Highlights
“Joe managed to fix the issue within 10 min of arrival, and rather than leaving, he continued to spend the rest of the hour realigning the door preventing future issues. He went beyond what we asked without charging us extra.”
“Joe was quick to reply to my enquiry and came around that evening to see the door so that he knew what to bring. He installed the lock the very next day. It was an awkward door, being an extremely old house, but he did a superb job. Works perfectly and the lock is very sympathetic to the house. Joe is not only very personable, cheerful and easy to have in the house, but also extremely professional. Very impressed with how he kept in touch via WhatsApp so that when he was slightly delayed due to traffic I was kept aware. Would definitely ask him for any future work required.”
“I contacted Joe on the Wednesday morning (11th December), and he was able to book in a visit the day after (12th December). He kept us in constant contact throughout the day of the booking so we knew when to expect him, which was very useful when we have a young family trying to organise bath and bedtime. Our door lock had been poor for over 3 1/2 years, and the lock finally broke earlier in the month. When Joe came, he was done and dusted in just over an hour, and now we have a perfectly working lock and handle for the first time since living in the house. 100% would recommend, a great service all round!”
Detailed reviews
Joe was really helpful and professional after our front door lock failed. He came out quickly on a Saturday and made the door safe, ordered the required parts and kept us up to speed on the delivery of the parts at all times. As soon as the parts were delivered Joe came and fitted the parts, re-aligned the door quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Joes services. Will 100% use again if needed.
Reliable guy
Iron clad lock and key had just repaired some patio door locks to an excellent standard and then changed two locks on a light industrial warehouse with no fuss. Very happy with their work. Leigh
Call out for lock changes to my bed and breakfast accommodation. Joe was helpful and explained options before starting. He gave a date, time and estimate of cost. Work was done in good time.
Would definitely recommend

Very high quality of work and was very quick in responding to my call and was out within a few hours Left my property clean and tidy and the work was done to a very high standard
Excellent service! I recently had the pleasure of having Joe from Ironclad Lock and Key change a back door lock, and I couldn’t be happier with his service. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and friendly.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off. Emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association. The MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
