excellent service. Debbie came very quickly after my initial call about the front door not opening; she got it open, explained the problem & secured it again. Then came promptly the next day to replace the mechanism, with a year's guarantee included in the reasonable price. Would highly recommend

From my experience of the lock monkey, she’s good people. I called her out once and just her presence alone brought a non-invasive solution to the problem. On this occasion she made replacing a window lock an easy and efficient process. She ordered and replaced the lock within a few days with no input from me. Thank you Deb.

Called Debbie after losing key to side door of my garage. She came out same day, drilled out old lock and replaced with a new one so quickly. I would most definitely recommend her for the amazing service she provides.

Very experienced, prompt, lovely person.

I have nothing but admiration for the professionalism of Deb at The Lock Monkey. I live in London but have been dealing with an unoccupied property in Devon which is on the market. The selling agents were unable to get access to one of the rooms in the house. Deb took the initiative to collect the keys from the agents, attend the property and fix the lock to the room on the same day i called her. She also fixed the lock to one of the windows in the house. Buying new parts and attending the property twice to deal with the issue. First rate service. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Lock Monkey .

Amazing job Lock Monkey! Came the day I rang for help with a broken lock. So efficient and lovely to talk to too!

Absolutely excellent service . Trustworthy with a super sense of humour, knowledgeable, quick and reliable. Have used the Lock Monkey for a couple of jobs now and would not hesitate to recommend or use again. Thank you

Very efficient ,friendly service

Great service. Highly recommend

I can thoroughly recommend Debbie from Lock Monkey. We had a problem with the lock on our back door. She visited this afternoon. Assessed what needed to be done and proceeded to repair it promptly and efficiently. She was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable.

Excellent, efficient, service. Would highly recommend.

Deb was great, very knowledgeable and experienced. Gave good advice and talked us through the different options. All work was carried out efficiently with no mess. Will definitely use the Lock Monkey again

Debbie was going to be later than expected, but let me know. She did the job quickly and effectively. Now I can lock my door again.

I have stupid self locking doors and found myself locked outside, with all the keys inside, just in time for the school run! The fantastic lock monkey lady arrived in 10 mins (amazing for Woodbury), lovely lady & service. She even disabled the self locking feature to stop it happening again! Marvelous company, fast friendly, efficient & human! Thanks again!

My tenant rang to say the front door key was stuck in the lock. This was at around 6:30pm and they were not able to secure the house. I rang Debbie at The Lock Monkey and she said she could be there within 30 minutes. Sure enough she was there as promised, ascertained the lock was broken and not only repaired the lock and gave my tenants new keys but also posted me a key recorded delivery. My Tenants were delighted to have the problem resolved so promptly and I was relieved that thanks to Debbie it had been sorted quickly and easily and for a very reasonable price and all I'd had to do was make that one phone call. I highly recommend Debbie for all your locksmith needs, she offers an outstanding level of service!

Richard Davies

Very quick response on a Sunday evening when my elderly neighbour locked himself out of his property. Unlike many of the advertised services, The Lock Monkey is actually based in Exmouth so you get an actual local friendly service. Thanks again.

Paul Taylor

The service I received could not be better. Debbie took the details and was able to attend at the time chosen by me, and not only did a first class job, but did extra and gave me good advice, all within the agreed, very reasonable cost. I firmly recommend this company and will certainly be using these services again. Absolutely brilliant!

Cannot recommend the Lock Mnkey enough. We rang late afternoon and they saw us that same evening. Very quick, efficient and friendly service.

Andrew S

Great service for a partially sighted person. Debbie opened jammed lock and replaced it with better positioned one. She went well beyond the base level of service, ensuring keys were easily identifiable on keyrings and checking, oiling other locks etc on the property. Many thanks. We'll be recommending to friends by word of mouth too.

Christopher Sharp

The lock monkey was super helpful and came out really quickly to help us when we were locked out. They gave useful advice about the quality of our old door and changed the barrel for us. Great service. Thank you

Fantastic service. We phoned in a bit of a panic as we couldn't open our toilet door - and we only have the one.... Debbie said she would be with us within the hour, and she was, which given it was Sunday morning, was great going. She had it all fixed in next to no time, and even through in a new lock. Highly recommend!

Debbie responded very quickly, sorted out a bedroom door which was permanently locked shut and adjusted my front door as an extra The front door now shuts more smoothly than it ever has. She is very cheerful and approachable. Great service and I would thoroughly recommend The Lock Monkey.
