was unable to do this, but I was relieved that he could cut through the heavy duty chain, so that I could use the garage! He did this in a way that he could save the chain for our future use. He was extremely amenable and professional, and he would be my first go to locksmith if I ever needed one again. His charge was also very reasonable.
