Punctual and informative. Basic call out includes 1 hour labour, and it was suggested that some additional work could be done within this time to make the door close slightly better by relocating the existing latch (?) by a few millimetres - see pic below. I'm very pleased with the quality of the lock and the work.Verified reviewerJob location: SS910 To repair the rubbish job the other scamming locksmith did!

The Lock Father helped us out massively. We hired a scamming rogue locksmith and Carl from the Lock father fixed everything working to perfection until the job was completed offering us so much help and advice. We couldn’t fault him and can’t thank him enough we would highly recommend this company and are still astonished at the sheer difference in quality of work and professionalism from the rogue locksmith to Carl. Go with your gut if something isn’t right I just wish we had called this company first. Thank you again for your help.Verified reviewerJob location: RM310 Sticking & "Clunky" Lock needed analysis & rectification.

I cannot recommend The Lockfather highly enough. From booking the appointment through to completing the work they were professional and knowledgeable. They took their time to ensure the lock was fitted properly, and serviced the hinges and latches at the same time.Verified reviewerJob location: SS4
