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.

I employed this trader after our third son recommended him as an expert in his field and a thoroughly reliable locksmith.

I have had a much more secure lock installed by Alex ?The New Forest Locksmith?, He arrived on time, installed and tested my new lock, and instructed me on how to use it properly. I have paid, received the invoice, and am very happy with the service I got. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to anybody else who needs a fully qualified Locksmith.

Alex replaced a old front door lock on the Stanpit Village Hall. The completed work is excellent and the trustees are very happy with the work and the price charged. We would definitely use Alex again and would highly recommend him to others.

It was genuinely a pleasure to carry out this work. it was a shame we couldn't get the old lock working but sometimes they have just had their day! You know where I am should you require anything further. All the best. Alex
