Superb service. Terry came out to our house on the same day to open a uPbc door for which we had lost the key. Kindly fitted the job in at 5pm. He was courteous and communicated the issues clearly. Having solved the issue expertly, Terry replaced the lock barrel, supplied fresh keys and chatted prior to leaving. Brilliant work!

Great - and speedy - service from Terry. Came out at short notice on a Saturday and fixed the problem with both our doors, and offered helpful advice. Would use again. Recommended.

Terry came out yesterday, which was a Sunday, at short notice to fix my back door lock. He was punctual and very helpful. He charged a fair price and talked me through all the options. Thanks Terry for a great service.

Claire L.Google review

Very quick to answer and come out to my house. I asked for a new front door lock but Terence suggested it just needed fixed so cost me less than expected. Would recommend

Gemma D.Google review

Great service from Terry! Our composite door had been stuck in the closed position for a while and some companies wouldn’t even look at it. Terry had it sorted in no time and we now have a usable front door again. A nice friendly bloke too! I would recommend Fastlocks without hesitation.

Stephen F.Google review

What a fantastic, super quick and efficient service from Terry. Called at 6pm with a upvc door that wouldn't lock. Terry arrived within 15mins and had the lock replaced and all sorted within a further 45mins. Can't fault or rate highly enough, seriously top bloke and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. Thank you mate. 👍

Karl C.Google review

Opening a lock, not breaking it.

  1. We look at the lock

    Euro cylinder, mortice, rim lock or a uPVC multipoint. Knowing which one decides the gentlest way in.

  2. We set the pins

    Where the lock allows it, each pin is lifted to the shear line by hand, one at a time.

  3. The plug turns

    With every pin set, the cylinder turns and the door opens. No splintered frame.

  4. We leave it working

    If the lock is worn or damaged we’ll say so and can change it there and then.
