WG Locksmiths Ltd

Representatives of WG Locksmiths came out to my property within five hours of first contact, which was absolutely brilliant considering that my lock issue wasn't a serious emergency. Paul and Tomas were so friendly and provided high-quality window locks, handles and a front door lock. I felt lucky that WG Locksmiths had everything I needed in stock, and were able to attend so promptly. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and included a really helpful demonstration of how all of the new items worked. I would heartily recommend WG Locksmiths, and would have no qualms about calling them again if another issue they could attend to was to arise.

Paul was very helpful, he carried out our lock change quickly and fit us into his schedule as soon as possible. He was very quick at replying to emails, we would use him again.

Paul the locksmith is to be highly recommended for his good work and professionalism. I was dog sitting at my friend’s house so she could take a holiday. I decided to Chubb lock the front door, to give extra night time security. The next morning I found it was impossible to unlock the door, no matter how hard I tried. I contacted my fiend’s sister, who had a spare key, but she couldn’t unlock the door from the outside either. As a long standing Which? subscriber, I searched for Which? trusted traders and found Paul. He was very helpful, and was able to come to me the same morning. He gave me a quote for the work and gave me an update on his progress on his way to my address. Unlocking the door was tricky due to the nature of the faulty Chubb lock, but Paul was able to ‘rescue’ me despite not being able to access the inside of the house. It was quite a task to get in, but there was no damage to the front door. I would recommend Paul. His fees are very reasonable and he explained what he was doing whilst working.

Highly recommend Paul for the work done. My front door lock and handle broke first thing on a Monday morning, which made entering the house extremely difficult, not to mention the stress. I contacted WG Locksmiths as they were the only local trader who were open at 7.30am! Paul was able to give a detailed and thorough quote on what work was needed and a breakdown of the parts, with various options to choose from. He was really professional and helpful with my follow up questions too. Work was completed by lunchtime and the final price extremely competitive within the market price range. He carries a card machine for payment too - so convenient and the first time I've seen a local trader have it handy! I will be saving Paul's number on my contact list for the foreseeable future!

We called WG Locksmiths after the locks on our front door started to stick. They were able to attend the same day, communicated very well about arrival time and cost, and arrived at the agreed time. The friendly, professional service received was exemplary, the locks were fixed in no time at all and within the proposed fee, and everything works beautifully. No more slamming doors or forcing the key in the lock. Excellent all round and thoroughly recommended.

Paul was great at keeping me informed first of when he would be available, and then of when he would arrive. He then patiently provided all the necessary information on possible options for replacing locks for which the keys had been lost and related costs, and then quick to install the option chosen. He was very careful and tidy with the work, checking that the new locks and keys worked, and with clearing up afterwards. Excellent work and no complaints at all!

Yesterday, I accidentally left my keys in the front door and by the time I realised what I'd done, they were gone. Somebody (anybody!) had my keys and knew where I lived! I looked up locksmiths on Trusted Traders, rang Paul this morning and by lunchtime we had new locks, quickly and efficiently fitted. We anticipated that we might need to wait a day or two to get the work done, which we could have managed, but Paul responded immediately and arrived at the time he estimated. Much appreciated!

We had our locks changed when we moved home. Paul was really clear about the options, and pros and cons. And really didn't try and upsell. He worked efficiently, quickly and neatly. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service - prompt, very helpful advice and resolved the issue with lock providing helpful tips to avoid future problems

I really appreciated that Paul fitted us in quickly, given that our broken lock on the door into the garden wasn't an emergency. He explained what the problem was and how he fixed it, and it was all resolved very fast. Definitely keeping his number for future use.

Paul was very helpful and passed on a lot of interesting and useful information while doing the work.

Paul came yesterday to fix a lock that was broken. He was very efficient. Extremely friendly and offered us some extra advice on how to keep safe. I would without a doubt recommend Paul as a locksmith. He takes a pride in his work and you can see this in the outcome of his craft. Our new lock now matches our copper piping (we didn't ask for this but Paul noticed that it would be complementary and gave us one to add aesthetic value). We are extremely pleased with how it looks, and now feel safer than ever! Thanks Paul!

Paul responded to my call promptly, explained all options clearly and offered advice on how to use the lock efficiently.

I was very pleased with WG locksmiths. I lost my keys and needed my locks changed and Paul was able to get to me quickly. He was very clear about prices for the locks and his time and invoiced accordingly. When he arrived he was professional and courteous and talked my husband and I through our options in a way that was clear and helpful. He then completed the work quickly and efficiently. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him.

