I needed a new nightlatch fitted to my front door, so contacted Lee at Mentor locks. He was very helpful and when I sent him pictures of the old lock, was able to recommend a replacement, with fitting, at a very reasonable price. The work was completed on time with minimal fuss and disruption. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and I would definitely use his services again.

I spoke to Lee at Mentor requesting some assistance with my front door lock. Within 1 hour Lee had told me Andy the locksmith was on his Way. Andy was very knowledgeable and within 20 minutes had completed the repair including identifying a problem on another lock and also fixing that. The price was very reasonable and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this company

deadlock fix

Came round the same day I enquired about their services, which was because they were doing other jobs in the area. They worked quickly and well to fix a deadlock that wasn't working properly. Even took a quick look at my windows for me. If you need them to visit a room with a carpet and would prefer them not to wear shoes, be prepared to put out some cardboard or tarpaulin for them to walk on. They were happy to wear a mask which was reassuring for me.

I couldn't unlock my gate. Lee was very helpful on the phone. I phoned him late afternoon on a Monday and by 12:30 the next day it was fixed. Extremely efficient and very reasonable priced. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

What a fantastic local trader. I phoned Lee on Thursday to talk to him about my kaput front door lock. Andy visited that day, diagnosed the problem and identified the part required. It was delivered to Mentor on Friday and fitted the same day. Lee gave me a ballpark price during the first call and it was done within the price quoted. Can’t ask for anything more. Thank you Lee and Andy. You provided a first-class service.

Back door lock replacement

Replaced a rear door lock that had failed in the locked position. Access via the closed door was not essential, so arranged with Lee a mutually convenient date a few days later for a replacement. The attending locksmith was prompt, friendly, and tidy, and work was done within the price-range quoted for based on the work and parts required. A slight issue with the lock tension was resolved the same day I spoke to Lee about it. Overall an efficient and friendly team with good communications and aftercare service and would definitely use Mentor Lock again and recommend to others.
