What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Emergency openings when keys are lost and lock and barrel replacements form the backbone of the work described by customers, with external door lock upgrades also featuring regularly. Punctuality stands out strongly, as reviews time and again describe arriving home to find the locksmith already waiting or turning up far sooner than expected. A letting agency highlights quick diagnosis and prompt actioning of jobs, and a property manager recalls being kept fully updated alongside a tenant throughout an urgent callout.

Lee is named for a polite and well-informed manner during a middle-of-the-night opening, while Liz draws praise for efficient handling of ongoing work. Feedback frequently notes that problems are explained clearly before any work begins, that finished jobs are left tidy, and that charges feel reasonable for the effort involved.

One account mentions a faulty lock being replaced at no cost before two further locks were upgraded. The friendly and professional conduct of everyone involved, from first contact to the engineer on site, is a point that comes up often, as is the steady reassurance offered during stressful situations such as a jammed bedroom door or a family shut out with small children. Lock replacement and emergency access work remain the most commonly cited services.

I am leaving this review based on my experience with L&E Locksmith during my tenancy as the contractor instructed to complete repairs on my window. L&E Locksmith attended my apartment to carry out a repair to a window. The locksmith who attended was polite, professional, and courteous during the visit. However, following the work carried out, the window did not function correctly and remained defective. After this visit, I spent the entire winter with an unresolved window issue, which significantly affected my living conditions. During this period, the managing agent repeatedly referred to the ongoing problem as a β€œlocksmith issue”, including a property management team leader describing it in those terms. From my perspective as the tenant, this strongly suggested that the work carried out by the locksmith had caused or contributed to the fault that followed. Despite repeated reports and follow-up, the issue was never properly resolved while I remained in the property. I was later made aware that the window required a substantial repair, indicating that the original repair had not addressed the underlying problem. The local council did inspect my property and served a 'hazard awareness notice', which identified an issue with the window, to which my letting agency, landlord and L&E decided meant that no issue was reportedly found. This makes no sense since the council would not provide a hazard awareness notice if there was no issue. While the individual locksmith was professional in manner, the outcome of the work left me with a long-term issue that was never rectified. Based on my experience, I would be cautious about relying on this service for similar repairs.

Pleasure dealing with Liz. As a letting agency we need quick responses in diagnosing and actioning works all of which Locksmith L&E provide on a regular basis.

My experience with Locksmith L&E was A1 and a service I would highly recommend. Communication, arrival time and value for money all excellent. All of the staff involved from the initial call to the guy who attended me were friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Thank you!
