Halls Locksmiths Ltd is a Nottingham locksmith with a shop where staff are often described as friendly and helpful, and customers regularly report prompt call-outs and resolved lock problems. Reviewers mention work on doors, locks, safes, key cutting and smart locks, with several praising individual staff by name for their manner and for explaining things clearly. A few customers describe prices as fair, while others call them expensive or mention a £200 quote reduced to £90. One reviewer strongly disputed being told a large key could not be made; others describe rude or unprofessional service when they tried to cancel or chase a key order. A later reviewer reported a disappointing experience that was then resolved quickly by the customer service team.
THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO! I've used Halls for years but wanted to thank them for an incredible job yesterday where they completely saved my bacon: Big problem with the door gearbox on a rental flat where we have tenants in situ, so couldn't leave them without a lockable door! John really knew his stuff: He was fantastic and turned around what looked like a daunting job in minutes, on the spot. Amazing. Can't thank him enough.
Very freindly great prices and fast service
Great service in the shop today. As well as a spare key cutting, I needed some advice on replacement locks to buy and was talked through the options and advised how to size up what I'd need. The quality of service is over and above which is why I'd highly recommend this locksmith. Worth going out of your way to visit the shop.
Excellent service from Jamie (engineer) and the Halls team. Solved a problem with misaligned five point lock. Same day service at a reasonable price for the work and time. Would highly recommend.
Came perfectly on time Easy job done no mess made Thumbs up👍🏾
Good, fairly expensive but know their stuff, so you get what you pay for, knowledge.
Paul and Dean managed to get our new safe open and discovered the manufacturer fault in the mechanism. They also replaced the sticking cylinder lock in another door. Polite, informative, professional, helpfu. Paul spoke to the safe manufacturer to try and identify what the fault was and then used that knowledge to eventually solve the problem. An excellent service. Thank you
Good service from this old established locksmiths. Thanks to John in the shop a great guy ! also engineers Joe and Dean for a difficult job well done
Great local company!! Fantastic service from start to finish. Excellent staff, helpful efficient and locks were changed the next day. Would recommend 100% Great company
I collected 2 new keys that had been cut for my front door by Taxi. When I got home I couldn’t get them to work properly. These keys were for family and friend to get in if I was out as my husband is terminally ill. I phoned Halls Locksmiths and they sent someone out to sort it. I had key cut some years back that was ok It appears my door frame is now slightly out or the door has slightly warped and was causing the problem. The young man sorted it out so we can now use the keys. I was frightened of being locked out and my husband being unable to let me in. Thank you to all at Halls Locksmiths Nottingham. I will always recommend this company for their expertise and kindness. Mrs Ward Woodthorpe
Fantastic speedy service. Highly recommend them
Paul was so helpful speedily sourcing a replacement lock for our old conservatory door as was Seamus who skilfully adapted and fitted it. Brilliant service, thank you both.
An amazing team who always greet you with a smile amd nothing is ever too much trouble. All very knowledgeable and experts in their field. Highly recommend.
Finding ourselves unable to get out our Upvc front door on a Saturday afternoon I called another local emergency locksmith. Left a message and didn't get a response. I rang Halls Monday morning and they had someone attend in a couple of hours. It needed a part ordering but they fitted a temporary solution and expected to return end of week. I got a call later that day to say they had sourced the part and would come following day. Such an excellent service. Their operatives were friendly and respected my property. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Great service, very reasonably priced, and on the same day! Thanks again!
Very helpful over the phone, quick and fast service. Would highly reccomend
My house keys were stolen while out and I discovered this late at night. Having used Halls before a few years back, I called them at 10.45pm and Ben and Jake came straight out and met me at home. Both were reassuring and polite, and put me at ease straight away. Thankfully they were able to access my property for me really quickly and without having to change the locks, and with no damage to my door! A superb job all round, and it cost me considerably less than I initially thought it would, all of which I was so appreciative of!! So reassuring knowing that they really knew what they were doing. I can't recommend the firm enough, or Ben and Jake who were absolutely superb - I'm so glad I'd kept their number in my phone! 5* service! Thank you! 😊
What a brilliant experience my sister had despite the crisis created when she found herself and her husband were locked out of their home due to a faulty front door lock. Joe Hall treated them with decency and respect which gave my sister and her husband confidence that he would respond promptly to their phone call. With positive communication and a prompt response their problems were sorted with expertise. Two very happy customers. Thank you Joe.
