Ace locksmith and handyman

Alan arrived promptly. The locking system on the door needed completely changing. Alan did a very professional job. My only negative comment is the total price charged was higher than comparable prices quoted online.

Alan was absolutely brilliant. I had just collected the keys to my new home and decided to change the locks straight away just to feel safer. When Alan arrived, he quickly identified an issue with the front door and took the time to explain clearly, in simple terms, exactly what was wrong. He could also tell I was quite anxious, and he was incredibly reassuring throughout, keeping me informed at every step of what he was doing and why. He managed to sort out the front door the very same day and also changed all of the locks for me, which gave me real peace of mind. I honestly couldn’t recommend Alan highly enough. He was professional, efficient, and genuinely reassuring, and I will be recommending him to everyone I speak to. Thank you so much, Alan, for making me feel safe in my new home! :)

Alan was brilliant, a God-send! He arrived promptly. Changed 2 locks (one on the spot, which required him to find a part and he returned with it within minutes) explained the materials and the benefits for my purposes. Andy’s price was competitive. A similar price was charged to me by someone else who installed inferior locks! Very importantly Alan was polite, professional and personable throughout. Lockforce (Alan) will be my go-to and locksmith of choice going forward. Thanks again, Alan 🤗✨

Clive did a fantastic job fitting a garage defender for me. He has also repaired broken window lock in the past for me and was also excellent then. Very happy to highly recommend Clive to anyone needing an excellent locksmith.

Local locksmith. Prompt, very good and efficient. Would recommend.

Very pleased with level of service provided

Highly recommended! My front door lock failed out of nowhere on a Saturday night, leaving me trapped inside. Thankfully, Clive offers a 24/7 service. He arrived exactly on time and managed to replace the faulty lock in just half an hour. The pricing was very fair, especially for an emergency weekend call-out. Professional, efficient, and honest service. 5 stars!

From the first call I couldn't fault the service, the knowledge and experience was second to none and I felt assured and very pleased with the quality and speed of the work that was delivered to my business premises.

Polite, professional, and highly reliable

He was very friendly and helpful - he came out late evening, within the hour of us calling - was very efficient.

I had an issue with my door this morning, where it wouldn't close. Alan was quick to reply and got to mine within 20 mins. He was very kind and helpful, and I would recommend his services.

Alan was punctual and kind and very helpful - he was at my house helping within 25 mins of calling. Would definitely recommend and will be using him in the future

Alan came out to sort our back door lock which was very hard to lock. He took it all apart back to working condition but we needed a new mechanism. He came back installed lock re-aligned the door. All working perfectly. Would contact this Conpany again if necessary for other door locks. Very helpful, explained all work done. Thanks Alan

Alan went above and beyond and we are so grateful. He was here earlier than he said he would be and persevered until the difficult job was successfully completed. Thank you so much, Alan!

Fantastic service! Took the time to talk me through everything and showed me and explained what was what! Really friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you for coming to the rescue and sorting out the mess that a previous "locksmith" left!

Alan offered a prompt, professional service and we are extremely pleased with his work.

Second time we’ve called on Alan at Lockforce. Both times his been very knowledgeable, explained exactly what was wrong and what needed fixing. Great service, will definitely use again when needed.

Alan helped us out with a key that had snapped in the lock of our front door. He certainly knows his stuff, giving us some very good advice before fitting a new, and much better, lock for us. A thoroughly good chap and I’d highly recommend him. Thanks Alan!

Great service from this locksmith! He came out to change the lock on my mother’s front door which had become very stiff and difficult to use. He was a really nice chap, friendly and professional, and got the job done quickly. The new lock works perfectly now and gives us real peace of mind. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone needing a reliable locksmith. Thanks again!

Alan was the consummate professional. Reliable, very friendly and managed what was a tricky job very efficiently. Will definitely use his services again. Highly recommend!

Efficient installation of two new locks on our business premises. Thank you for squeezing us in so quickly.

Quick, clear and kind service. Sent videos. Had parts available so it was a swift fix. Will use again.

Quick to sort a issue with the locking of a solidor. Highly recommend, quick service, quickly fixed, good price. What more could you want 🙂

Superb service from Alan. I needed a replacement gearbox for an old uPVC door. Alan quoted me a very reasonable price and was able to get to work straight away, as he had the right part in stock. He also replaced two sets of locks and realigned both sets of doors, leaving them as good as new. He is clearly very knowledgeable, explaining everything he was doing, and gave me lots of tips for looking after my doors and locks. What more could you ask for?

Wow! What a fantastic service. Alan is a great guy and his work was fantastic. Thanks so much again! Great prices, fast and efficient would highly recommend

Alan replaced the lock mechanism on our door after it stopped working, he came round straight away in icy conditions to look at the problem which was much appreciated. We needed a new part which he ordered and replaced within 2 days. He also put our door back into alignment which had caused the lock to fail in the first place. He clearly knows his stuff and took the time to make sure it was done properly. He helped to sort out our back door which also had a problem and has given us some advice for a long term fix. I highly recommend him.

Alan came to the rescue when the handles on my tenant's patio doors disintegrated, leaving her unable to lock the property to keep it secure. He came promptly and carried out the work efficiently, not doing and charging for things which were unnecessary like changing the barrel. He also realigned the doors so they fitted and closed better. My tenant and I were very grateful for the service which was provided at a reasonable cost. We would both highly recommend Alan to anyone requiring a friendly and professional locksmith.

My patio door was jamming and we were worried that it would completely jam shut if we locked it again so we needed the issue resolved quickly. The bathroom door was also sticking so we could get shut in or out, not what you need. Alan arrived very quickly and diagnosed my problems. He replaced some significant parts in my old door that had failed and carried out some other adjustments so my doors now open and close better than ever before. They just smoothly and quietly click shut! I'm very pleased with the results and he was a really friendly man who explained what he was doing and what he was replacing and at the agreed price in a timely manner with no mess. Many thanks!

