10 Great Company, Amazing Service
Posted 11 October
After a very bad repair by another company that left our house unsecure on a Friday night, The Lock Father came to complete the repair at very short notice. Sonny was fantastic and was able to point out the issue that caused our lock to break, rather than just fix the lock itself and head home. They took the time to fix the underlying cause and talked us through the issue that we could then send to our landlord who was trying to blame us for the damage even though it was caused by very poor installation. I would highly recommend The Lock Father, and will use them for any future repairs.Verified reviewerJob location: CO410 Change cylinder in front door Yale

Punctual and informative. Basic call out includes 1 hour labour, and it was suggested that some additional work could be done within this time to make the door close slightly better by relocating the existing latch (?) by a few millimetres - see pic below. I'm very pleased with the quality of the lock and the work.Verified reviewerJob location: SS910 To repair the rubbish job the other scamming locksmith did!

The Lock Father helped us out massively. We hired a scamming rogue locksmith and Carl from the Lock father fixed everything working to perfection until the job was completed offering us so much help and advice. We couldn’t fault him and can’t thank him enough we would highly recommend this company and are still astonished at the sheer difference in quality of work and professionalism from the rogue locksmith to Carl. Go with your gut if something isn’t right I just wish we had called this company first. Thank you again for your help.Verified reviewerJob location: RM310 Sticking & "Clunky" Lock needed analysis & rectification.
