Phoned Alcatraz and got a timescale of arriving between 1 and 2pm same day. Arrived just after 1pm. He fitted a new lock to my front door, replacing old faulty lock. Aligned the door for me as well so all worked as it should. I also got him to supply and fit a new more secure lock to my back door. He was very quick and efficient. Work was well priced. Very friendly and I will definitely use him again, if an occasion occurs.

Phoned Alcatraz this morning around 10:00ish, after reading reviews on this site. Danny has just left. He fitted a new lock to my kitchen door, replacing old faulty lock. He was very quick and efficient, and he was right on time that he said he would get here. Work was very reasonably priced. Danny himself was very friendly and I will definitely use him again, if an occasion occurs.

Alcatraz responded promptly to our request and came out the next day. Our French doors had become almost unusable and Danny realigned the doors for us. He also showed us how to tighten the hinges if we need to. He was very professional and friendly and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alcatraz or to use them again.

Threatening to break for a while, our dodgy patio sliding door lock broke this morning, leaving the door unlocked. Danny was quick to fit us in and able to change the lock - saving us the expense of buying a whole new patio door! He also changed the handles on our front door so they spring closed again. Totally value for money and excellent service - I definitely recommend Alcatraz Locksmiths (as well as the excellent name!).

Woke to find that I could not open the back door as mechanism in upvc door had jammed (not for the first time). Phoned and was told that someone would arrive between 11-12 that morning. Danny duly arrived on time, fully explained the problem and carried out a comprehensive repair. Was pleasant and was obviously a tradesman who knew his stuff. We were very pleased with the result and the reasonable price. Would not hesitate to recommend!

I called Danny from Alcatraz Locksmiths and explained the problem with the door and how we were unable to lock them. He said he will come in 25 minutes and he kept his word, he arrived on time, fixed the door and explained the issue to my partner. He texted me after, that the job was done. I will definitely use that company in the future and recommend it also.

I required a locked door to be opened and new lock installed, Alcatraz Locksmiths were extremely fast at responding to my request. They were very professional and set about the job at hand, they installed an upgrade lock to the door and the price quoted didn't change at all. I was extremely pleased with the level of work done and how fast it was done, I highly recommend Alcatraz Locksmith to anyone that requires an excellent but cheap locksmith.

Key snapped in the lock. Called and got an instant quote to fix, which I thought was very reasonable, and was told they’d be there in 20 minutes. Arrived on time and had the job completed in no time. Very good at maintaining social distancing and very polite too.
Turned a very stressful situation into a very easy one!
Can’t recommend highly enough, especially after hearing some horror locksmith stories in Edinburgh.

The locksmith was very friendly and professional. Although it was a predicament to get back in they were clear and concise about what they were doing and were very efficient. They responded to my call very quickly as well. I’m happy to have used their service and if I were ever stuck in the same situation again there’s no one else I’d call. 5 star service.

Danny came to check front and back door locks, which he said were fine.
He refitted a bathroom door lock and handle which had come loose and away, and fitted a chain for the front door, explaining everything
Charge was very reasonable, and I would contact him again.
Very helpful information on his entry on Edinburgh Trusted Traders website.

I needed a broken handle replaced on a patio door. They came out on time to replace but needed to order a part which arrived the following day (it was too late in the afternoon to get that day). I was contacted when they had the part and they arrived 10 minutes later to fix it. I could not fault the service, polite, punctual and value for money. I’d recommend them and I would definitely use again.

Came to open yale lock. Quoted 60 pounds in the phone and was there is 20 minutes. Ended up fitting a new lock at no extra cost. Very affordable and quick service.

Called Alcatraz in the morning and he attended that afternoon after going through a lot of detail and likely coatings on the phone.
After he arrived he went through all the options to solve the issue and when it was decided he worked quickly to resolve it.
And the cost was less than reasonably quoted!
Winner! Happily to recommend and will use again if needed.

This afternoon I returned to my flat to find that a visitor had adjusted the snib lock from the inside, before leaving my flat this morning, meaning that my key no longer worked in my Yale lock. Stressful since I had work to do and a Skype meeting to attend. Alcatraz Locksmiths said they could be with me within the hour, which they were. And the locksmith could not have been more considerate, kind, helpful, effective and friendly. He managed to sort the problem within 8 minutes, leaving no mess (as in scratches etc) on the paintwork, and all the while being extra cheery!! Would use Alcatraz Locksmiths again in a flash, and will recommend to all my friends too.

Danny/Alcatraz was recommended via social media and by this site. So glad I contacted him. He knew exactly what was needing done from my description and came out really quickly. Arrived on time, explained again what was wrong and showed me the fault. Fixed it and all done! Definitely recommend!

Courteous, high quality and utterly transparent workmanship. Danny was professional and a great guy to talk with as he worked; all the while he helped talk me through what he was doing and why (and in understandable terms too!!).
Cannot be more pleased with the service I’ve received.

Danny came out within 15/20 minutes of calling him which was great - very quick to get us in the house (especially having kids with us) after the key broke in the lock. Would highly recommend and will use him again if needed in future.

I locked myself out and went to work. I called up the locksmith Danny and we arranged a suitable for me to meet back at the house. He explained the charges to get me access 50 and 20 to replace the lock. I went for new replacement Chubb lock. £70. He was very friendly and the job carried out in 20 mins. I am very happy with the service. Thank you

We had two jobs one of which turned out to be a lot simpler than expected and the other a lot more tricky. The locksmith tried various solutions and sorted it all out for us - and didn't charge any extra because the first job was straightforward, which was very fair of him. Service was quick - they fitted us in the next day - and we knew what it would cost in advance. Really cheery locksmith and highly recommend this company.

Have used this locksmith on 3 different occasions now. Has always been able to provide an appointment within a time scale that suited. Has been prompt, kept up good communication if needed. Been willing to make adaptions to fit exactly what we needed. Always cleans up after, no mess left. Always very happy with their work/service.

Locked myself out my flat and called Alcatraz. Service was prompt and communicative taking no more than 15 mins to attend having explained options over phone. Being unable to access Assa lock was a confidence booster to my security and given the choice I opted to have my lock drilled out to access property and then a new lock akin to my old one fitted very professionally and speedily with 3 new keys supplied. Service was outstanding and value for money exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Danny to others.

Weekend job, turned up on time, good communication with phone, priced clearly from the start, efficient and quick, talked me through what he was doing as well, changed the lock with no problems. Would very much recommend Danny at Alcatraz Locksmiths to anybody needing locksmithing done in Edinburgh or the Lothians. Thanks Danny.

I've never left a positive review about a trader before but I would wholeheartedly recommend any friend, family or insurer about Alcatraz!! They fixed my handle within 20 mins but crucially they explained the problem was my door alignment not the handle.they upgraded the handle and realigned the door in double quick time. At any opportunity I would recommend their services. Many thanks, Gareth

My house had been broken into and the inside porch door was locked shut. I tried to unpick the lock and failed. It was after-hours, but I called Danny and he was over within 20 minutes. He managed to get the key out of the lock without damaging the old vintage door. It only took him 10 minutes. I'd highly recommend using this company.
