We had high-security locks installed after some burglaries nearby. The locks feel strong and reliable. We can finally sleep easier.
Another company said I needed a full replacement, but Lockfit repaired it in minutes. Works perfectly now. Honest people who know their craft.Another company said I needed a full replacement, but Lockfit repaired it in minutes. Works perfectly now. Honest people who know their craft.
Great job on our new front door lock
Needed a proper lock upgrade for security. The locksmith explained my options clearly and installed a solid new lock that looks great too. Excellent service.
Locked out with the kids after school — total chaos. The team was calm, quick, and professional. They got us back inside fast and were super polite.
Got home late from work and realized my keys were still inside. I called Lockfit and someone picked up right away. The locksmith arrived within 20 minutes, opened the door in minutes, and didn’t cause any damage. Absolute legend.
Locked out with the kids after school. Yeah, it was one of those days. I called these guys in a bit of a panic. They were super quick to arrive, really friendly, and the price was totally reasonable. Genuinely saved the day.
I had no idea what kind of security lock to get. The specialist who came over was great. He just explained the options clearly and let me decide. The lock he fitted is top-notch. Really professional service.
After a few break-ins nearby, we were getting pretty nervous. We had Lockfit install high-security locks on our doors, and the difference is amazing. They feel so much stronger. We can finally sleep a bit easier at night.
Heard about someone's lock being snapped down the street and didn't want to risk it. Called a locksmith and they came out the same afternoon to fit anti-snap locks. Fast service when it really mattered.
Great job on our new front door lock.
Needed a better lock for our old front door. The technician who came out didn't just slap a new one on; he actually explained what would work best and why. The new lock feels solid and the work was super neat. Really happy with it.
My front door lock was jamming, and another company told me I'd need a whole new unit. The guy they sent out took one look, fixed it in about 15 minutes, and it works perfectly now. Saved me a bunch of money. Really appreciate the honesty.
I locked myself out of my house and called Lockfit. They arrived fast and had the door open in minutes with no damage. Fantastic service.
Woke up Sunday and the main door lock was completely broken. I thought I was stuck for the day, but Lockfit actually answered! A technician came out and sorted it all out before noon. So grateful for their weekend service.

My lock needed replacing and the job was carried out promptly and efficiently. Happy with it!
Verified by CheckatradeThe previous broken front door lock was removed and replaced
Great work, good communication and very polite! I have had experiences with rude locksmiths that overcharge because I’m a young female, but the guys at Lock Fit were extremely professional and I will definitely use them again for any future required services!

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.