Amazing service, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. John went above and beyond. You dont get service like that anymore, thank you so much!
Fantastic help, went above and beyond to help us out in a time of need with our lock issue! Big thanks to joe he’s a credit to the company.
Quick and knowledgeable. Went the extra mile to sort out the lock problem on our patio door. Fantastic service, would highly recommend.
Time and dedication devoted to getting the right key cut. Great service.
Joe was very helpful, and adjusted the door in no time Would def recommend
Excellent service and great product's
I have a disability from birth, that means I have weak muscles and over the last few months I have been struggling to get my key in my front door. I contacted Halls Locksmith and was blown away by there service, kindness and total understanding of my difficulties. Joe and Paul came to my house to discuss options and two weeks later my front door was fitted with an Ultion Nuki Smart Lock. A solution that has quite literally changed my life. I wanted my smart lock fitted by professionals and both Joe and Paul spent time with me setting up the app on my phone, my fob and key pad. I can even access using my thumb on the key pad. It is an amazing system, simple and smart using batteries or even rechargeable options. My system is bluetooth but you can have pro versions of the lock which uses the web and Alexa. I was so impressed that yesterday the guys fitted my back door with the smart lock and now I don't have to depend on others to go and sit in my garden. I can't recommend the smart lock highly enough and I would like to say a big thank you to Halls Locksmith. Natasha xx
I needed a last minute repair and was helped by John and Malcolm in store. Although the part I needed wasn’t available, John opened up boxes of delivered items, went through every lock in the showroom and even checked the stock on the vans. As he couldn’t find it, he kindly recommended another supplier, and we left feeling like we’d been given a great service. As we walked away John ran after us in the street, and shouted to say he thought he’d found a solution, which it turns out he did! He even fitted the part for us free of charge. People like this are so rare in this world. Can’t recommend Halls highly enough. Go and support them!
The staff were lovely and so helpful. They were very knowledgeable and managed to help straight away. I couldn't recommend them more.
Excellent prompt service to put a new cylinder and gearbox in the lock of the Dales United Reformed Church in Bakersfield. Thanks Seamus for a friendly and efficient service, got a lot of keys too all in a mornings work. Highly recommendable and a fair price.
Excellent first experience using Halls. Very friendly service from start to finish. The locksmith, Bob, got my front door unlocked quickly, clearly explained what the issue had been and replaced the handle mechanism, all for a fair and transparent price. Will definitely use Halls again if I'm in need of a locksmith.
Quick, friendly service both times I needed them. Today Joe came to look at a lock they had fitted a few months ago that was sticking, made some quick adjustments and didn't charge me. Great service, thoroughly recommend.
Excellent job. Friendly professional staff. No hesitation in recommendation
Had a problem with my garage door lock. Halls arrived right on time and fixed the issue so quickly that they didn't charge me the full call-out fee. Excellent service, very pleased.
Had a problem with church safe keys. The replacements initially supplied didn't all work. Joe came out with a colleague and later by himself and sorted everything out with exemplary speed and efficiency, also servicing the mechanisms within the safe for good measure. Thanks Halls!
Quick service friendly and reliable especially when your lock does not work!
They erroneously asserted that producing a large key is an impossibility, a task beyond the capabilities of any locksmith throughout the entire city. Such a statement not only reflects a lack of professional competence but also a disservice to the customer. As a paying client, my expectation is the fulfillment of the requested service. Furthermore, the absurd suggestion to consult my landlord was entirely misplaced. I am the owner of my property, a fact that bears no relevance nor necessity to disclose to a locksmith. This is a clear indication that if the skillset to fabricate a large key is absent, then it is prudent to consider an alternative vocation rather than participating in this industry.
Helpful and knowledgable
I was drunk and locked out, cold and absolutely steaming. The locksmith (Joe I think) arrived quicker than expected and was very sympathetic. Got me inside in record time and replaced the lock that had to be drilled. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill which was modest in my opinion. Enough spare keys that I didn't even have to tell the wife, I just swapped hers out. 10/10 definitely my go to locksmith.
