We were impressed that the locksmith turned up in uniform and had a proper toolkit! He showed us the lock he intended to fit and explained how he installed it. The work was neatly done and we felt very reassured. Many thanks to Carl, a genuine trustworthy Locksmith.
Carl went above and beyond to solve our lock problems. Would recommend any time. Many thanks.
Andrew from Lockfathers is amazing. After watching the scams on the news - it made me ill. I recommend this company, as they do not scam people or rip pensioners off. The team is excellent as is their work. Bless you Andrew. You deserve your success.
The Lockfather team attended today to replace our defective hinges on our front door. They arrived on time, were very polite and extremely helpful and completed the works quickly and to a good standard.
Booking them to attend was also a great experience where they were fast, efficient and again polite. Their pricing was also very competitive and good value for the standard of service we received. Thank you Lockfather team!
This is a great company. Efficient, tidy, friendly and really good value for money. Would recommend.
Avoid this company at all costs.
Rude and arragent man and will charge the earth for small job. He snapped my lock and still couldn't gain entry. Went away and I never saw him again. Totally useless. Then he had the ordasity to send me an invoice for his Time.
James was extremely helpful and explained everything. Would defo use again.
Excellent people. They are reliable, honest, hard working and professional. If you need advice and help, they do their best. Would recommend!! In this day and age, rare to find such service.
Really good, knowledgeable and professional service. The chap who came to our house was really personable and knew exactly how to fix the issue. Brilliant!