Alan was super knowledgeable and efficient with his work. He came round the same morning as I called. He had everything done 3 hours after my phone call!!

From start to finish, Alan was a consummate professional. When I called him he was able to book me in the next day, upon which he turned up on time (well, fifteen minutes early), and fixed four locks in around an hour. His demeanour was personable and straightforward, and from chatting with him it's clear he's an expert in his field. I will say the charge seemed a bit on the expensive side; however, you're paying for experience, convenience, expediency, and a thorough job being done, and I'd rather pay more knowing I'm in safe hands. Recommended!

Fast and effective service, highly recommended!

Good service, quick to respond and gave good advice on our doors in general not just the locks. Would recommend.

Great service, I called Alan got to me the next day sorted my lock out a really nice guy very professional Would highly recommend

Alan was great, sorted us out with a high quality lock and was really helpful. He got the locked installed really quickly, really great service.

He also left behind a better locking system than we had before and gave us great advice regarding aftercare. Fantastic service and I would recommend highly.

Alan is very helpful. We always call him when we need something. This morning I needed prompt help and he came round straight away! Thank you

Contacted Alan on a Sunday for replacement locks and he arrived (on time) the following day. He was very helpful, explained the various issues with the locks and the options to rectify them. Was able to complete the work there and then. Would highly recommend.

Alan was amazing from start to finish, came to my assistance in super quick time, but completed the job in the most professional manner showing his experience and knowledge to locks and keeping you safe. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you.

Very friendly and efficient changing of locks and everything explained in detail very clearly from Alan. I will definitely use Lockforce Colchester in the future for anything needed and wholly recommend to others looking for a reliable service.

Alan from Lockforce attended my job really quickly, (within 20-30mins). He had expert knowledge, was quick and did a great job. Was also willing to advise me on other things I asked.

Cannot fault Alan, super quick response, came to Harwich from Colchester. Our mechanism in our door was causing us considerable problems, it happened so quickly, so quick that when Alan arrived the door would not open. He knew straight away what the problem was and had a complete new system in his van. Within 30 minutes Alan had the door working again with a lovely new lock. 3 New keys provided too. If Alan had not responded so soon we could have been locked out of our property and with it being a fire door would not have been easy to gain access. Thank you Alan at Lockforce, 110%

Fantastic service, new lock installed within an hour of calling, thank you!

Excellent service ,very quick response time and high quality workmanship

A very fast, friendly and efficient service. Would definitely recommend Lockforce. Thank you Alan.

Alan came out to help with a broken kitchen door after my S.O.S (no access to tea! And the cat was stuck inside!) A quick fix, and he also couldn't help himself and felt professionally compelled to fix our front door which always got stuck in the frame while he was here. We'd put up with that quirk for 13 years and he fixed it in 3 minutes. Now the cat can get out of the kitchen and I can get out my front door. Alan, what a legend!

We had a great experience with Alan at Lockforce. He was friendly, professional, and arrived quickly. The job was done efficiently and with a smile. It’s always a relief to find someone who knows what they’re doing and makes the process stress-free. We will definitely refer & call them again if needed!

Did a really great job a couple of months back - came quickly, answered my questions, gave good advice. Apologies for the delay in writing a review. Would recommend!

Alan is extremely professional, efficient and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend his services.

Thank you to Alan. He attended an emergency call immediately and sorted our issue really quickly and at a very reasonable cost. We have used his services previously and he's always extremely helpful and friendly.

I massaged Alan to say I could not lock or unlock my front door. And I was really impressed the with service as he fixed it there and then so I knew I could go away knowing we could lock the front door and it works perfectly now. I thought Alan was very knowledgeable and he explained everything that he was doing. I would definitely use Alan again as he is reliable and quick to reply and sort problems out. Thank you.

Alan was excellent. Arrived within the hour and got me in my house fast. Very fair price and lots of good advice to avoid future emergencies. Thank you Alan

Responded very quickly. Alan is a perfectionist and exceptional at what he does. Would highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic service from alan - had an emergency situation where lock was broken and messaged him before 8am as was due to open a very busy clinic at 9am. He arrived 15 minutes later and sorted the issue that cowboys had bodged 6 months earlier. Would highly recommend and will be using in future .

If I could give Alan more stars, I would. This is the second time Alan has 'come to our rescue'. This time to resolve an urgent issue with our front door. He responded quickly to our late night text for help, and had fixed the problem by 7am the following morning. Amazing service. Would highly recommend.

Very helpful and reliable in all respects and happy to change whole lock not just to cut a few keys. Highly recommended,

Lockforce provided a fast and effective service. The lock was replaced quickly and Alan answered all my questions in detail.

Very convenient to arrange the appointment. I did it over WhatsApp message and Alan arrived on time as scheduled. he explained what went wrong with the lock and fixed it . Alan is a very kind person as well .

Alan Ayers of Lockforce visited today to attend to our patio door lock. He was very efficient and did a great job. Thank you Alan, on behalf of myself and my partner, Graham Barber.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Really clear on the issue and fix including cost, kept me up to date as things progressed. Not only fixed my issue but gave me some great advice and over and above service. If I ever need this type of service again I won't go anywhere else. Massive thank you

Alan was genuine, honest and fixed the issue to satisfaction despite some complications! I would very much recommend. Thank you

I had a top rate service from Alan at Lockforce Locksmiths. He fitted us in on the same day of calling and fixed a gearbox in the locking system that day - plus realigned the french doors so they now shut smoothly. When leaving, he noticed our front door wasn't closing smoothly so realigned that too. He explained everything and the work was completed efficiently and thoroughly. Would definitely recommend.

The cylinder on our front door lock needed replacement. Alan was here first thing the next morning and the work was completed speedily and expertly. Great service, would enthusiastically recommend.

Brilliant service, Alan is lovely and explained everything he did. Very pleased, would absolutely recommended and use again 😸

Alan had a tricky job trying to fix our front door lock but went above and beyond to make sure he got it fixed perfectly, even having to re-align the door. He is a perfectionist and won't give up until he has got the problem sorted! He also cleans up after himself! I would highly recommend Alan to anyone

From the beginning Alan was very attentive and quick to respond to help us with our locks. We enquired about our locks, and he came out 2 days later to look at the job and then came back the same day to complete the job. Alan was very kind, respectful and honest, we'd recommend him to everyone - thank you!

Great service! Quick job and friendly personnel. They were very honest with us about any queries regarding smart locks as well

Superb service. We needed a mortice lock replacing on our old front door and Alan came the very next day as promised. Did the work there and then. Clean, efficient and friendly. We will certainly be using them again if required and I'm more than happy to recommend them.

Absolutely exceptional service. Alan changed our locks on our new house and managed to get round the same day we moved in with super late notice. The locks in our house were obviously bodged in by the developer and Alan still managed to get them out and put in locks which made us feel a lot more safe and explained how the locks work in lots of detail. Would recommend to anyone. Honest ,reliable and a lovely man! Super greatful

Alan is such an amazing Locksmith. I’ve just moved house and needed someone to change the door locks with short notice. I dropped Alan a message for the date availability, he responded almost immediately saying he’s available. He was early than expected, didn’t try to sell any products and got right to the point. The work done was immaculate and efficient, a really friendly chap! I am already looking to change my other doors in the house and will be contacting him again soon! I will definitely recommend Alan for those looking for a locksmith in the Colchester area.

Alan was recommended by one of our landlords and we are glad he was. One of our tenants had an issue with their front door lock and Alan managed to get there very quickly and resolve the problem. Always nice to deal with proficient and helpful tradesmen. Thank you Alan, from McCartneys.

Changed my front door lock in less than 20 minutes. Also upgraded it despite just asking for locks to be changed which was a great bonus

Great service! Alan was polite and professional. Arrived on-time and carried out a change of locks quickly and efficiently. Would not hesitate to recommend his services. Thanks Alan really pleased with our new locks! :)

Lockforce representative Alan Ayers attended promptly to deal with our door lock failure. He identified the problem immediately on arrival and quickly had the lock working. He was clearly experienced, capable, efficient and knowledgeable. We were delighted with his visit and consider he was worth every penny. We will be booking him to return in the summer to adjust the front and back door.

Phoned this guy today after moving in to a new house and a door wasn’t locking, luckily he was in the area and by the time I’d phoned my wife to ask if she was home he was already outside before I put the phone down…. NOW THATS SERVICE !!! Latest security locks fitted for a very competitive price in less time than it takes for a pizza !!!!! Thank you LOCKFORCE you will definitely have all of our custom and recommendations.

Alan was a great find and someone we will definitely call again. The door was fixed quickly and the advice given was really useful. Great chap, happy to recommend.

I work for the RSPCA and, unfortunately, encountered an issue with our door lock this week. After receiving recommendations and considering previous work done at another one of our locations, I contacted Alan, who arrived on-site within 30 minutes, prepared to address the problem. He resolved the issue completely free of charge, as our charity is close to his heart. We are immensely grateful for the excellent service we received and for his dedication to our organisation. I would highly recommend his services without hesitation.

Couldn’t recommend Alan at Lockforce locksmiths enough. He was efficient, professional and just generally a decent person who made us feel safe again in our own home after being burgled. He was so friendly and talked us through all the different locks and options, highly recommended. Thank you again Alan!

We've used Alan twice, once for a planned lock change job, and once when our door mechanism failed. On both occasions, he's been prompt, courteous, transparent with pricing, and got the work needed done without any issues or problems at all. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Alan could not have been more helpful in sorting out an issue with a door, he was on site within 30 mins of calling, talked us through what needed doing, work all completed swiftly and to a high standard, would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to call Alan out again

Very pleased with the work carried out in such a quick timeframe too Very helpful and explained everything I d sent pics via WhatsApp and he came straightaway to fix the front door lock which was old and useless!! And my sons bedroom door which hard to open Very happy and will be recommending to neighbours and friends! Thank you

Peter was brilliant. He got back to my query straight away and was able to fix the lock the same day as he visited to quote. Very polite and professional. Great service, would highly recommend.

Alan was super nice and helpful! Fixed my jammed door lock in 10 minutes. He also gave me tips on how to look after the door. Highly recommended!

Alan from Lockforce has been my go to locksmith for over 5 years now. He is extremely reliable, professional, fast, reasonable and goes above and beyond, especially in an emergency - even at 9am on a freezing Sunday morning! I rate him 5 stars and highly recommend his services.

Alan was great! Problematic front door which he took time to sort and fix. Dropped him a message and he got us up and running on the same day. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you 🔐

Can’t recommend Alan enough! He was prompt to reply to my enquiry by text on New Year’s Day, came out the following morning (at the time he said he would!) to quote for fitting locks to our outbuilding and then carried out the job for me the morning after! I had also asked about some internal door handles that need changing and he was so helpful in advising me how easy they are to change myself, whereas I know from experience that many would take that opportunity to try and make a bit of extra money for themselves! A genuinely lovely guy who I would happily recommend to friends and family and won’t look anywhere else for a locksmith in the future. Thanks again Alan!

Exceptional Service. Alan came to view the problems I had been having with my front door on New Years Day. After inspecting the door locking system, Alan not only gave me a quote for the replacement & fitting but was able to carry out the replacement within 20 minutes. All British Standard Parts. Alan also showed me how to maintain & oil the parts of the door locking system. Thank you for your speedy response. No Call Out Charge & excellent service. I would not hesitate in recommending you to friends & family. Happy 2025

Alan was superb, super proffesional and knew what his stuff and completed the job for the same price he quoted over the phone. No nasty surpises. He comes highly recommended.

