My front door had jammed up locking us in our home even though it was unlocked. I looked for a local company and came across Locks Express a local family run company. Dean was at my home just over an hour after my call and freed the door and replaced the mechanism. He was friendly, efficient and respected my property whilst working. A complete professional. Thank you so much.

I have used Dean at Locks Express across multiple properties since 2009.
The fact that I still use his services after sixteen years tells you everything you need to know !!
Highly Recomended!
Great communication, fixed with no fuss. Made everything very easy.
Excellent professional service. Arrived promptly and job completed at a very reasonable price. 👌
Really pleased with the communication, arrangements for the job and swift completion. Would highly recommend and great that it’s a local Kendal business
Highly recommended for their efficient, professional and friendly service. Fixed my UPVC door at the price we agreed even though he had to source spare parts and return a second time to complete the job.
Excellent advice, prompt service and replacement of a troublesome back door lock. Very happy with all the work from Dean at Locks Express.
Brilliant service at a really good price. Communication via WhatsApp was really easy and prompt. Would highly reccomend
I can only re iterate the other 5 star reviews that Dean has received on Trustpilot.
Very couteous and professional locksmith who gives great service at very reasonable prices.
Last night our front door would not lock. I searched for a tradesman with a local number, sent a text and now a new mechanism skillfully done. Really impressive service, first class.
Dean was very pleasant to deal with when I rang to enquire when he could attend to fix a faulty door lock. We quickly agreed a date & time. On the day I described the problem we had with door lock, Dean not only quickly sorted & fixed the lock but was happy to spend more time to ensure both doors were working correctly & better than they had in last few years. Saved us buying new doors I’m sure. 👍
Great service. Would highly recommend Dean (good to support a local business too).
Dean , responded immediately and worked expertly and promptly to fix my locked door issue . Highly recommended
Came on time on the same day we called - did a great job at a price we were happy with - couldn’t recommend more highly
