Who knew how hard it is to break into a 2004 VW Beetle? Josh succeeded where others failed. He was prompt, professional and resourceful. Would definitely recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: IP3210 Door Lock Repair

My garden door lock broke this morning, three hours later the repair was completed. I was given an evaluation of the problem and several possible cost scenarios before the work was undertaken. Very satisfied with the speed and quality of the service.Verified reviewerJob location: CB110 Door lock replacement

Josh contacted me really quickly after I posted the job on Checkatrade, arranged to come the next day. Confirmation of time of arrival on the day. The job was done quickly and efficiently. He also ensured the doorframe compensated for the door which had dropped. Talked me through everything, including other options for locks, handles and costs for new doors.Verified reviewerJob location: PE161 24 hour service? Definitely not!

On Monday evening (7 October 2024), my tenant had an emergency, i.e. he could not get into his flat anymore, so I called Homefront Locksmiths. After all, they are listed first (as one of two companies only) in the Checkatrade directory for Cambridge and Haverhill, Edition 14. I called repeatedly, only to hear repeatedly that nobody can pick up the phone. After a while, I tried the second Checkatrade locksmith (review to follow), who actually answered, accepted the job, made an appointment, only to 5 minutes later cancel that appointment. What kind of companies do you advertise in Checkatrade?Verified reviewerJob location: CB4
