Deb came out swiftly at a convenient time, diagnosed the problem immediately- and fixed it there and then. One of a pair of double doors had become hard to use, leaving me worried I would be locked in or out….problem sorted quickly with friendly, efficient service. Would definitely use The Lock Monkey again, and highly recommend.

Can’t rate Lock Monkey highly enough. As a lone female with two young children at home on a dark winters evening, being able to find a female locksmith was incredible.
Same day call out, the lock was assessed, diagnosed and fixed within an hour.
Even from my lack of knowledge on how old the door or lock was. The door itself was also lifted making our home warmer and quieter instantly.

Outstanding service. Complex lock jammed shut in aluminium door. Debbie turned up as planned. Hugely knowledgeable and efficient, it was impressive to see how she solved the problem. Instead of having to wait for a replacement part she had already predicted what would be needed and brought it with her. The whole process completed within the hour and incredibly reasonable bill for such a good service. Thank you
