I had no hesitation in giving a 5 star…

I had no hesitation in giving a 5 star review. Nick responded very quickly to my enquiry and attended to the lock on our back door promptly and efficiently. He arrived at the agreed time and was respectful of our property. I opted for the more expensive lock but Nick didn’t pressurise me to do so. He was upfront regarding his costs which were most reasonable. I will definitely call Nick again should I have the need to do so.

NICK came out to us within five minutes. My dad had collapsed and he couldn’t do enough to help us. He was amazing. We are so grateful for NICK we don’t know what would’ve happened to Dad without his help.

Look No Further

What a great service from Nick.

You are likely to need a locksmith when something has gone wrong or when you need to keep yourself and your family safe. In both cases, the key word is trust.

I have no hesitation at all in recommending Nick. He was fast, effective, trustworthy, great value and very easy to deal with.
One of those guys that you immediately put into your phone book and mention to your pals.
Thanks matey - you bailed me out.

I'm overseas and needed a lock replacement in Southport. One SMS message and Nick responded almost immediately. He obviously isn't a WFH workshy, I knew I was on to a winner. He was quick to send a quote, very economical and arranged a convenient day and time. Job done, one time and without fuss and Nick kept me in the loop with findings. Highly reccomended. Thank You Nick.

Nick is extremely professional and immediately responded to my request to fit two mortice locks on my bathroom doors. It was a fiddly job but he got it done speedily and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. Amanda.

Only locksmith I'll ever call

back door stopped locking and because it's a complex floodsafe door, there are lots of contact points and added difficulty. Nick had thankfully seen it all before and made sure that everything was fixed and working perfectly. He was responsive, on time and easy to work with.. huge difference to other companies we've used in the past. Thanks Nick! 5*

Nick Hughes Locksmith - Southport

I heard about Nick through another person... What a great guy he is and lots of experience. I had given up having my upvc french doors sorted due to previous `so called` Locksmiths not doing a good job.
Nick was on time, very friendly and put me at ease. Not only did he repair my bathroom window, he also sorted my two french doors, front door and velux at a very reasonable price.
Nick will be the only Locksmith I will call if I have any other problems.

A contractor you can trust

We got in touch with Nick after our front door lock completely seized. He was with us in Formby in around 25 minutes and he replaced the lock with a new one. The charge was fair and reasonable and we found Nick to be very polite and courteous throughout the job. I would highly recommend Nick to anybody looking for a reliable, trustworthy locksmith.

Reliable, hardworking and trustworthy

We’ve called on Nick twice now, once for being locked out and the second to replace locks on our kitchen doors. Nick is a reliable, trustworthy and skilled locksmith and no job is too much bother. He is kind, approachable and a really nice guy who you feel comfortable with. I can’t fault the service Nick has given us and will definitely call on him again (should we need to) and recommend him to others.