Excellent service and wealth of knowledge and experience, best locksmith in Notts!
Very friendly and excellent work
Dylan did a great job on our door and lock. He was on time, and worked quickly and efficiently. He was polite and charming and we are very happy customers. I would definitely use the company again.
Professional and reasonable price!
Stuck lick after a really long day yesterday and Sean from Halls got us back in, thank you so much. Really efficient and resourceful and got us back in much quicker than I thought, and lots of advice about security and what to do do next. I couldn’t recommend him and Halls enough.
Very helpful staff - a pleasure to shop here!
If you're looking for a reliable and professional locksmith, look no further than Hall locksmith. I recently had the pleasure of working with Adam, and I must say he is the man to see. Adam is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in his field. From start to finish, he provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond to ensure that all of my needs were met. Adam was very polite and well-mannered throughout the entire process, which made the experience even more pleasant. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided practical solutions that were tailored to my specific needs. He was patient, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service that Adam and the team at Hall locksmith provided. If you're in need of a locksmith, I highly recommend giving them a call and asking for Adam. He is truly a gem and a great representation of the company's commitment to providing exceptional customer service.
It was a pleasure to go into Halls today and receive an excellent service from John. He took the time to re-conditioned my Chubb lock You don’t get that at B and Q
Quoted £200, but only charged £90.Excellent service.
Joe did a brilliant job of helping me get back into my apartment. He was super quick to get her and helpful and nice
Had to call out to help replace a lock that had broken. Arrived quickly. Joe was very good, it wasn’t a straight forward job due to some complications with the type lock, Joe was skilful, considerate of not causing damage and also very helpful advising on the best lock security solutions for me to consider in the future.
The staff are really helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
Called out this service late one evening when I lost my keys. Responded very quickly and had me back in my house within an hour, for a good price as well.
I help manage our church hall and, on Saturday morning, discovered that I could not unlock the external gate to gain entry. Panic ensued as it would be only a few hours to our hosting the Messy Church Christmas party! I contacted Paul at Halls and explained the situation who would arrange for the on-call locksmith to ring me once he had finished his current Job. Well, when Bob did call he was already on site and, when I joined him 15 minutes later the gate was open! Within minutes I had arranged for the lock to be taken away for repair or replacement, signed the documentation and was on my way home. The whole process having taken just over 90 minutes. Fantastic service from lovely people and well worth the £120 for the call out. Oh! and the party was a great success. Thanks guys!
Awesome service, Joe, who came was very friendly and polite, I would definitely used again. Richard
Great service, recommend!
arrived very quickly and offered a very good service
Quick honest business would highly recommend
Very good service and came out at night despite calling so many at night time but they were the only ones able to come out.
Fantastic service. Came out to fix a door that wouldn't lock - a simple fix but a huge security issue for me. Someone was at my house within an hour of my phone call and price was very reasonable for an emergency call outside of office hours.
Booked ahead for lock changes to a property purchase. Requested someone comes after a certain time, which they did and were quick in changing the locks. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend.
Great job quick service joe was absolutely brilliant especially at 4am
Extremely happy with the service, I was luck enough to have Jo undertake the work that was needed and she is simply brilliant at her job. Reliable, efficient and a pleasure to be around, what more could you want!
We have used Hall's Locksmiths Ltd on many occasions including high security locks and recently installing a Safe in our house. I highly recommend, great fast service with a smile.
quick and friendly service
Joe was a top man and sorted us right out after losing our key after a night out. Thank you for everything! Very much appreciated! Top man

Got locked out the other week. The lady on the phone was great and arranged for an engineer to come out straight away. Engineer was also friendly and really knowledgeable. He got us in and fixed the lock to prevent it happening again. Thank you so much, great service. Would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs a good locksmith :)
A very reliable,dependable and professional service with a smile.They are willing to go the extra yard to help.

Brilliant service - came out same day and fixed our lock instantly! Couldn’t recommend more!
Great service from Joe today at my home. Fixed our front door no problem. Give these guys a call!
Rude and unprofessional.. will never use this service again
The absolute worst customer service. Knock on your door at residuals times. Even though I cancelled they called to argue with me. Unprofessional I would use this service ever not unless you want to be met with arrogance and rudeness!
