I called Lock Doctors and they came out the same day, luckily for me! The back metal gate had snapped the key off in the lock and the lock doctor luckily had a special tool for the Locinox lock, otherwise it would have been a wasted journey and I would have had to call a specialist! The lock doctor took off the lock and replaced the cylinder with an EVA lock and gave me 3 spare keys. Really friendly and exceptional service. Very happy result for me and the tenants. Thank you!

I had been let down by another locksmith so came to Which? and found The Lock Doctors. My front door handle was loose and I was worried it could come off in my hand so I needed someone to look it over. They turned up on time, kept me informed of what was going on, fitted a new handle and serviced the lock and mechanism. All in all it took about an hour and I felt the price was reasonable for the time and effort involved.

I had recently been in a car crash. During the rescue process I managed to lose the only remaining key to my French door gate leading into the garden. As I am partially disabled this was a major blow. I contacted The Lock Doctors in desperation at 11.17am and low and behold at 12.21pm they arrived. They installed a new lock at a minimal cost and 2 hours later I had my freedom and piece of mind back. They are now plastered all over my FB page lol. I highly recommend them.

Took wrong keys out and locked ourselves out. Had key for bottom lock but not top one. Lockdoctor came round in about half an hour as promised and managed to open the door with a struggle but no damage. Nice guy too and very reasonable price.

Called The Lock Doctors on the Monday evening around 5pm and arranged a visit for the next day. I had called a few other places who are listed on here and had no response until I tried this company. Polite and friendly, the gentleman quickly got to the roots of the issue and it was all corrected in under an hour. Very happy with this service and would both recommend and use again if needed.

Thank you Rich! Availability was amazing, quickly found me a slot for next day, great price and great work. Came to do my sister’s baby bedroom lock in August but I never got round to doing this review.

I'd use him again
I used lock doctors, Richard, communicated well, keeping me informed of his arrival time. He did a free home security check for me, installed locks I wanted in a timely manner on a very hot day. He swapped locks to the main house, put locks on the side access, and attached spring door closers. I'd use him again.

The Lock Doctors were able to come to the property at fairly short notice and were very flexible around timing. They were pleasant to have around and did a fantastic job of replacing the locks, including accomodating an additional request upon their arrival, and offering a better colour of lock to match the hardware of the door. They also swept and tidied up both inside and outside the flat afterwards. Would definitely recommend their services and their honest and fair prices!
