Brilliant top notch service from start to finish. Needed a door unlocked quite urgently and Lee couldn’t have been more helpful. A locksmith was with us in minutes! You won’t get better customer service anywhere. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic service! The owner went above and beyond, spending a lot of time researching to find the right key code (not sure of the technical term here!), for a very old and quite problematic key, so a challenge, but I now have a new copy and it works perfectly. Previously, I had already tried for 4 months to get this sorted with other key cutters with no luck, so I was very lucky to find this shop. I felt the customer service was outstanding, and he truly went the extra mile. November 2024

Mentor Lock has been excellent. I have an elderly aunt who had lost the only key to a cupboard with the electricity/gas meters. Communication to set up a date to replace the lock was very quick. On the agreed day, Lee telephoned about 15-30 minutes before the arrival of the locksmith to make sure everything was still ok. Locksmith, Andy, arrived on time and completed the work really quickly. Payment over the phone was easy, with a receipt sent straight away by email. Lee and Andy were lovely. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Very happy with the locksmith service provided by Barry - he is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and resolved our issue in no time. Great customer service and his pricing is fair and transparent. I would highly recommend Barry for any locksmith needs! I’m so pleased to have found a contact who we can trust. Thanks again Barry!!

Barry is a true gent. I was desperate and locked out. I called Key King Locksmith and got Barry on the phone. He was so nice, he put me at ease and told me he would be with me within half an hour. True to his word he turned up on time, got me into my house with no problems and then changed all my locks as I had stupidly lost my keys. I would recommend Key King Locksmiths to anyone.

Barry saved me from a pickle. Tried to change my key barrel myself and destroyed my front door. Called Barry who arrived within 90 mins and sorted my door out all within a reasonable price which was agreed on the phone. Not a lot of emergency lock smiths that don’t try and squeeze some extra money out of you. Would recommend him for his professionalism and work.

Fantastic service. Replied promptly - came round next day on time to fix the issues we had at a fair price. Would highly recommend and will use again in future!

I would thoroughly recommend this company especially if you are a landlord needing locks changed at a repossession. Gary attended in good time and was very helpful in what could have been a really stressful situation. His experience and calm approach was appreciated. The company is up front with pricing and very fair.

Such a professional and efficient locksmith, I had an issue with my lock and needed a new one. I got prompt service on the same day, sent over a picture of my lock and once the locksmith arrived he had everything he needed and done the job within 10 minutes. Will definitely recommend and will be sure to use this service if needed in the future.

Awesome service: Safth was there in a flash and replaced our broken lock in minutes - as I had sent him images, he brought all the components needed with him and the problem was solved at a great price. And he's a top bloke too!

Excellent service. Came out within 30 mins to fix a jammed bathroom door. Aweth was very fast and professional and honest, unlocking the jam and even creating another hole for our lock (which was never done when we first got the lock fitted lol). Would highly recommend their service.

Had a great experience with Rob and Roslin from Swift Locksmiths. We were having an issue with our front door not locking and reached out for their assistance, Rob was able to provide his expert opinion and arranged for his colleague Roslin to visit and help us out. Roslin arrived exactly when agreed and was able to replace a part to get us up and running again in under 30 minutes. He confirmed the costs of remediation works before commencing any replacements and had the necessary parts on hand to resolve the issue. I have no reservations recommending the reliable and efficient service they provide and whilst I hope to not need their services again anytime soon, if I do I know exactly who I’ll be reaching out to.

Fabulous and reasonably priced service. Quickly installed my key safe, offered to use more secure screws if necessary, flexible options for payment, cleaned up after themselves, polite, friendly and offered to set up combination. What more could u ask for?

Stupidly locked myself out, but these guys got to me within 15 mins and got me back in within minutes to retrieve my keys. Fast friendly service. Totally transparent about pricing and very reasonable. Saving their number but hope to not need them again for the same reason!!

If you need a locksmith, these are definitely the guys to call. A door in my home was stuck shut and it wouldn't budge no matter what I tried. I was nervous about calling anybody out to help, after being ripped off in the past. However, there was nothing to worry about with Luke and Arthur, who were professional and efficient at their job. Luke was my first contact, and he was very friendly and helpful. He explained that he was not in the area, but his colleague was, and may be able to come and help. Arthur then rang me and arranged to come by (on his day off). He arrived quickly, and he managed to get the door open, for a very reasonable price. Arthur was a lovely, friendly guy who was efficient at his job, and took his time to talk to me afterwards. If I ever needed a locksmith in the future (touchwood I won't), then I would not hesitate to call top lock technicians! They provide an amazing service and they are honest and reliable. They are not out to take advantage or rip people off like other locksmiths that I have encountered previously. Thank you guys.

I just want say a massive thank you to Nicky at saxon locks. From the 1st phone call to try and change a lock from a 40 year old safe that we originally brought from them it took a few hour for her to source. We live 3 and 1/2 hours away. She was polite and very friendly and enthusiastic about trying to get an outcome which she did so well and they will send us the new mechanism. Thank you so much and would recommend 100%.

Simply amazing! I'd been searching for a particular type of old inside door lock online for a couple of weeks by (as instructed by 'experts') Googling the dimensions of the backset, the height and depth of the case and the forend length, however had no luck whatsoever. Even tried the 'genius' of ChatGPT, all to no avail. So just decided to go into Saxon's with the broken lock I needed replacing, just on the off chance that they might be able to direct me to a website that could potentially help - however they did much better than that - in literally less than 30 seconds, they'd found the perfect match, there in the shop. Oh my days! Talk about lock stock! Where are the two smokin' barrels? I'm in locksmith heaven! Ten quid, job done, blummin' happy lad!! Got home, fixed it straight in, job's a good'un! Full marks! Decent blokes an' all!

Excellent customer service. Door locking mechanism wasn't working, popped in to Saxon and after explaining the situation they had an engineer booked that afternoon, sorted in no time. Friendly, helpful service, highly recommend!

I can't thank saxon enough, they were excellent service from start to finish, from the office staff who took my booking to the gentleman who came promptly to fix the locks. as I m not a. expert in this area ,but needed sturdy locks on my front door, they advised me very professionally, send me photos of the locks to view and choose their quote absolutely matched with the final invoice, gauntee ,receipts and full paperwork supplied by the fitter. no rip off here!!!!! the quality and installation were excellent, second to none the fitter took away all the dust and even took the old locks away ,for free, for metal recycling. wow!!! I am extremely satisfied with the service, also they don't make you wait weeks and weeks , no problem to get a fitting date easily. the fitters all have the company vans etc,so no security issues ,also you pay over the phone, by a card, no cash ,which means that when the job is done, you are happy with the work, then you can pay. superb service,will highly recommend to friends and family. kind regards

I needed keys cut to the barrel (I did not have keys for it and wanted to keep the lock) after calling round a few places and was ready to give up when I thought I'd pop in here as I was passing, the guys there were fantastic! They asked me to leave the lock with them and called me less than 24hrs later letting me it was done! Amazing service at a very reasonable price! I'll definitely be using them again 👍🏻

Rating: 5 / 5

I have had keys copied here, and have purchased a combination padlock, which the owner kindly set for me. The on-the-spot key cutting cost was quite reasonable, and the location, almost adjacent to the Addiscombe Tram Stop, is very convenient. Highly recommended! (2/24 Seems to have restricted operating hours at present per sign below.)

JW Locks (now also Addiscombe Security) provide an excellent service at highly competitive rates. Efficient, friendly and highly knowledgeable.
