I needed a few quotes for some work that I needed doing on a couple of doors and was put onto Jon, by Need For Speed Locksmiths & Auto Locksmiths. When I rang him up and explained the situation over the phone, he offered to come up and have a look at the doors before i could even ask! When he turned up, he seemed friendly, passionate and knowledgable, about what he was doing and impressed both my mother and I.

He also didnt fob us off with unnessceray parts As a result of this and the quote he gave us, we gave him the job and were extremely pleased with the end result. If I ever need any work doing to any doors in the future, I will give him a call straight away.

Excellent and friendly service, quick response. My wife's bag was stolen with all of her keys and IDs, so we needed to change our house locks very quickly. Jon helped me to work through what needed to be done, and was able to get the locks changed efficiently within a couple of hours. He was also able to connect us with a great auto locksmith who helped us resolve a similar issue with our car. Thanks for everything that you did for us, Jon!

John literally saved my life. Locked myself out out of the house (I live by myself) at 10pm. I was with my phone so did a bit of research on google and called John. He was in my house in 6 MINUTES! Thanks again John, keep up the good work!

Promptly got us in after we couldn't get back into the property. Went out of his way to help us and was very thorough. He spent a bit of time to fix the mechanism and didn't leave it till he was satisfied. The door works smoothly now. Diligent and caring for customers, thoroughly recommend!

Jon was able to talk me through everything of what i needed to do on the phone so he would be able to access the problem of what is wrong with my lock. He was good with time keeping of getting to our house quickly and able to look at every possibility of what could be wrong with the door, that 2 other locksmiths couldn't do. He was able to fix the lock to our door in no time! Thank you for your time and dedication of helping keep our house safe snd secure for our son! 10/10!

Jon gave us great communication and made it to the house in the time he said he would. He was fair and precise, managed to let us back in the house and realign the door in no time. Number is now saved for a rainy day

Experienced, qualified, responsive and well-equipped. Active Locks are far more likely to open or repair your lock than someone with a big drill and a van full of locks for sale. If you do need new or additional locks fitted, they have good quality products on board. They leave everything very clean and tidy too. Save this listing to your favourites or this number to your phone now, because when you need it, you'll probably be in a hurry and you'll want the job done swiftly and professionally.

Jonathan was everything I could ask for when I needed a new lock on my front door: responsive, quick, polite, effective and good value for money. I called him in the morning and by mid-afternoon, I had a new lock. I would definitely recommend. Service: Locksmith

Excellent service, highly recommended! Needed a lock replaced at a tenants flat, they did not demand a call out charge, turned up the next day as planned, called me and provided me with a quote BEFORE they started work and completed everything within a matter of minutes. What's not to like! will 100% use again.

Very reliable company that can provide you first class servicing. I am glad I chose them because I got great quality at reasonable price.
M. Pugsley
Fantastic company - my husband and I were locked out, Active Lock Centre arrived in 10mins and we were in less than 10mins after that - no broken lock or damage and a flat fee that was cheaper than other quotes when we called around. Highly recommend!
Monique Carty
Came out straight away and fixed the issue. Very reasonably priced too!
Aimee Rivers
Jon was extremely professional and friendly, opened the lock without breaking anything, it was clear that he knew exactly what to do and got on with it quickly. Reasonable rates, no hidden extras. Would recommend highly.
Jack Morris-Jones
Great service by Jon! Well priced and even when the job posed problems he fixed them at no extra cost. Outstanding!!!
Kevin Zapico
Had a key wedged in a motorcycle ignition. Spent several hours with AA trying to remove it with no success. Jon came round and within 30 minutes had solved the problem for me. I thought I was in for a new ignition cost but was thankfully was rescued. Really nice guy, very reasonable (if not cheap) for the service. Would be happy to use this firm again and will be recommending Jon to whoever will listen. Many thanks.
Andrei S.
Would highly recommend. Jon arrived 15 minutes after calling and sorted the problem within half an hour or so. Didn't charge over the moon, would definitely use again.

The locksmith arrived at my house just 15 minutes after I (stupidly!) pulled the front door shut with a key still on the inside! (This meant I couldn't get my own key in to unlock it again). He got the door open very quickly, with no damage whatsoever to either the door or the lock. At my own request, he supplied and fitted a new cylinder lock, which has an internal 'thumb-wheel'.

As no key is now needed to lock the door from the inside - I know I won't end up in this situation again. The replacement lock is a better ''anti-snap" design, and so is also more secure than the original. It came with 3 keys, and he kindly cut a 4th key for me at no extra cost. The price for the whole job was extremely reasonable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest "old-school" service. I couldn't be happier.

An excellent service. The motorbike key they cut for me is better than the original one!
