Locks Replaced
Gavin was extremely efficient and replaced two front door locks. Everything was left clean and tidy. Very pleased I called Locksmart Devon to rescue me.

Pitched up and did the job efficiently
We has 2 thumb catches to be reinstated, a retainer on a double glazed door and cupboard needed a discrete locking set up. Gavin arrived early assessed his jobs and set to work. Work was completed in approx. 1 hr which was as quoted on visual inspection of the jobs. Whilst undertaking the work he also provided additional keys so we could provide access to additional family members without needing to go to a keycutters separately. Clearly knows what his customers might want and asks the right questions to determine what that might be. Great work and a very nice chap to boot.

Lock repair
My front door lock failed. I looked for a locksmith on Which Trusted Trader and found Gavin who was local to where I live. A call at breakfast time resulted in him arriving late morning to replace the lock. Gavin was punctual, kept me informed of his progress to my home and was friendly and efficient. He had a replacement lock on his van and fitted it in no time. A very satisfactory result.

My 'Tantalus'
Having spoken to Gavin on the phone (COVID restrictions in place) he undertook to attempt to unlock my tantalus which is probably nearly 200 years old. Not one of his usual jobs. in fact, a first but did say there were no guarantees! Clearly, Gavin likes a challenge! He dismantled the lock to see how it was meant to work, identified the problem, and after a while. BINGO. This job had to be repaired as impossible to replace and I am so delighted with the now functioning tantalus. Great job Gavin. many thanks!

We contacted Gavin after being recommended his services, after moving into a new home and needing the locks changed and upgraded. He responded very quickly to our initial enquiry, conducted a home visit the same day and the new locks were fitted within the week. Great service and would highly recommend him.

Replacement lock / door mechanism
Gavin came to our Aid on 21st January and completed Works for us on 22nd January 2020, as part required. Gavin was excellent and resolved an ongoing problem from a previous Locksmith that attended our property on 28th December and never came back to complete job. We can not speak highly enough for the service he gave us and the prompt response. Gavin is very polite professional and will 100% carry out work to a high standard. He also cleaned up and hoovered the door way after works completed. He has a card machine which is a bonus so we were able to pay immediately. The invoice was also confirmed as soon as payment was made. If you need a locksmith do not hesitate to use Gavin Gavin ensured work was completed on time, was very helpful and had excellent communication throughout.

Excellent service
My daughter was driving her car to do her driving test, with me beside her. We stopped at Halfords to change an indicator bulb prior to the test. While doing this, the car doors auto locked with the keys inside! Great! With half an hour to spare before the test a lovely gentleman contacted Gavin at Locksmart for us and told him our predicament. He arrived in great time, undid the car door for us, and knowing our situation told us to get going to the test centre where I could then pay him while my daughter did her test. Absolutely great service, very polite, cannot recommend enough. Very reasonably priced too.

broken ignition key stuck in lock.
Holiday in Devon. Car key broke in a door lock. Stranded. Phoned Locksmart Devon. Was with me within an hour. Was courteous, professional and reliable. Would recommend to anyone. Rang my insurance prior to get idea of cost and Locksmart Devon was reasonably priced compared to what my insurer quoted. Holiday rescued! Thanks Locksmart.

Great locksmith at an excellent price
When you are locked out, you are wide open to being exploited and overcharged by a locksmith, as others tried to do to me. Gavin, however, is very genuine. He arrived quickly, was very friendly, and sorted me out. His charge was so low, I actually queried it! I have no hesitation in fully recommending him, and would happily use him again.

Very efficient and pleasant to have in the house.
I had a faulty back door lock and was a bit worried about employing a locksmith as I had heard they could be expensive, also I didn’t know any. But I found Gavin on the Trusted Trader/Which recommended site. He came on the same day, on time. A very pleasant person who did a very good job in a short time. I asked him about another job to do another day and he kindly did that too because he said I had paid for the hour. I feel he is a very trustworthy genuine person and good to have around. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Our UPVC/Glass Porch Door was out of alignment with the frame and it was becoming increasingly difficult to lock. I phoned Gavin who came the next day, re-aligned the door in the space of half an hour and guaranteed his work for 3 months. The lock now operates as new. I am very pleased with the service and do not hesitate to recommend Gavin.

We were locked out and desperate to get in. My son phoned Locksmart and he came within 30 minutes and door was open very important as I am an asthmatic. Needed to take my medication and next day he came, fitted new lock and we will now be recommending him to anybody who has the same problem. Also he has a very pleasant way of making you feel at ease. Thank you Gavin McNae.

Gavin arrived over 40 minutes late which was a trifle annoying. He took the best part of an hour to programme the new key for the car. I have no idea if that is par for the course however it beats having to go to the dealer to get a new key programmed. Gavin was courteous and listened patiently to one of our grandchildren's life story whilst he was working.

We had the gearing in our back door replaced when we couldn't get it to unlock. I called them for a quote and Gavin happily gave me advice on what he thought I needed and how much it would cost. I called him back the next day and he came that afternoon to fix the door. He was very friendly when he arrived and was polite and chatty to both myself and my young daughter. He carried out the work to a high standard and was done within an hour. Excellent service was given.
