Can highly recommend J Carter Locksmiths. They gave me a reasonable quote for a new door lock mechanism and 2 double glazed windows which just needed the glass replacing. They did a great job so I used them again to replace a rotting door on a garden cabin. Again they did a brilliant job and cleared up afterwards.

Jake and Joel of J Carter Locksmiths have fixed my stuck balcony door and replaced blown windows in my 4th floor flat this June 2026. They responded quickly to my job request, they were efficient, courteous and tidied everything away afterwards. Their charges are very fair and competitive. I highly recommend them and would definitely use Jake and Joel again.

Absolutely fantastic service all round. Jake was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to change the locks to a commercial unit very quickly. Jake really went above and beyond to help us out of a very difficult situation. 100% recommended and will use again if the need arises.
