Magic. Our front door lock suddenly stopped working and we were locked out. We somehow managed to get in but with no confidence of locking or unlocking the door ever again. We called the Lockmonkey who came as soon as free and identified the front door problem immediately. We then mentioned our double patio doors were getting tricky to open and close the second door so she looked at and fixed those. All 3 doors, front and two patio doors now open and close as smoothly as silk. Fantastic. Now sitting in the afternoon heat with ALL doors open ( knowing we can close them again). What a difference. Thank you so much Deb for the fast response and professional work. Highly recommended. Would use again without hesitation.

I was fortunate to find The Lock Monkey hanging about online with a truly helpful number of amazing Google reviews. Deb is based along the coastline from us in Exmouth; we’re in Sidmouth. The disadvantage of us living on the seafront meant that our old age pensioner Everest UPVC patio doors had their door lock playing up due to them drooping with age and salt on their hinges (I know the feeling). Deb is warm, friendly, reassuring and truly expert in her field. Thanks to her endeavours, when the next mini heatwave strikes we can safely open our double doors again to let in the sea-cooled air (the world’s cheapest and best air conditioner). So a very special thanks to Deb, especially for accommodating our special medical needs. Deb was more than happy to wear a face mask and shoe covers and is one of those magical people that help make Devon a wonderful mini Country to live in... all on its own in today's sadly troubled world. Highly recommended and will be asked for help again when needed.
Lock problems? My advice? Just give Deb the Lock Monkey a call.

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 .

After a series of negative experiences with so called ""tradespeople" proffering a variety of costly solutions to a locked shut UPVC door including total replacement of entire door we eventually found the wonderful Deb of The Lock Monkey. Having contacted her on the Sunday she booked us in for the following Tuesday when she promptly appeared. We were fully expecting the usual run around of another appointment having to be booked to order spare parts etc but to our surprise she set to work, diagnosed the problem, unlocked the door and fixed the mechanism within an hour. No the usual disappearing to source a spare part. She even had one for a 36 year old door in her van!
So if you have a problem with a door contact Deb. Apart from being really good at her job she's a delight to have around. You can't beat an experienced professional from a longstanding family business!

Quick job, excellent response time. 🙂
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.
Excellent service. Although not urgent, was at my door within two hours of phone call. Polite and couteous, lock changed out for new, am very satisfied

Great service, called me straight back, arranged a date there and then. Attended as agreed and did exactly as discussed. Was supportive and kind when attending an elderly person with health issues. Definitely will use this company again. Thank you.
After being locked out of my flat due to a faulty latch the wonderful locksmith attended quickly and gained entry saving me the embarrassment of being outside in my nightclothes on a cold night. A big thank you.
Excellent experience, great communication and did a quick and efficient job, thanks Debbie