Alan was very helpful, making a point of not quoting until he completely understood my problem and ensuring I had all of the information required to make the decision for the work before he arrived. I will certainly use him again should I need similar services and will recommend the company to friends and family. Follow-up review: I’ve now been using Alan for every time I need locks changed or have any issues at all with my doors. He is meticulous and always make sure he takes his time to get the job done properly.

I called Alan as my back door handle had snapped off and I was unable to lock or close the door properly. Alan arrived promptly at the stated time, he was able to fit me in that day, within five hours of my call which was fantastic. Alan is efficient and knowledgeable and left my property secure by providing new handles and realining two doors. Peace of mind for me. Recommended, would definitely call Alan again.

Informative while providing sound advice and then got on with fixing our patio door which was out of alignment. Quick and easy and we would not hesitate to use again.

Massive - genuinely HUGE - thanks to Pete for a brilliant service in quite a complicated situation. I was not in town and desperately needed a lock change but, thanks to brilliant communication from Pete and a willingness to adapt to an unusual situation, we made it work. Fantastic new lock and Pete went above and beyond to make sure the a 'jarring' issue I'd had with the door was resolved too. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you.

We have used Alan a number of times over the years so I messaged Alan Thursday afternoon to have our door realigned as it kept sticking really badly.

I’ve used Alan a couple of times for fitting door locks and he’s always so reliable. I am about to get a new front door and will need my smart lock installing and I wouldn’t use anyone else. He gives good advice, will always help and goes the extra mile.

Great service for a broken back door lock. Alan also noticed the front door lock needed adjusting and did that for free. I would definitely use Lockforce again.

I had a problem with a window lock which would not unlock. I rang Alan, he said he would be with me in half an hour, he arrived sooner than that, Alan quickly had the window open & fitted a new handle. Alan delivers great service, from his prompt arrival, to explaining the problem & how it can be fixed, to carrying out the work. Alan is a very pleasant person to deal with & I definitely recommend him.

Fantastic service would really highly recommend quick efficient and a really lovely guy. Very helpful in every way made a stressful moment much easier.

Lockforce was brilliant. Alan’s work was fast, to a high standard and left the place tidy. In just the 10 minutes he was there he cleaned the door and locking system to make it operate better, changed our key cylinder and made a suggestion to install a thumblock on the inside to make it easier for us to lock and secure. Would suggest lockforce to anyone looking for needing locks changed!

We were locked out. Called Alan and he was there within an hour. Sorted, excellent locksmith. Thanks

Alan was great in knowing how to sort our lock that had broken on our PVC composite door. He knew what was needed as it was an old lock, and needed to be attentively looked at and sorted. Needless to say we have had it repaired there and then, and have a working lock, new keys and our door realigned. A very happy customer! Far more reasonable price, and competitive than other companies and quotes I found.

Alan was really helpful. He arrived on time, looked at my UPVC window lock and repaired it with no fuss. He even fixed my squeaky front door. Excellent service.

Alan is fantastic, we have used him twice now for urgent repairs caused by our eldest (Who has ADHD), work is superb on the first occasion he came out immediately to repair our broken front door lock which our eldest broke in a tantrum. Just today he came out after our eldest kept escaping and installed a locking mechanism at the top of the door, I messaged him on the Saturday and first thing this morning (Monday) he arrived and solved our issue, also was nice that everything installed matches the rest of the door. I would 100% recommend Alan, thank you.

Quick response and sorted my door handle which had seized in the locked position without any dramas. Sensibly priced too compared to other local companies!

What a great chap Alan is! He came to fix our office door but also got him to look at our front door that quite a few people have tried and failed to fix. He also couldn’t help himself adjusting our kitchen door to which he noticed wasn't quite right. Reliable and turns up as promised! I completely recommend him.

I called Andy and requested help as I had a bailiff appointment booked and needed the locks changed. Andy communicated very well with me, he arrived early. He patiently waited with me while the eviction took place. He then looked at the two locks, replaced one that was very straightforward, the second one had been poorly fitted by another contract and was an incorrect lock for a main front door. Andy fitted the correct lock to secure the property, all from his van stock on one visit. Took payment onsite, it was efficient and easy for me. I would use him again. Thanks Andy 👍

Alan was the very first locksmith I spoke too but sadly he couldn’t make it to me the same day but gave me some incredible advice to not get tricked by other locksmiths to be overpriced.

Alan managed to diagnose the problem with my patio door where the key was jammed solid. A new gear to the locking mechanism and cylinder needed to be replaced. The door had also been misaligned when being put in by a different company previously. Alan did his best to align the door. He said he would need to come back to realign it better as one of the screw was jammed solid in one of the door hinges. Overall, I'm pleased with job he's done.

Superb service from Lockforce Colchester. Alan advised the whole process from start to finish giving me a cheaper and more premium lock. Explained very clearly the pros and cons. Very happy with the service and the work provided by Alan. For a knowledgeable, friendly and highly experienced locksmith look no further than lock force Colchester. 5 star service.

Called Alan on Thursday and was with us within 30 minutes. Quoted for the job at a very reasonable rate and upon acceptance got stuck straight in. Within 5 minutes the door was open, and he was already replacing the lock. Offered two solutions for re-securing the door and before you know it, he got the new lock fitted for us. Knowledgeable, Friendly, Honest , hard traits to find nowadays. Highly recommended!

Alan went above and beyond to ensure my door was as safe as possible. He was initially booked to install one lock but upon assessing the door fit two locks for me and charged me an incredibly generous and reasonable rate. Alan is exceptionally knowledgable, skilled, honest and courteous. Was on time and communicated well. I wouldn’t go to any other locksmith! 5* service *****

Fabulous and prompt service changing a damaged cylinder. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful generally about how to improve door functionality. Highly recommend.

We had a particularly tricky door with multiple locking mechanisms and with the key stuck in the lock. With perseverance and all his tricks he managed to get the door open and fix the problem. Thank you Alan!

