Great company, saved us a fortune by finding a part for our Ingersoll lock rather than replacing the whole lock which was a few hundred pounds- they knew we were prepared to pay that if necessary.Also sourced some handles for our patio doors which we had been told were obsolete. Both Jim the locksmith and Ethan in the shop were a pleasure to work with.

Having finally got rid of the tenants from hell Ash was with us within an hour of calling. He was very forgiving of the stinking cesspit he had to walk into and quickly ensured our future security. I have used this company before and will not hesitate to use them again as the service is always impeccable. Now the clean up begins!

Upon losing my home keys whilst I was out I contacted Wakefield Lock and Key Centre to ask for their help. The staff in the shop and the locksmith who came to do the job were very helpful and courteous, and the locksmith explained what he was doing and why (he had to replace the lock). A great response to a less than ideal situation!

I was locked out of my property with a broken lock. Landlady called Wakefield Lock and Key. Turned up as promised within the hour. Terry was very polite with a great attitude. Gained access and changed the Cylinder lock that came with 5 keys. Great customer service that delivered what was promised.
