Very happy with the service I received! Was with me in less than an hour - which was a blessing because I had been locked out for 2 days and I finally admitted defeat that my keys were a goner! Price was great (less than I expected to be honest) and great friendly guy that came. Would recommend to anyone.

Good variety of multipoint locks in stock, got one for an obselete design which required minor adjustments to the door which were a bit of a fiddle but all good in the end. Advice was good. Price was fair. So no complaints.

We recently had to call this company out to the lock on our back door which would not lock. They gave us an estimated time to get a fitter to us. The fitter let us know when he was on his way to us and he arrived just before the expected time. The lock was removed and replaced very quickly. Excellent service.

Visited Wakefield Lock and Key today and the service technician called Reece, was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble in helping the customer who was being served before me and he was polite in asking if I minded waiting a couple of minutes whilst he sorted the other customer's keys. It was well worth the wait as the advice he then gave to me was spot on - customer care at its best. Would certainly recommend this firm. Excellent!!

My sliding Upvc door lock mechanism broke meaning I was unable to open the doors. Ash from Wakefield Lock and Key Centre arrived in less than an hour, and performed a temporary repair to get the door working again. A couple of days later he came back with a new mechanism to replace the broken one. The price of the work was very competitive, and the work was done to a high standard. Can't fault the great service and value.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Reece and the rest of the team there were ever so helpful. I needed to replace an old lock, Reece rang around suppliers and managed to find an exact replacement.This is the kind of five star service that you only get from brilliant local businesses, the big box DIY stores have neither the specific knowledge or time to provide such a service.Whatever your lock needs maybe use these guys. Fantastic.

Friendly, helpful and quick!I rang about a query I had regarding changing an internal front door handle, and they did everything they could to try and resolve my issue over the phone to avoid having to come out and charge me. Unfortunately the issue couldn't be resolved over the phone, but they came next day and fitted me a new handle. Great service. Highly recommend