Alan was most helpful. More than happy to give a 5 star rating for his business.

Alan provided an excellent and thorough service replacing a faulty mechanism and lock cylinder which had seized completely so was unable to open the door. Would highly recommend Alan for his professional and polite manner.

Alan was extremely helpful with the lock and explaining what had happened, he fixed it worth no issues and is now working perfectly, he also took a look at my garden doors and got those sorted aswell, would definitely recommend!

Alan came in initially to donate some items at our Colchester RSPCA vet clinic, but whist he was there noticed our very old door locks. As soon as the next day he was back at our clinic with new locks installed on the doors and five spare keys, he even serviced all our other doors and took his time adjusting them making them now much easier to use! When it came to the payment, it came as a huge surprise that Alan wouldn’t accept any due to us being a charity! Highly recommended Alan if you are ever in need of a 5* locksmith!!!!

Alan is a true professional, friendly. helpful and very knowledgeable would not hesitate to use again and recommend to any one

Alan arrived super fast to take a look at my garage door lock for me, Had all the parts on hand and I had access again in no time at all, even though the problem was an unusual one. The price was very fair and I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call again if ever needed. Very friendly guy to chat to.

I can't find words to say how please I am for the services offered by Lockforce Locksmiths, prompt, professional and to a high standard. Alan inspired trust from the moment he stepped in, resolved the problem quickly and efficiently with outstanding results. I now have a working front door and don't have to always enter through the back. I would highly recommend Alan and would certainly use his services again. Thank you!

Came out quickly, changed lock and left me with plenty of keys. Feels a much better quality lock and key. Alan was friendly and very knowledgeable. Great service thank you.

Alan was incredible! Very knowledgeable, very honest and went over and above for us by adjusting the front door and guidance on our back doors. He came to change the locks on a property we just purchased. Couldn't recommend Alan's service anymore!

My elderly mum locked herself out with her two dogs inside. Alan came round within half an hour of a call, very courteous and helpful, got my mums door open within a couple of minutes, no damage to the door, no need for locks to be changed. The price charged was lower than quoted and very competitive, extremely happy with the job done and would definitely use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Lockforce

Alan’s service is simply impeccable. Phoned to make an appointment for a quote on a non-urgent repair/ opinion on the issue I was having with my door and locks, within fifteen minutes Alan was at my doorstep as he was “only having lunch between jobs”. After describing my issue Alan undertook a thorough examination of both door and locks identifying issues with each (some of which I was already aware). Painstakingly he rectified each issue as well as some cosmetic and functional problems we hadn’t even discussed, just because they were not to his standard. On completion of the work, he checked and re-checked the functionality of both door and locks, whilst constantly making little changes to ensure that their full operation was one hundred percent prior to declaring the job complete. Throughout the process Alan demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and perfectionism. The big question as always is the cost, which is always a concern. Not to kiss and tell on what I paid, however the invoice was exceptionally reasonable considering the extensive work undertaken and the length of time Alan spent at my property compared to information gleaned from the internet on standard charges for locksmiths. I cannot recommend Alan’s services highly enough.

I had a window that would not open even though the handle was working. I found Lockforce from a recommendation on our local community Nextdoor Neighbour site and booked an appointment for this morning. Alan came on time, he was very respectful and personable. He inspected the window and told me what the job entailed and fixed the problem in about 10 minutes. The price was extremely reasonable and he even oiled some of my other locks before he left. Highly recommended 5 star service.

Sent a message to Lockforce and Alan contacted me the following morning saying he could attend that day. As it was not urgent we agreed on a date and time. Alan attended on time and gave a very honest evaluation of my front door problem. He explained what was wrong and what he would be doing to correct the issues. He explained the options available and left it up to me to decide. Very friendly, profesional and was very meticulous in his work. If you have any issues that require a locksmith do not look any further, would recommend without hesitation..

Alan did a fabulous job fixing a problematic front door bolting issue. Whilst encountering a few issues, which took longer than he anticipated to fix, fixed it he certainly did. He honoured his very competitive price quote too. Arriving within 30 mins of my call, I was treated to a very polite & kind hearted tradesman. Alan is a real gem! Highly recommended.

I called Alan yesterday afternoon to request a front door lock change. He was round first thing this morning and done within half an hour. Very responsive and friendly guy, and explained everything he was doing. Would highly recommend.

Very happy and relieved customer. Alan fitted me in quickly after the back door lock went kaput. He knew exactly what the issue was and sorted it quickly with new parts and ensured it worked smoothly. Even vacuumed up after himself.

Excellent work from Alan to change an old lock for me where new keys cut by Timpson failed to work. Will definitely recommend him for any locksmith work.

Alan Ayers got in touch very quickly and was really helpful. Very genuine, friendly and made a great recommendation regarding a digital lock. Turned up on time, clean and tidy and very professional. Highly recommend his services. Thank you Alan!

Key got stuck in front door and could not get it out. The same fore the back door. Called Alan at 8.00am isa and he came straight away. Changed the locks and I was able to go off to work with everything fixed. Can't thank him enough and would definitely recommend.

Alan was excellent. Arrived super fast and finished the job in next to no time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a locksmith.

Fantastic service from Alan. Locked myself out he came within the hour and opened the door. He also serviced our door. Now I have his number I will be recommending him to people I know. Thanks again Alan

Excellent service. I have used Lockforce now for 2 different properties and both times the service was fantastic. Alan is a very knowledgable and friendly guy. Would not hesitate to use again!

Alan responded within minutes after I’d posted a message on CheckaTrade for an emergency call out and was professional and responsive throughout. Highly recommend.

Arrived promptly, conducted professionally. Locks more than meet our needs and if we were to have any problems I would feel 100% comfortable returning to them to fix any issues or install any future ones neeeded.

