Alex turned up on time and sorted out the jammed lock, replacing the mechanism. He also attended to two other locks that needed adjustment at the same time. All were satisfactorily dealt. He was polite, efficient and friendly. It was good to find a recommended locksmith not too far away. I would be happy to recommend him.

Alex communicated well, was transparent about costs. Arrived as arranged, fast to finish and all in all a very proffessional individual. I would recommend. Job: new locks on 3 doors and a garage.

Alex came to fix the locking mechanism on one of my patio doors. He explained what had happened to the mechanism, the bottom section had become disconnected from the rest of the component and fixed it for me. He then realigned the doors so they shut correctly and squarely. Alex did a great job for me today at a reasonable cost. Thank you Alex.

Another great job done for me by Alex at The New Forest Locksmith. From the moment I made contact with The New Forest Locksmith I found Alex to be very proactive, assertive, and professional. He kept in touch with me all the way through from advising, to installing, to ordering products for me. He was always on time, polite, friendly, clean and tidy. I would not hesitate in recommending Alex at The New Forest Locksmith to anyone looking to change their locks and to get sound advice on the best security available.

Excellent, efficient and professional service. Arrived promptly as per time indicated when I contacted him and got on with the job. Wish we had not left both of the problems with external locks for so long because Alex was able to resolve the issues with both locks swiftly, with no fuss and as he had advised within his quote. Reasonably priced and job well done. We would use this service again if the need arose.

Thank you for taking the time to pen this review for me. I'm pleased I was able to help and thank you for referring to the reasonable cost as many think we are an expensive trade. Ultimately it's often cheaper for us to fix the problems than for them to persist and break further, or for a handyman to have a go. Please do give me a call if you need anything further. All the best. Alex

He phoned, as arranged, prior to his arrival. He was very polite and explained everything as he worked. The work was carried out confidently and effectively and he charged a very reasonable rate for the quality of work. Both doors (front and back doors) now function perfectly. I would recommend the New Forest Locksmith to anyone.

Had the pleasure of meeting Alex for the first time, on Nov 3, having been referred to me (by a car key expert) – my ‘not that old ERA front door lock’ had truly locked. We spoke on the phone, set him photos with an explanation, he gave me a cost which matched the final invoice; he duly arrived as scheduled, took me through the remedial process, aligned the new lock correctly as opposed to the initial installation (by the ‘new build’ builders at the time), and took time to explain best practise on lock maintenance/handling…. Cleared up, tidy, polite, methodical, true professional in his field (and my dog liked him)

Thank you for this review. Yes that one had definitely locked itself up! I'm glad to have been able to help and to undo some of the problems which occurred from install. If there's anything else you need, please do get in touch. Many thanks once again. Alex

This is the second time I have used the New Forest Locksmith. The initial contact is always a pleasure, the phone is answered, the problem understood and a date and time to deal with it is made. On both occasions, the lock was dealt with in under 48 hours (there was no time pressure from my side). The work is done well, very tidy and a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend
