Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Lock East Ltd, including the highlights above. The 60 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Luke was very helpful - Kept me up to date with progress and timescales and importantly, did a great job with the locks. Have used Lock East twice now, wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else
Superb, could not have been better or quicker, solving a challenging problem that made life difficult for us.
Luke was friendly, professional and really helpful. Our lock was narrow so he had to source an alternative replacement. The only increase in charge was to cover the more expensive lock even though he had to come out twice. If we have any future lock problems we’ll be giving him a call.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off. Emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association. The MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
