Jon came to fix the lock on our back door. He was excellent and arrived with 20-30 minutes of calling him. He was very professional, friendly and fixed the door. He had all the parts with him to fix it. He also ensured the doors were aligned at the end of the work. I would highly recommend Active Lock Centre to fix any issues with locks/doors

Absolutely brilliant experience - this first locksmith I tried failed to get in through our high security locks but not John. He is highly skilled and very calm and patient. He picked the lock quickly and saved the day when I was locked out with no spare keys within 300 miles of home 🙂

Honest, responsive and talented locksmith. Jonathan arrived when promised, resolved our problem and lubricated the lock. After hearing about the scammers Jonathan explained clearly what he would do and delivered exactly as promised. Recommended by us.

Jonathan kindly provided us with a free survey to allow us to understand the difference in the locks that we could choose to put on the front door. This allowed us to make the right decision from his advice and explanations He was patient with us whilst we arranged a date for him to install the lock and helped realign the door. We would recommend Jonathan to anyone that needs any form of assistance or their locks changed. Thanks again!