Alan changed the locks for our property and was effcient, freindly and gave advice and information on the locks that were best for my use case. Veyr happy with the service!

Wow what great service, called Alan out in an emergency, he turned up when he said he would and he looked after us so well, new lock fitted better than original and we learnt so much about improving the security of our home and all the options available, would highly recommend!

Excellent service: speedy, professional and friendly. Alan was helpful and knew what he was talking about i.

Alan came to change our locks after moving into a new property and we could not be happier with the service. He gave us the confidence in the security that the top-end locks he uses would provide and sound advice to help us choose which we wanted. He also went above and beyond - removing a cat-flap panel in our sliding doors to secure them properly, found us a key that unlocked the windows (not left behind by the previous owner) and advice on how to secure the gates. Gold star service, look no further.

Cannot recommend highly enough! Such a friendly, professional and interesting service - Alan thoroughly enjoys his work and is so knowledgeable. Excellent value for money, fast service and flexible appointments.

100& Customer Service. I needed a lock changed after moving into a new property & felt unsafe as it was not known if the previous occupants still had keys to the property. Alan was the with me within an hour having just finished a job near mine. Alan was friendly, efficient, professional, very high quality of the product & work. Will definitely be recommending Alan to anyone needing a locksmith ! Thank you Alan !!!

Aside from the fact he did everything I needed (and more!) Alan was also punctual, professional, friendly and kept me informed every step of the way. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

I had a double glazed door that decided to fail in the closed position. Not an emergency but needed fixing. Phoned Alan after a friend recommended his services on Thursday afternoon and told him I was in no rush to get it fixed, he said he could make tomorrow at 10.30 and he arrived exactly on time. He managed to open the door and I identified the broken parts, He had what was required on the van and all was fixed within the hour. Great Service thanks Alan. I'd highly recommend and use in the future.

Alan did 2 works for me, cylinder replacement and night latch replacement. Both done quickly, well, and with quality materials.

Alan arrived within 1/2hr. Replaced the front door lock quickly, efficiently and was totally professional. Great service very happy with every aspect.

We called out Lockforce due to a broken handle and bent hinges on our upvc front door .We was told by another company that it needed a new door at a cost of around £800 and we would have to wait 8 weeks but Lockforce come out on a bank holiday and fitted a new handle and lock and new hinges they re aligned the door and left the door working. I can’t recommend this company enough they are truly one of those companies that gives you faith in tradesmen where so many fail. they were quick to respond and it was a challenging repair but they repaired it to a very high standard . I will definitely keep their number for any future work . Thank you

Would highly recomnend. Alan came out at short notice to replace a front door lock. Good quality job. Thank you!

Very happy with Alan’s work. Friendly, punctual and had fast and efficient communication with him. Alan also gave us a really good deal replacing locks around the house. Totally recommend

Alan was very professional and courteous. He explained everything he was going to do in detail and answered all our questions fully. His work was neat and precise and afterwards we felt he fully delivered on his promises and his work exceeded our expectations. A thoroughly pleasant man who’s work we would highly recommend. Thank you very much.

Very quick and friendly service! Alan did a superb job of replacing my lock. Would definitely recommend his services!

Very very impressed. I thought I would need a Yale lock replaced, but when Alan checked it out, he was able to repair it, and it works like new. Very very impressed and I also got some free crime prevention advice that I will be taking up, many thanks. I will recommend you to anyone who needs a fast reliable locksmith.

Alan is fantastic. Used him a couple of times now. Very knowledgeable, extremely professional and you get the best service. No charge out fee so you really get value for money. I would highly recommend and the quality of his work is excellent.

We emailed Alan late one night asking for help with changing a lock. First thing the next morning, he’d replied and kept us updated until he came round at the soonest time that fitted in with us. Alan gave us clear, helpful and invaluable advice and fitted a new lock there and then that we know we can trust. On top of that, he gave us some invaluable advice about our door and frame that was unexpected good news. If, like we were, you’re trawling through reviews trying to find someone you can trust with the security of your home whilst providing a top notch service in every way, without costing you an arm and a leg, Alan is The Man!

Cannot recommend Alan’s service highly enough. Very prompt service, quality advice and work completed to an excellent standard.

After an unpleasant experience with another company, Alan has very much restored my faith. Quick to respond, honest and got the job done. Would recommend to friends, family and anyone else in need of a locksmith. Thanks again.

Came and fixed an issue with our front door lock within hours of us getting in contact. Very friendly, professional and great value. Fantastic service! Would highly recommend.

Alan is very professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain which locks are best and why, and we are really happy with the service provided. He was quick and efficient and we would not hesitate to use him again.

Alan was brilliant, I would definitely recommend his service. We have not been able to lock our french doors for 6 months, whilst we have had a couple of people out to look at it over this time, they have not been able to offer a permanent fix and one said they would order parts and did not return! Alan arrived on time, he quickly assessed the issue and explained in simple terms what was wrong, what he would need to do to correct and fix the problem and how much it would cost. From initial assessment to the door and lock being fixed was under two hours! Great work!

Alan was here within an hour to put right ‘dropped’ door, lost keys and seized door locks. Such a relief to have all doors and windows working! Thank you Alan, and will call LOCKFORCE LOCKSMITHS COLCHESTER when we need help again.

Excellent and quick service. Very friendly and professional. Great advice given and very happy with the quality of work. Alan is a great guy with excellent knowledge and experience. I would confidently and happily recommend him.

Sorted a major door issue, arrived promptly. detailed quality workman ship and realigned the back door also. Business card now secured in fridge in the event of another time

Prompt and friendly services at a reasonable cost. This is the first time we have used Alan but would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly reuse in the future.

Top quality service. Professional, nice and friendly. Attended to job very promptly. Would recommend Alan and his services.

Alan came out to us right after we called, provided great service at a fair price and promptly repaired what needed to be fixed (plus all COVID-safe). What more can you ask for? Would definitely recommend.

