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 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.

He phoned, as arranged, prior to his arrival. He was very polite and explained everything as he worked.

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)

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

Alex was very helpful in advising us with our issue, we went back to him quite a time later and asked him to carry out the work, he updated us with prices and ordered the part needed. He came in to fix the issue as soon as the part arrived. Would recommend Alex.

I had one those fiddly jobs that are awkward and required some figuring out for a solution. Alex was prompt to engage with me and persisted until the solution was found and the job completed. I admired his professionalism in doing so and would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly keep his name in my book for any future jobs!

I contacted Alex at New Forest Locksmiths Ltd today at 9.15am to explain that my elderly mother who lives alone in Barton on Sea was struggling to lock her front door. He took all my Mums details as I live over four hours away and told me he would ring her and arrange to go and look at the issue. By 12.30 the lock had been replaced and my Mum felt secure again. I cannot thank Alex enough for the work he carried out but more importantly the compassion and sympathy he showed towards my Mums situation. He also kindly checked my Mums other door locks while he was there. Outstanding service. I would highly recommend Alex and his company to everyone. Thank you so much Alex.

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!

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.

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 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.
