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 .
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a fantastic review

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!

I can’t recommend this locksmith highly enough! She did an amazing job replacing the lock on my aunt’s garage door. What could have been a stressful situation was handled with total professionalism and care from start to finish.
She arrived right on time, immediately assessed the issue, and clearly explained what had happened with the old lock. I really appreciated how she kept us fully informed throughout the entire process, no confusion, no surprises, just honest and transparent service.
She removed the faulty lock efficiently and replaced it with a brand-new one, making sure everything worked perfectly before she left. You can tell she truly takes pride in her work. Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly reliable — excellent service all around.