Attended our new house in time, only minutes after we took possession and the new locks on all external doors were installed with 30 minutes. Professional, courteous and provided extremely helpful advice on security and the local community. A first class service at a reasonable price. Highly recommended

Fantastic business......we used Alan at Lockforce as our front door wasn’t locking properly. Alan realigned the door & gave the front door a service. Works a treat now. Very professional & knowledgeable tradesman who I would highly recommend & will be using again. Cheers Alan!

What a great and professional service! From our consultation to fitting the locks, the whole process was nice and easy. Gave great advice for future doors/locks too. Would 100% recommend.

Great service. Very polite. The lock to our front door broke. Called Alan at Lockforce and he came out promptly and did not charge a call out fee. Priced the job fairly and explained what he would be doing for the price. And, most importantly for me, he was not pushy. He did a great job. Fitted new security locks, adjusted the door and gave plenty of spare keys. Door works better than before and locks beautifully. I would highly recommend Alan.

I rang Lockforce for advice on security for my patio doors, Alan called me back the next day, to arrange an appointment, he turned up on time, was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly , he explained how burglars get into locks, he also showed me how easy some locks snap, Alan fitted a Ultion lock and I would definitely use him again and will recommend him to my family and friends.

Excellent, friendly service. Above and beyond advice and tips on improving home security measures. Excellent value for money, very highly recommend, would definitely use again.

Alan was incredibly friendly and professional. Within an hour of calling him he was able to come out and completely take care of new locks. Very highly recommended! Thanks, Alan

Our front door wasn’t locking properly so called Alan@Lockforce who was there within 20 minutes for him to see what the problem was, he had trouble with a broken screw in the side of the door so he had to affectively ‘break-in’ (that was an eye opener at how easy it was!) Thankfully the lock has all been sorted & changed for a much safer lock & plenty of spare keys! Excellent service thank you again, we can sleep soundly tonight. Alan was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended *****

Lockforce got back to me within about 5 minutes of me posting a query about getting my locks changed to their website and came out the next day, fitting new front and back door locks and giving the existing mechanism a once over an an oiling, all within less than 20 minutes. Excellent and speedy service.

Alan responded very quickly to my request and was at our door in colchester within 20 minutes. Extremely friendly and great sense of humour, we felt we were in great hands. He managed to fix our lock and make our home safe again within another 20 minutes despite having to completely change the gearbox of our lock. HIGHLY recommend and should we need a locksmith again-Alan would be our go to. Also has card reader so can pay by card which was super helpful and produces a receipt.

We called last minute appointment and said we were in no rush. He turned up in less than 2 hours and was done changing two locks and breaking a padlock in about 15 minutes. Very informative about the different locks and gave me confidence the locks are safe. I was only charged for the replacement mechanisms no labour. Very happy, he will definitely be first on the list if I ever need him again!

Excellent Service from Alan. Really helpful, knowledgable and informative. Fitted new door lock/gearbox/handles and helped adjust door for a better fit. Came quickly and very efficient. Thanks Alan for your help.

Alan responded to our call extremely quickly. Due to the nature of our door he was able to provide a temporary fix and secure our property. Once the replacement parts were sourced a suitable time was arranged the works were completed. Overall the service provided by Alan was superb and I would not hesitate to recommend his services. Great Service, Great Value, Great Guy

I had lost my keys last night so had to climb through my window. Alan came out first thing & got the job done. He was a lovely gentlemen, I would 100% recommend!

Alan got out to us very quickly to deal with a front door locking issue. He was extremely thorough and completed the work tidily, efficiently and quickly. A genuinely top guy, and a superb job. Highly recommended.

Great service from Alan today, came out within an hour of being called. Gave great advice and was able to install a new lock on the same day.

Alan provided an excellent service and managed to repair my front door and lock quickly at a reasonable price. Also very informative. I would highly recommend his services to anyone

I phoned Lockforce when I got locked out of my house. Alan arrived within 20 minutes and I was in doors 10 minutes after that. Good service, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Arrived on time as stated and fitted replacement locks to our new house. Good service - Alan was really easy to deal with. Recommended!

Highly recommended. I locked myself out of the house. I called Lockforce following a quick Google search. I spoke to Alan who came straight round. He managed to open the door (much to my relief). Quick, efficient and very professional. Would definitely use again. Thanks Alan 👍

I cannot recommend Alan from Lockforce Locksmiths highly enough. I had the very unfortunate experience of shearing off the handle of my front door on a Friday evening. By Saturday lunchtime Alan had repaired the handle and more importantly found the root cause of the breakage and repaired the alignment of the door itself. He also took the time to re-adjust the locking of my back door which I had thought was beyond repair! All this for a very reasonable price. Not surprisingly I will have Alan service the doors and windows annually from now on. I only wish my front door handle had fallen off just after I had moved in last year! Oh how I've struggled with these doors!

Thank you Alan for sorting our locked conservatory door this morning. Very impressed with service and charges and your phone number now on our phones should we have any other problems going forward! You made our Sunday and the cat who can now go out through a door not a window!!

Alan helped us this morning when we locked ourselves out with the key in the back of the door! He was here within 10 minutes and we were inside 10 seconds later! Great guy, would highly recommend. Thanks Alan for getting us sorted, Chris

Very friendly and quick response. Alan made sure I understood what he was doing as he worked and he made me feel at ease, having just locked myself out of the house! Problem solved fast! Very impressed. Will definitely call again should I have any further problems. Thank you Alan!

Couldn't fault Alan in any way. Lovely guy, and really knows his stuff. Came recommended to me by a work colleague. Have since given his contact details to various other family members and friends, as I know they'll be looked after. 5 star rating.

Locked myself out with keys in the doors inside - Alan came to my rescue very promptly ! Reassuring, trustworthy and professional - helped me gain entry quickly and efficiently - all at a very reasonable cost. Thoroughly recommend Lockforce for any such issues.

