Highly recommend using Lockforce. Simon was very knowledgeable and explained everything he was doing along the way. We are thrilled that the whole locking mechanism didn't need replacing, and just needed some serious adjustments to realign everything. He even took the time to show and explain how to do it, so we could do it ourselves if we ever needed to! Thank you Simon More...

My back door broke completely with no way to open. Alan from Lockforce dealt with this promptly with no visible damage despite having to force the door open. He also left behind a better locking system than we had before and gave us great advice regarding aftercare. Fantastic service and I would recommend highly. More...

I can't recommend Lockforce highly enough! Alan from the team was absolutely fantastic—polite, professional, and incredibly efficient. He arrived promptly, assessed the issue quickly, and had everything sorted in no time. His attention to detail and expertise were evident throughout, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Not only did Alan do an excellent job, but he also took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured we were happy with the results. It’s rare to find such outstanding service these days, but Lockforce truly delivers. If you ever need a reliable locksmith, look no further! Thank you, Alan and the Lockforce team—you've earned a customer for life! 🔑🔒 More...

Alan was great in knowing how to sort our lock that had broken on our PVC composite door. He knew what was needed as it was an old lock, and needed to be attentively looked at and sorted. Needless to say we have had it repaired there and then, and have a working lock, new keys and our door realigned. A very happy customer! Far more reasonable price, and competitive than other companies and quotes I found. Alan was chatty and friendly, and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend! More...

Alan arrived on time on a Sunday morning to give us advice on securing our home, it’s Victorian and we really wanted to keep the property period, Using antique brass door fittings throughput. We never realised the problem matching up antique brass locks handles night latches and letterbox and knocker. Alans explained that they would be slightly different in colour because no one manufacturer makes everything we needed. Leaving us something to think about. Very experienced and honest locksmith.

Excellent A star service from Alan, can't recommend enough! I called Lockforce at 8.40am and they arrived at 9.30am. Sorted everything out within an hour.

Alan was fantastic help, he was prompt and very polite, he was extremely helpful and talked me through everything he was doing so that I could best understand what was broken and how to fix it. When he found out I was NHS he offered the work for free! In an out with 15 minutes I was really blown away by how great he was, I have never come across a trade professional that has ever done that for me before. I'll definitely be recommending him to others. More...

Alan was superb - managed to source a new handle for me from some photos and fitted it perfectly despite some issues (with the door! ). While here he took a bit of extra time to adjust and look at my front door for me, and make sure rhat was working better before he left. Really went above and beyond - my first port of call for anything lock/handle/door related. Cannot recommend him highly enough. More...

Alan came to fix the lock on my front door. He advised that the gearbox was worn and needed to be replaced. Alan carried out this work quickly and efficiently and also fitted a thumb turn to the door during his visit. Alan took the time to explain what was causing the issues experienced with the lock and showed me the parts that would be replaced. An absolutely fantastic service was carried out by a very pleasant guy. Cannot recommend Alan and Lockforce highly enough. Keep up the good work! More...

Had a vulnerable relative who needed lock replaced on back door. Immediate response from the Lockforce owner, Alan who visited and applied a temporary fix to the problem and ordered parts for a permanent fix. Parts arrived and he returned on a Sunday and fitted everything needed to completely fix the problem. He even serviced the front door and lock as well. Alan was highly professional and knowledgeable. He arrived on time and delivered on all commitments. Can't thank him enough for the wonderful service! More...
