10 Door Lock Repair
Posted 11 November 2024
It was not an easy job to complete but the repairer persevered and achieved the result we were both happy with - thank you!Verified reviewerJob location: IP3210 Door lock repair

My garden door lock broke this morning, three hours later the repair was completed. I was given an evaluation of the problem and several possible cost scenarios before the work was undertaken. Very satisfied with the speed and quality of the service.Verified reviewerJob location: CB110 Door lock replacement

Josh contacted me really quickly after I posted the job on Checkatrade, arranged to come the next day. Confirmation of time of arrival on the day. The job was done quickly and efficiently. He also ensured the doorframe compensated for the door which had dropped. Talked me through everything, including other options for locks, handles and costs for new doors.Verified reviewerJob location: PE161 24 hour service? Definitely not!

On Monday evening (7 October 2024), my tenant had an emergency, i.e. he could not get into his flat anymore, so I called Homefront Locksmiths. After all, they are listed first (as one of two companies only) in the Checkatrade directory for Cambridge and Haverhill, Edition 14. I called repeatedly, only to hear repeatedly that nobody can pick up the phone. After a while, I tried the second Checkatrade locksmith (review to follow), who actually answered, accepted the job, made an appointment, only to 5 minutes later cancel that appointment. What kind of companies do you advertise in Checkatrade?Verified reviewerJob location: CB410 Broken door locking mechanism

Great quick, clean work. Explained everything and provided total price before ordering specific replacement part and fitting a few days later. Made the door safe and temporarily lockable in the meantime. Could make payment on card machine.Verified reviewerJob location: IP329.5 External house door lock

Josh came to our house on the day of my call, within the agreed time-slot. Having checked the lock , he gave a clear inclusive cost estimate of the three likely parts needing replacement. After dismantling the lock, he diagnosed and showed the internal breakage. Having confirmed that he had the required replacement part in his van, he quickly and efficiently inserted the new part and checked and adjusted the various door lock fittings. The cost, including callout charge and labour, plus the new parts seemed fair and payment by card was taken. I can certainly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: CO10
