I’d locked my keys at inside and needed a locksmith to get me back in. Called just before 8pm and locksmith arrived by 8:15pm. Excellent value for money, great job done - would highly recommend!

Great service from a local business, would certainly recommend. My front (UPVC) door lock had broken in that the key simply spun around (but the door was closed and locked). This was not the easiest job to solve, the old lock had to be drilled out. Everything done, and new lock installed in just over an hour of arriving. Richard also realigned the door, so that it would lock easier in the future. Cost seemed quite reasonable given the parts fitted and time taken. Richard himself was very friendly, and showed / explained everything to me.

I contacted Richard on Sunday morning after googling a local locksmith and saw all the brilliant reviews.

He replied to my email within an hour and had provided a quote and was booked in to come see us on the Tuesday.

He arrived on time and explained everything he was going to do and also provided advice on what we thought was a broken lock requiring replacement (just needed a new key). He could have easily replaced the lock and charged £50+. Very honest and just what you would hope everyone would do (but they dont).

I would 100% recommend Hero Locksmith.

I had just moved into a new flat and being a bit dim didn't know how the lock worked properly. Richard came out promptly and it took him under a minute to sort the issue (key stuck in the lock). Not only that, he then checked the door and lock mechanism and refused to accept full hourly payment (if it had been a large company they would have fleeced me I'm sure). Very decent chap and will certainly use Hero again if needed. Also, I like to use local traders but like many very diligent in checking out the credentials and reviews. All is above board and all the good reviews certainly mirror my experience!

I have used Hero Locksmith twice within the last few weeks - to replace a broken front door lock and also to replace a UPVC door handle and adjust another mis aligned UPVC door. Excellent, prompt service from Richard. Definitely agree with previous reviews - 5 star rating.

I had an out of hours issue where my door handle broke and I was locked out of my flat. Richard arrived in under 20 minutes from when I called him, he got the job done quickly and efficiently, and charged a completely fair price. He complied with COVID social distancing measures throughout - was very friendly and professional - and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his company to anyone!

Gain entry to flat after locking myself out.
Richard the locksmith came out very quickly on a Saturday evening, even though he was in the middle of his tea! Nice chap and very professional service. Price appropriate to job. Would recommend.

We needed to get a broken door lock replaced at fairly short notice (the door was jammed stuck, I was late for work, etc.). Richard turned up when he said he would and the lock was replaced quickly and without any fuss.

Nice guy, great work. I'd definitely recommend him.

I found out that I lost my key when i was traveling back to Edinburgh after visiting family 500 miles away.
I contacted Richard in the train on my way back to Edinburgh, and picked his company because of the good reviews, and because he immediately responded to my phone call. I did not have to leave a message or fill in a form to get a quote or go through an endless menu on the phone.
When I finally arrived after a looooong journey, he was at my place at the time we arranged, changed the lock and got me back in the house within 10 minutes.
Richard was kind, pleasant, and professional. It was a joy to meet him.
if it was possible I would rate him 10 stars and recommend him to everyone.
