Following the purchase of a house we called Dan to discuss replacing all door locks (having read other google reviews and based on the 5 star rating). Superb service from the point of answering my call through to handing over the new keys once the job had been completed. Arrived incredibly quickly, given I had not booked in advance, and completed the job very promptly without compromising on quality. Excellent knowledge and recommendations, regarding the types of locks and security levels for consideration, and extremely competitive price wise. Thank you very much Dan - would highly recommend your services and would not hesitate to use you again.

Iliyan was a hero! He came super quickly when we locked ourselves out. He was very knowledgeable and diagnosed and fixed our lock in no time. Really excellent service, very good price and he even managed to save most of our existing lock. It actually works better now! A really nice person too. I highly recommend his services!

Completely brilliant and professional set up. The Lock had broken on our iron gate and was welded in. Appointment arranged quickly via WhatsApp. Price competitive. Turned up when promised and the work was carried out efficiently and effectively. And, to top it all off, they use electric/pedal bikes to get round London so are doing their bit for the environment too (and I didn't have to worry about parking permits). 100% recommended.

I was really happy with Ashley from London Locks who offered friendly, honest and informed advice on my lock change having just moved into a new house. He was punctual and carried out the work without mess, damage or delay, changing 3 locks in an hour and a half. He even offered to come back the next day on the way to another local job free of charge to install more options I was considering. The budget was fair and transparent in advance of the job. I would recommend London Locks as a reliable locksmith and will come back to them if I need any work doing.

Brilliant service and very professional A visit was arranged within hours and lock fitted next day. We were given good advice on what was needed and Mark who did the work was efficient and pleasant. Everything was quickly done and dusted and at a very reasonable price. I only wish we had known about them before.

TLDR: Go with London Locks, you won’t regret it. London Locks has a lot of wonderful reviews talking about their; great service, craftsmanship, timeliness to attend jobs, excellent communication skills, accurate quotes and billing, and how they are highly trained and trusted within their profession and members of the Master Locksmiths Association. I agree with all of this and I could write a review detailing how they provided this service for me and more, but what impressed me most about the team was their absolute integrity as a business and commitment to keeping people as safe as possible in their homes. I walked into London Locks to complete what was meant to be a simple errand on my lunch break to get a spare key cut for my front door, after replacing the locks a few months previously with a different locksmith that I found on Google. The team at London Locks took one look at my house keys and knew that the locks on my front door were sub par, and were not the high security and fire safe locks that I had requested to be fitted, and charged a very high price for by a different rouge locksmith. The top lock was a 5 pin rim cylinder, and the bottom lock was a 3 lever deadlock which was only designed for an interior door like a bedroom. Like a lot of people, I had just googled local locksmiths and went with a rouge contractor that seemed reputable and could do the work straight away, and naively paid the price. They knew immediately that I had been scammed by someone who was not skilled at all, known as “49er’s” within the trade for quoting a low initial price, often £49 and dramatically increasing the actual price when they are on the doorstep, breaking the law known as doorstep selling and using a Bait and Switch scam that is unfortunately very common. London Locks gave me quotes for different (actually) high security and fire safe locks along with a door chain, and came to fit a Finfort dual lock set up, with a night latch and deadlock version within a week. I got the version with a thumb turn inside for fire safety. Not only did London Locks do their job as a locksmith as you would expect and fit exceptionally secure locks that are 3 star kitemarked and approved by the police as being pretty much the best, Lloyd also encouraged me to report my original fraudulent locksmith to my bank to try and reclaim some of my money back, and provided me with the evidence and the legal terminology that I needed to do this. They went above and beyond as a team to keep me safe in my home; I don’t have the expertise in locks that they do, and I didn’t realise that I’d been scammed and would have been naively happy, thinking that my home was really secure when it wasn’t. I am beyond grateful.

In my entire adult life, I’ve never been locked out. Until today 😭 Mase was a legend and proper sorted me out considering it was a high security lock and got in quickly and undamaged 💫

Rating: 5 / 5

Perfect service! I required a new lock on the front door after the original broke, I was able to easily arrange a suitable time for the job to be completed with extra keys provided. Mase arrived promptly within the time slot and completed the job to a very high standard, cleaning up previously poorly completed work to improve the aesthetic of the door. Would highly recommend!

Was sceptical at first as you have to pay before they can come out but after speaking with them on the phone i was assured that they were a trusted company. They were here within 20 minutes after completing the payment and Mace did an excellent job of repairing the door handle and lock. Great service with a competitive price. Highly recommended

I had the unfortunate experience of losing my car keys. I found Auto Pro Locksmiths online, and they came to my rescue by creating a replacement key on the same day. Their service was fast and professional, and the price range was very reasonable and competitive. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

They were fabulous! I messaged and arranged for them to come the next day with the price being transparent throughout which is always appreciated. They also were happy to help with an additional spare key that needed to be fixed which was great so I didn’t have to purchase 2 complete new ones. I was kept up to date on arrival time and it was a seamless process from there. They were efficient and quick! Would highly recommend!

Called APL after my mum lost her car key. Got a quote on the spot. They came later that afternoon and got the job done in 1 hour. Quick payment on completion of job. I called around a few companies that APL offered the best price.
