10 Excellent service.
Posted 6 days ago
Excellent service, Owen came and sorted our jammed front door lock, and then realised one of the hinges was cracked. He ordered the new hinges, came and fitted within a few days, and took time to ensure the door opened and closed easily, rectifying a problem we had managed for a long time.Verified reviewerJob location: PO22Response from Owen the Locksmith

10 Door realignment and fix poor locking
Posted 24 November 2025
I had a uPVC door that was not locking securely, but after contacting Owen on late on a Friday evening around 9pm and i got a quick reply that evening , for a next day service. Owen was prompt and on time which in it self goes a long way, and diagnosed the issue with the door in a blink of an eye. The door needed realigning and the locking metal work on the door frame side moving and adjusting, as the door frame had moved due to the colder temperatures. All work was done very quickly and efficiently, and now I have a door that locks like butter.Verified reviewerJob location: BN17Response from Owen the Locksmith