Easy to book, Paul arrived on time and offered several options and made sure we were happy with the work, price as expected

Paul made a great effort to complete the work to a high standard at a very short notice. He also calibrated another door at no extra charge.

Paul arrived right on time and succeeded in unlocking a garage door that had been locked for 50 years after the key had been lost. Excellent professional service and good value. He is a tradesman who will go the extra mile for you. Will definitely use him for all locksmith jobs in future.

I phoned Paul with an urgent job for new tenants and he arrived at the property few hours later, having already priced up the work. He communicated with me throughout.

Paul came round the same day as I enquired about replacing the lock on my new flat. Not only was his quote more reasonable than others, he was very courteous, professional and had replaced my lock within 5 minutes! Excellent service and I would highly recommend. Thank you Paul.

Paul came, by arrangement, the day after I had contacted him. He removed an old worn-out lock, fitted a new one and cleared up afterwards. He also gave me sound advice on security measures. A very pleasant and professional individual whom I would thoroughly recommend.

I have contacted Paul to help with a stiff lock which was deteriorating to the point that the door could barely be locked at some point. Due to a misunderstanding, which I take some responsibility for, what I thought was the initial appointment was not, in fact, booked. Upon realising that his customer was unhappy Paul offered to readjust his day schedule and even offered to come out of hours, late evening to assess the job. Paul came after 20h and completed the job there and then and sorted the problem. So if ever there is a problem using WG Locksmith, they will be accountable and help you sort out the issue, whoever's fault it is, which is going above and beyond for their customers.

I contacted Paul one afternoon as our front door lock wasn’t working properly, he came round the same evening, fixed it quickly and was courteous and polite!

Knowledgeable and helpful. We had just been burgled and he provided advise on replacing the locks and general security, but there was no pressure to buy any additional products. I would certainly use this company again.

Front door (UPVC) lock was failing. Rang Paul (having found him via the Which Trusted Traders website) who came out promptly and fitted a new one. He explained all my options clearly which was very helpful. He knows his subject! Very pleasant to deal with and I would recommend his service.

Needed an urgent lock change after a break-in. Contacted Paul, who asked me to email photos of the existing lock. He arrived within a couple of hours, at exactly the time he had promised, with a full range of locks for me to choose from, explaining the relative merits and limitations of each model, together with prices. Installation was quick and straightforward. All in all, a very professional service from a pleasant and knowledgeable individual. Highly recommended.

I found Paul very professional, communicative and friendly. His communication was constant and excellent. His quote was professionally sent in an email with all accompanying information. Would definitely recommend him.

Paul came within an hour of my calling him to see to a front door Chubb lock that wouldn't lock. He explained how it was practically impossible to repair a 30-year-old lock and recommended a new one. He took every trouble with the fitting, explaining everything to me as he worked, sorted out a problem with positioning which had been straining the lock, and repositioned the old cover from the outside to the inside so the draft would not come through. Cleared up everything afterwards and took all the old bits away with him.

Happy to recommend Paul. He came back to me promptly with a quote and was able to complete the work quickly. He kept me up to date with any details both by phone and email, and was very polite. Thank you!

There was no mess and no fuss. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I would definitely use his services again.

I definitely recommend Paul if an excellent locksmith is who you require.

Paul of WG Locksmiths proved invaluable on a Saturday afternoon at short notice. He carries a choice of stock and was able to speedily repair my jammed front door’s Yale lock. He is, as others have described, courteous, clear in explanation, tidy, a clean workman and professional. His charges compare favourably.

Paul replaced the main locks and installed a new one for compliance with insurance. Workmanship was of the highest standards. I could not have recommended it high enough. Professional and knowledgeable.

From Which? Trusted Traders I found Paul, read all the good reviews about him, thanks for all the people who recommend Paul. Paul has done the very good job, he fixed locks in our small office, the the job was not very simple to comply , he came to our office to check the door before fixing, and this visit is free of charge, and get the tricky job done a few days later. I will commend Paul to anyone who need locksmith.

Paul installed a lock for us today and did an excellent job. He’s courteous, professional and very conscientious. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Paul recently changed/ upgraded 3 locks on our flat in Balham following a break-in. He also installed some security hardware on our front door.

He responded promptly to all our questions, was proactive in terms of suggesting suitable locks / security solutions and he installed everything we agreed upon promptly and efficiently. No fuss, no mess. Highly recommended.

I do not have a lot to add to the very positive Reviews on Paul and WG Locksmiths. Paul responded quickly to my request for help.
