What a lovely guy. John Blair responded almost immediately to my request for a quoted. He gave me his thoughts on what needed to be done with precise prices. He kept in touch on appointment day, quickly assessed the problem and sorted it. If you’re looking for a locksmith (he’s located in Matfield) then John Blair, Lockforce, is your man. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: TN1210 Helped with a lock issue on a communal building

Job location: TN17Thank you so much, John, for saving us last night! My three kids and I were locked out of our house, and John arrived in no time. He tried several methods to get us back in before resorting to drilling, doing everything he could to keep the cost down. He even fixed our back door lock. We would highly recommend John — excellent service and genuinely caring.Response from Lockforce Locksmiths
Hi Kathryn. It was a pleasure to be of service and to get you out of a tight spot & back into your house, especially on a chilly evening. My business thrives on customer reviews and this feedback, which is well appreciated - Thank you. Regards, John

Welcome to Lockforce Locksmiths.
My name is John Blair and I'm a local fully trained locksmith serving all TN postcodes.
If you have a lock emergency - locked in or out - or need a locksmith to do some repairs, upgrade your locks, or install CCTV or Alarms, I can help.
My main aim - To make my local community feel safe in their properties.
Please call me if you have any problems with door & window locks, handles, hinges, alignment issues.
These sort of things that are 'just not working right'.
When locks and handles start sticking or handles start 'flopping', doors start dragging on the cill, or you must use force to shut or open your doors.... Take action BEFORE they jam or break on you, or you get locked out!
Worth Noting:
- You will get a 12-month warranty on any lock that I supply and fit.
- I do not charge VAT which helps to keep our prices competitive.
- I am fully insured.
- I am committed to offering a competitively priced, high-quality locksmith service with excellent aftercare.
Your recommendations and testimonials mean everything to me and my business.
You choose the service you need:
- Gain Entry/access - To get YOU back in (or out), you can choose our "Gain entry" service

- Window Locks - to get your windows safe and secure, you can choose our "window checking" service
- Digital Door Locks - to upgrade to new digital / SMART locks, then choose our "smart lock technology" service
