Lock Monkey Exmouth.

I managed to break my sliding patio door lock. I went to Exmouth indows expecting to pay a ton of money for a replacement and was referred to lock monkey of Exmouth.

Great result! Was provided with a fix within three days by Debbie who measured up, ordered parts and saved me a packet of money!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this fantastic review

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

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.
