    Emergency access to my property & lock change

    Posted 08 January

    I would highly recommend Ewan and his services. He was efficient and reliable. He accurately quoted me on the phone before arriving, without me having to ask. He turned up within 40 minutes of my call and managed to access my property within minutes and changed the entire lock within an hour. He was polite and professional & sent over aftercare advice & told me to call him if we needed any further help. Fantastic, high quality service delivered.

    Door locks

    Posted 14 November 2024

    He supposedly came to the property, couldn’t find parking and then sent a message ā€œcant find parking will come another timeā€ like you have just wasted someone’s time and day for a pathetic excuse. The road is busy and i appreciate its tight and if your not confident driving it can be difficult but if you call or wait someone could have assisted him. He just drove off and sent a message, no problem I can take my business elsewhere of course.

    Response from Craftlock Ltd

    The massive threat of van and tool theft means appropriate parking near the property is a very genuine concern of all tradespeople. I told you I was on my way and was intending to complete this free survey appointment as planned. When I found I couldn't park I pulled up on the main road and messaged you. My exact message to you was "Hi Sarah I'm sorry I can't find anywhere to park will have to come back another time" - it included an apology. I do not answer the phone or messages while driving so was unable to respond immediately when you were trying to get in touch after this. I told you that I planned to visit again and I was willing to make the extra effort to come back. I was in no way rejecting your business and could have returned later today.

    Locks changed

    Posted 17 August 2024

    I needed the lock changed and a new set of keys for my back door. Ewan came out on the same day I called and provided a full quotation before visiting too. Highly recommend and if I need a locksmith again will definitely use Craftlock again.

    Trustworthy, polite and excellent craftsmanship

    Posted 12 August 2024

    Ewan is excellent at his work and I can't fault his craftmanship at all. I got 3 quotes from different locksmiths and what made me choose Craftlock was they were the lowest quote (no vat so 20% cheaper for a start, and a small company so no large overheads like call centres etc.), but also because he was so polite and friendly. When he arrived to do the job, he was polite, clean in his work, and thorough! He not only fixed my lock but also repaired the door setting so it won't happen again. I can 100% recommend Ewan from Craftlock Ltd, trustworthy and excellent at his trade.