We had a speedy, efficient, and thorough service when we found an issue with the lock on the front door of our new property. Friendly and explained everything clearly. Would definitely recommend and would use them again in the future.
The engineer came out the day I phoned. It was a complicated lock but he had researched the problem and stayed until he'd solved the issue. Friendly chap, a tidy worker and very careful of the domestic surroundings. Money well spent.
Hello me out in the shop yery friendly very grateful
A marvellous family run business who go the extra mile . I can’t recommend them enough
Fantastic service! came out immediately as it was an emergency. Lovely staff, couldn't recommend enough.
I ordered a key here 10 days ago, everyday they say its gonna come soon, but ive been waiting too long, horrible service
Quick to respond at a weekend highly recommend
Contacted Halls after an internal door wouldn’t unlock. The guy who visited was Seamus - an absolute gentleman. He explained what the problem was likely to be & managed to resolve the issue without any damage to our antique door. Seamus also took the time to explain what had gone wrong with the lock & made recommendations to avoid a reoccurrence of a similar problem. Very pleasant & very professional. This guy is a credit to the company. The lady who answers the phone was really lovely & helpful too. Highly recommended
Very quick and professional service. Joe was clearly experienced in helping people with dementia and their families, to help keep them safe and secure in their own homes. Very understanding and offered alternative practical solutions re different locking mechanisms. For example locks than can be opened by a key from the outside regardless of the key or latch being left in on the inside. Thank you again. A very grateful daughter/carer x
Absolutely brill service after being ripped off by another locksmith posing as halls !!! Would highly recommend! Thanks joe hall xxx
Fast kind professional smiley staff.Highly recommended. ..
Everything about this company is spot on from the initial enquiry to getting the job done. Friendly professional staff who were clear about pricing with no hidden extras. I highly recommend this company.
Very impressed. Paul was very helpful via email, and Seamus who called out to fit new handle and lock was professional and helpful, letting me take my time to choose what I wanted and did a great job. Reasonably priced too. Definitely recommend.
Needed a part to repair an old gate. The gentlemen were very helpful at trying to find a way to fix it as simply and economically as possible.
Absolutely fantastic service. Was talked step by step through the process of an immediate quick fix for my door. This was greatly appreciated by myself and my 11 yr old son as we couldn't go to bed until the door could lock. Impeccable customer service provided by Locksmith Joe 😊
Great service from Joe at Halls. Very fast, efficient, friendly and safe. Highly recommended. *****
Excellent service and very knowledgeable staff
Very positive event. The gentlemen were very helpful with getting me the closest 5 lever sashlock to the one I needed to replace. Highly recommended.
After an initially disappointing experience with Halls, their customer service team contacted me and could not have done more. The situation was resolved incredibly quickly and satisfactorily, they went out of their way to make sure I was happy with the work they did. 10 out 10 and would definitely use again on the future.
Having sadly suddenly gone through a change in my circumstances, I wanted to review my Home security for peace of mind. The entire service I received - from Julie responding to my initial request, Paul doing the assessment and Joe doing the work required - was all carried out efficiently, professionally and pleasantly . I will definitely use Halls again and highly recommend. Many thanks to all concerned.
First Class service fitting CCtv very polite and respectful , explained how to operate the system , very patient. There was a slight mishap with a moveable plastic post outside and it was ordered and replaced next day they went above and beyond to be helpful. Would recommend this company to anyone.
Called halls at midnight amd the very friendly engineer arrived in 30 minutes and got me into my property very quickly after that. Would highly recommend to everybody
Very pleased with this company. The staff are very friendly and prices are competitive. A++++++++ service.

Great company. Have used them numerous times over the years. Brilliant service. Best locksmith in Nottingham.
I called the office and explained my issue. The option were clearly and honestly explained including possible costs. Locksmith attended as promised just a day later. He easily identified the issue and fixed it, all within an hour. The price was reasonable and all is now working perfectly so really pleased.
We called out halls locksmiths last night at 11pm when we couldn’t lock our front door. We were quoted £200 for a new gearbox. The engineer arrived within 30 minutes and upon inspection informed me that the gearbox was fine and the door just needed adjustment reducing the original quote to £90 when he could have just changed the lock charging me the original amount non the wiser! Extremely happy with their service, would recommend to anybody.