I called Alan at 9:30am and he said he came over that morning and fixed my door lock. Fortunately i didn't have to replace it he was able to fix it. I would definitely use again. Thank you Alan.

Alan turned up ahead of time and did a great job for a very reasonable price. Lovely chap. Would definitely use again. Neil

Thank you Alan for a very swift professional service. I will most certainly use you again when needed. Great to meet someone who takes pride in his work and easy to chat to. Thanks again

Emergency call out to fix our back door. Alan was great from the start, informed us roughly how long he would be and arrived within that timeframe. Got straight to work finding out what the problem was and fixed it really quickly. Also gave our front door a quick once over too! Very reasonably priced and really personable too. Would highly recommend Alan to friends and family.

Alan showed up early, was friendly and professional, and had the broken heavy padlock I'd called about cut off within minutes. Highly recommend.

I emailed at 7.30am to enquire about replacing locks to our business premises thinking it would be too early to phone, within 10 minutes Alan was here and changed all locks required, he even oiled the locking mechanism and cleaned the doors! Excellent service and highly recommend. Thank you.

I highly recommend Alan at Lockforce, he came the sameday I called. Alan is professional, helpful and kind. I have a new lock now, this gives me peace of mind and I feel safe. Thank you very much.

Had Alan come to fix my front door lock, he was very punctual and very professional. I've dealt with other locksmith's before and I can definitely say Alan is by far the BEST I've used and very reasonably priced.

I was very impressed with the quality of work and Alan was extremely helpful to find the best solution at the best price to sort out the sliding door lock and mechanism. i would have paid a lot more ifnit was not for Alan providing honest good advice. recommend Lockforce for all your security needs. Clive Pearson

Great experience with Alan, he came out to us quickly was incredibly friendly. He fixed our issue really quickly, and the price was incredibly reasonable. Would defo recommend!

Alan sorted our problems with no fuss. Very professional, very knowledgeable. Serviced every lock in the house and replaced any that were broken. Very Reasonably priced good clean worker. Friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

This morning my the lock to my flat broke. I was on my way out to work & was in a bit of a panic. I called Alan at Lockforce - he picked up the phone after 2 rings and was at my flat in 20 mins. It turned out my whole lock system for my door had broken. He talked through the different locks, and went through in why my last lock system had broken. Alan replaced quickly with a new locking system - which is way more secure than the last lock I had. Alan also provided 3 keys - all provided in the cost (which was very reasonable price) This was all done very quickly and at a very good price. Alan was very friendly and professional. I cannot recommend enough. He really saved the day!

Was so impressed with Alan and his adaptability with regards to installation of locks within my gym facility, workmanship was second to none, the areas were left spotless this is definitely a company that we will use in future within the business and personal.

I cannot thank this company enough , within 15 minutes of being called he was at our business and secured the property Thank you Alan we will certainly be recommending your services

Bill changed the locks on my doors when I moved house - he was great & I would highly recommend. He was very knowledgeable on the different locks / door types and explained everything to me. He also cleaned up after himself which was a bonus. I feel much more secure now - excellent job, fair price and pleasant person.

Cannot fault Alan’s punctually. Within minutes he got out our old lock and replaced it with a new one, top notch new barrel. Superb value for money for what we got. Thank you

I contacted Alan as I couldn’t open my front door. From the moment we spoke he was friendly, very helpful and was with me within 45 minutes. He fixed the door, and even cleaned it all down. You don’t find many tradespeople as reliable and honest. Thank you, we will definitely call if we have any further problems. And of course, it goes without saying we would highly recommend you.

What a relief! Solved my lock problem, presto! Friendly, experienced, reasonable, arrived when he said. If only all other tradesmen were like Alan. Arrived as a stranger on call out, parted as friends. I will have more work for him, and no one else. Highly recommended, he is local (Hythe) for me, and a human being too. What more do you want? Thank you Alan.

Absolutely amazing service. Alan was on time very friendly and explained everything throughly and put my mind at rest, so I knew exactly what was happening throughout! Highly reccommend his service and would use again most definately!

Alan was really quick at getting back to my enquiry from his website. An appointment was booked in very quickly to fix the lock on my front door. Alan was really helpful and friendly and resolved my problem very efficiently. I would highly recommend Alan from Lockforce.

Alan was able to open my patio doors which had jammed shut. He was very friendly and took his time to explain what he was doing and what was wrong with the lock, very reasonable price. Highly recommended

I asked for a quote online for new a new door lock yesterday (Sunday) and within hours had a call from Alan who was able to tell me it was infact new handles that I needed. He arranged to visit this morning to have a look and was able to replace them straight away with tempory ones while we wait for the new handles to arrive. Excellent service, thank you Alan!

Really helpful, I was locked out with my two small children. Alan prioritised my call and quickly got us back in with minimal fuss. Great service and friendly man. Would recommend to anyone

I lost my keys and gave Alan from Lockforce a call. He got to me within 20 minutes to cut me 2 news keys. Very fast and friendly service, would definitely recommend Lockforce to anyone with any similar issues.

On Sunday morning, I called Alan and asked him for a quote and I was surprised at how much cheaper he was to all the other numbers I had called around Colchester. I asked him how quickly he could get round as my dogs were trapped inside (I had left the keys on the inside of both the front and back door) and he was round within 10 minutes! He was very friendly and honest about everything and tried his best to ensure he didn’t have to drill through the lock (and save me another £60). His persistent paid off and he eventually got us in without drilling! I would highly recommend this locksmith to anyone around Colchester or Ipswich!

Really thankful to alan from lockforce today. Brilliant service quick and efficient and decent price. Nothing was a problem for him and even helped with my window locks top bloke would recommend to everyone.

Alan arrived really quickly, identified the problem and replaced the parts quickly and professionally explaining the problem as he went - fast and friendly service. I would definitely recommend him.
