Security Posts

My wider family own a small pice of land which was being used fir non authorised parking. The solution I realised was to install 2 folding security posts but not living locally to the land and not have the required tools myself who could I get to undertake the work? Being familiar with the Master Locksmith Association I fond The New Forrest Locksmith who took on the task, recommended a better post than I had found and although he had not done this before, installed the posts for me. Great and friendly service and someone being willing to go the extra mile. Would recommend and use again.

Alex responded very quickly to my request for new locks for the house. It was quite a tricky job, but he took time and effort to make sure it was done properly. He cut some spare keys on the spot, cleaned up after himself and even helped to realign the front door, which was a bit wonky! Also very friendly - would definitely recommend!

Alex successfully fixed the existing 'Yale' type lock on our front door which was failing due to incorrect original installation some 15 years ago. He also fitted a deadlock to the same door. He was meticulous in his work, which was carried out to a very high standard, on time, and to the estimated cost. He kept us informed of progress at all stages of the work and left the hallway in a clean and tidy condition. He is friendly, professional, communicative and very, very good at his job.

From start to finish Alex was excellent. Communication was spot on from the very first email. Alex took the time to talk through the various different options and was very knowledgeable about them all. There was no pressure to use his services at all, but after his friendly manner you wouldn't go elsewhere. I will definitely be using Alex's services again and will be recommending him to friends and family. Faultless, thanks again Alex!

Fixed faulty door lock

Alex phoned to give me an update on his arrival time. Initially, he was only going to look at the door lock to assess whether to repair or to replace. However, he determined he could fix it then and there. He did a good job and door now closes and locks correctly. I would recommend Alex to anyone.

I don't regularly write reviews but the quality of service and standard of work carried out by them deserves a special mention. Having recently moved into our new home we required new and additional locks on both the back and front of the house. I researched and found The New Forest locksmith who had a full set of qualifications. They promptly made an appointment to carry out a survey in which he was very approachable and came up with a schedule of work and the price by the end of the meeting which was agreed along with the fitting date. The day before returning to carry out the work he contacted me by text to check all was in order and remind me of the time he would be arriving. He carried out the work to a very high standard and left everything clean and tidy as he proceeded. Before leaving everything that had been fitted was fully explained. Perfect Transaction, thank you.

I've used Alex 3 times now and his work is always of the highest quality. On this occasion, unprompted by myself, he also double-checked the repairs he did at his previous visit to make sure everything was still OK (which it was). Service is always prompt, very efficient and professional. I thoroughly recommend this company

After new extension works had been completed we had just learn to live with the sub-standard locks/handles that had been fitted on our bespoke doors. It just got to the point when I wanted someone local with more experience to provide their assessment and remedy. Alex responded promptly and organised a visit. He arrived as scheduled and knew exactly what was wrong, why and how to fix it. Alex was on a tight schedule but even took a look at another door and sorted that. Alex is extremely personable, professional, reliable and goes beyond what was expected of him to keep you happy. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the review. I often come across problems which have not been solved by the original installers and so it was great to find a solution. Anything else you need, please get in touch of course.

I was recommended this trader. I am renting out my mums old bungalow, the front door has never really worked/locked well. This locksmith came out to me within 24hrs, he removed the whole locking mechanism and then put it right and put it all back again, so now I have a good door that works again as it should. This trader was very good, quick, nothing was too hard, you could tell he didn't want to be beaten by our old door! I would highly recommend him. Thank you.
