Would definitely use The Lock Monkey again, and highly recommend.

Lock Monkey Debbie called at our home at the agreed time today*26/ 01/ 26, to assess the non locking Bi Fold door we have and was quickly able to diagnose the problem and was able to replace the Door lock mechanism and lock barrel there and then.
Debbie was also able to replace a front door handle whose internal springs were failing as well.
Very happy to recommend as a very knowledgeable locksmith

10000% agree with all the other glowing reviews, absolutely faultless service! Debbie arrived within a couple of hours of my call, even though it wasn't an emergency and fixed the problem on the spot with a new lock for a broken one on a large DG window that I'd been told elsewhere would need the entire window replacing, so probably saved me about a grand....thanks Debbie! 🙂

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.

My call was answered promptly on a Sunday afternoon. On Monday Debbie turned up 5 mins earlier than promised, a good start she examined the lock and door, explained the problem?gave an itemised quote proceeded to fit new lock with new bits from her stocked van, worked efficiently and job completed in about half and hour. Excellent and very pleasant service. Very happy to recommend without reservation.

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

A poorly installed front door saw my wife and I locked out of our “quality” new build house. We called The Lock Monkey and Debbie, arriving in her fully equipped van, took over. Drilling out the old cylinder she installed a new one in the security door. Throughout she radiated the competence that as a top professional she new what she was doing. Before long we were standing in our hall holding the keys to our new lock! Very highly recommended. With heartfelt thanks.

I had a very stressful situation today and needed to gain access to my property pretty urgently.
