    Door realignment

    Posted 2 days ago

    Very reliable, professional and approachable. Replies very quick to text message and was prepared to fix our door on Christmas Eve (the same day) if urgent. Arrived on time and realigned door perfectly. Would definitely use him again! Thanks Chris!

    Friendly and professional

    Posted 07 December

    Chris was able to replace our faulting locks, and made light work of it too. Friendly and professional, he spoke through our options of locks (we used the opportunity to upgrade to a more secure system) and was super helpful with advice on maintenance too.

    Speedy and reliable !

    Posted 01 December

    I got locked out of my flat in the evening and was expecting to have to wait for hours to get help. Within 20 minutes I was called by Chris to say that he was here. Took about 5-10 minutes total to be back into my flat and took card payment which was super helpful. I hope I never get locked out again, but if I do I know who I’m calling!!

    Sunday Night Emergancy Call Out

    Posted 30 November

    We called out Chris from Lockforce Locksmith Chandlers Ford at 6:45 on a Sunday evening after finding ourselves locked out, with a tired 6-year-old who needed to get to bed. Chris arrived within 10 minutes and had our door open in less than 15. His speed, professionalism and calm manner were an absolute lifesaver. We couldn’t have asked for better service, especially at that time of the evening. Highly recommend Chris if you ever need a reliable, fast and friendly locksmith!
