    Sticking & "Clunky" Lock needed analysis & rectification.

    Posted 22 January

    Trader examined and analysed the problem, diagnosed the situation quickly and accurately. Rectified the problem and gave advice for future maintenance. Also had noticed a problem with another door whilst passing and rectified that at no extra cost.

    Replaced front door lock

    Posted 02 July 2024

    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.
