9.33 NE30 - Front door that had become difficult to lock.
Posted 21 May
John was very friendly, and professional. He was quickly able to diagnose what the problem was with my lock and how much it would cost (£145) to fix it. He also, explained what exactly the problem was and how it had likely happened. After fixing the main problem he also explained that the kind of lock I had was not very secure and a thief with the right equipment could get around it pretty quickly. He said to upgrade the lock to a more secure one he could do that for an additional £45, which was cheaper than normal since he was already there. Very happy with his work and to recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: NE30 10 Outstanding service

Outstanding service. Communication with John was seamless, and he came within 30 minutes of agreeing to go ahead with the job. He was friendly and professional throughout. He did a great job and I couldn't be happier with it. I would 100% recommend his services.Verified reviewerJob location: NE710 Replacement multi-point lock fitted

John replied to my initial enquiry really quickly and arranged to come out the following day. He came exactly as arranged and diagnosed the fault straight away. He gave me a couple of options to fix the problem: a failed multi-point lock gearbox. John ordered a new lock and he came back and fitted it within a few days. He adjusted the keeps and latch plate to ensure the newly fitted lock works very nicely. John is a very friendly, reliable and genuine guy and I'd not hesitate to have him back for any other lock work I might need in future.Verified reviewerJob location: NE2610 Gearbox Replacement

I messaged lockforce at around 7pm on a Friday night after moving into a new property. John offered to attend at 10am the next morning to discuss my options. He arrived on time and due to his excellent stock on the van had resolved our problem promptly. Would absolutely recommend this company, and would definitely use them again in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: NE12 10 New back door lock

Job location: NE26Emailed John at lockforce yesterday afternoon regarding my (85 year old) mothers lock problems. John called me within an hour and was at the house carrying out the work within 30mins (corroded internals). New lock fitted quickly, no fuss and at a very reasonable price. Happy with the work and service and my Mother described John as a "very nice man"
