Scanlon Security Locksmiths

My wife called this company who answered quickly asked us to carry out a simple task of our door and arranged to come and see the door the following day. He was able to resolve the issue and guaranteed the work for 2 years. Will definitely use this company again. Thank you.

I needed the lock changed in the back door for a high security version as the original key was lost. As the special lock was required to be ordered, Patrick installed a temporary lock so the house was secure .He returned a few days later to install the high security lock. He also called to my parents on the same day to change a lock and correct the door mechanism without having to make an appointment. Great result.

Required a locksmith who could repair my 83 year old mum who has dementia, broken porch door. Had a really good experience with this company, after being quoted by another company an amount I felt was too high and another didn’t even bother to come back to me. So very happy with the quote which was considerably less from Scanlon than I was quoted before and after sending photos of the problem porch door, was able to carry out the work despite being very busy and could only fit the job in originally for the following week. However, because it was agreed we would meet today to see what would be required, the work was done there and then. It was more challenging than expected but the work was carried out successfully and my mum is happy she doesn’t have to fight with the door anymore. Would absolutely have no problem in recommending this company.

At 4:30, we found our front door had stopped locking. Rang Scanlon Service and they were with us 45 minutes later. They identified and fixed the problem in about 45 mins. Absolutely brilliant!!!

The garden shed door (mortice) lock somehow got damaged and was unable to be opened with the key. Patrick was able to attend the next day after calling to fix the problem. He arrived on time, managed to get access to the damaged locking mechanism, and got the door to open. He also had a replacement lock in his van, so was able to install a replacement lock straight away. All in all, the work was completed efficiently and satisfactorily with a very reasonable cost.

Pvc door lock stopped working completely and so I found Patrick Scanlon on Which? Trusted trader. He arrived at the property at the prearranged time, had a look at the door and lock and identified that the gearbox needed replacing. He told me there and there what the quote would roughly be and he left immediately to get the part. He fitted the gearbox, made sure everything else like the cylinder lock was working fine and had a quick look at another door that wasn’t working that well. The cost of the work was spot on what he quoted and did not charge for the time it took to get the new part and made sure the area was clean before leaving. Few months later, had an issue with the same door and called Patrick again. He arrived a couple of days later as planned and identified that the gearbox that was fitted previously was faulty and a new one would be required. Even though the fault was not his, he did not charge me for the replacement work and immediately went to get the new part, fitted it and made double sure that things were working well. He kept me up to date during the process, took the time to explain the issue to me clearly and worked quickly and professionally. Patrick is certainly now my go-to locksmith and cannot recommend him enough to others.

The front door had warped making the locks hard to open and close. We also wanted a new cylinder fitted. Mr Scanlon arrived on time and checked which cylinder was needed. He then lost no time in fitting the cylinder and adjusting the door frame fittings to allow the two locks we had told him about to work properly. In addition, he also fixed a mortice lock that had never worked. Finally, he hoovered up afterwards and left the place tidy. The final bill was as per estimate and very reasonable. Mr Scanlon is a gentleman and we would have no hesitation in contacting him again.

Patrick arrived at the agreed time, and found the job (rear upvc door lock) to be more complicated than he had anticipated. He therefore had to go to Croydon, to the only open supplier, to collect additional parts. On returning, the works were carried out quickly, efficiently and cleanly; job well done, and left clean and tidy. I paid the standard call out charge, and for a replacement lock. Charges for the round trip to Croydon were not included, hence the 'flexibility' in the title box.

Needed to change our lock for insurance purposes. Found Patrick's name through Which Trusted Traders and contacted him. He arranged to call round a few days later and offered us 2 different options but advised that only the cheaper one was required. He carried out the work in no time at all in a friendly and professional manner. Would definitely recommend.
