Hero Locksmith

Very pleased with the service provided by Richard. He undertook the replacement of tricky front door lock with impressive professionalism and knowledge. Courteous and a friendly manner. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, speedy service to remove a broken key from front door lock and provided a replacement key in the process!

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 would 100% recommend Hero Locksmiths. They were really fast to attend, it was a friendly service, reasonable price and an excellent finish!

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.

Very friendly service - Richard called me back on the same day I emailed, told me what the basic charge would be and made sure I was OK with that prior to the visit. He gave me a rough idea of when he'd visit, and on the arranged day he phoned to let me know he was on his way.

The job was done quickly, and now I have a UPVC door which finally closes & locks/unlocks easily after 21 years of putting up with using 'the knack' to do it. I'm delighted - as is my daughter who could never master it!

I highly recommend Richard and I'll certainly use his services again should I have any further door or lock issues.

Fitted new lock and also installed new handle on window. Richard was very quick, very professional and very personable. He went out of his way to be helpful and the whole experience was a breeze. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Richard replaced the lock on front door and also cut an extra key from his van. Excellent service ! Quoted price over the phone prior to attending and arrived very promptly and fitted new lock in minutes.
Really good quality lock and keys. Well worth the money. Highly recommend Richard. What a great guy too!

We needed two jobs carried out and Richard was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. we would highly recommend Hero Locksmith.

We had our front door lock changed to conform to standard insurance requirement and were very happy with the work completed in no time. Richard was pleasant and professionnal. We recommand this local company.

Replacement stair door lock fitted and 34 keys supplied. The locksmith prepared the keys in advance so it was easy to arrange fitting the new lock as everyone already had their keys. Was on time, efficient and personable. I would certainly use his services again.

Very happy with work done to replace a lock etc. Very nice manner, quick and efficient. Would have no problem recommending.

I found myself locked in when a visitor made a mistake with my yale lock on her way out. Richard arrived within half an hour and managed to open the door without any damage or other costs. Good guy. Very grateful.

Really good company!
Great prices and service better! Thanks Chris Gladden

Very quick to get back to me and arrange a convenient time, gave great advice - could easily have oversold but didn't. Very friendly and trustworthy.

My lock stuck so I contacted Hero Locksmith who arrived promptly and fixed it with a better lock than I had before!

I wanted to upgrade my front and back door locks so messaged Richard. He phoned me right back and we discussed what I needed, he quoted the price and arranged to come out the next day. Really nice guy, gave good, helpful advice. Will definitely use again.

I broke a handle on a PVC window straight after moving in to a new house on a Friday evening. It was fixed straight away and this allowed me to secure the property. Richard was friendly, fast,and great value for money. I asked him back to replace a front door lock. Again the service was top notch. Would recommend.

My front door handle locking mechanism was becoming increasingly stiff to open and close and I couldn't work out what the problem was. I phoned Hero Locksmiths and Richard arrived in 20 minutes, checked a few potential problems, identified the issue and fixed it. Very speedy and efficient, and a nice bloke. Great service.

My front door lock failed so I couldn't open the door
The locksmith was at the house within 20 minutes of being contacted.
He replaced the lock after cutting through the lock in order to open the door. He cut the extra keys I needed in his van which is a real bonus as he checked they were all working.
He was efficient, professional and I would use him again. His charge for the whole job was very reasonable.

Called for some advice regarding what I needed to satisfy my new house insurance. Richard came out same day, phoned in advance to check I was in, and looked at the doors and windows I was querying. He confirmed that I needed nothing done, and did not charge me for the visit. He was very helpful, friendly and extremely responsive to my query. I would call him again if I have any problems.

Efficient, prompt, helpful and friendly.

Excellent service. Came out and sorted lock on same day. Gave good advice on what to do if I have problems with other locks. Would def recommend to others

Delighted with service. Issue fixed within 20 minutes of calling. Would definitely use again and would not hesitate to recommend.

Really quick response. Un-patronising professional advice on the phone and once at house. Richard got on with the job quickly and efficiently. I am very happy with the result and the cost.
I hope he enjoyed his holiday which was imminent!

Hero Locksmith turned up quickly and did the job well and in a friendly manner. I'd certainly use them again if I needed their services.

Richard was quick to take my initial call, able to carry out the work later the same day, and was professional, courteous and helpful when he visited our home. He replaced the locks on both our front door and our rear conservatory, explaining how and why he was using particular products and advantages they had on the existing locks. Not only that, he improved the action of the doors, gave us some maintenance tips, and was friendly throughout. Definitely to be recommended.

Great responsive service and talked me through options in easily understandable way. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very prompt efficient service and even cleaned up after changing the locks. Happy customer

I got locked out of my flat and wanted him to come and get through the door and then replace the locks which I think one was a mortise and one was a yale type. The yale one he managed to open without damaging it, but the only way through the mortise one was to drill it out. He did that, got the door open and then fitted a new one. I asked him to replace the yale one at the same time while he was here which he did [this wasn't required it was just my preference]. He also cut 4 pairs of extra spare keys for me and tested them all. [2 keys were included for each lock already, I just prefer to have a lot of spare keys]. I often feel very anxious with people coming to my flat, but he was really friendly and happy to help. I've used him a few times now. He was easy to contact on the phone and arrived really quickly.

Fab service from start to finish!

Excellent, very quick service! Richard is the most nice tradesman whose services we have used so far! Highly recommended! Pleasure to do the business! Thank you ever so much for your help! You saved the day ( no wonder you are called Hero locksmith! ;) ) xxx

Richard was very easy to get ahold of - always quick to answer or calls back promptly if he's unable to. He came out to the address within an hour of being called to replace a lock on the front door which was sorted in 15 minutes.

Price was very fair and done quickly with a bank transfer.

Richard also had a quick look at a loose fitting interior lock (missing a screw) and sorted that without any extra charge.

I later decided I wanted an extra couple of keys cut and he asked, as it was dinner time, if I could head to his residence to meet him at his van which was totally understandable. He didn't hesitate to pop out and cut the keys there and then in 5 minutes.

Phenomenal chap and he's my first go to for lock problems.

I 'phoned on a Saturday before Xmas and expected to leave a message to advise I was having difficulty with the lock. The 'phone was answered by Richard. Within 45 minutes he was at the door. The lock was changed for a better one and the requested 5 keys were supplied all at a modest price. I was very impressed. Richard was a joy to do business with. Good service, good price, good manners and good to be able to recommend him.

I was locked out on a Saturday night, called Hero locksmith and they arrived very quickly. Got me back into the house in no time! Opened the door with no damaged and reunited me with my dog. Could not thank them enough!

Called asking for help with regards to a broken lock. I asked if he could come at a specific time which he did. He called in advance to make sure it was still convenient. Advised what the problem was and gave me a few different options as to how to rectify the situation. Prices given which were extremely reasonable, new lock fitted and some minor adjustments completed to door. Great service would definitely recommend.

I would definitely use Hero locksmiths again. He arrived quickly as it was urgent, he was friendly and efficient with good prices.

Richard responded quickly. Ordered required parts and everything fixed by next day. Cheerful person and I would definitely use again and recommend

Great service, called to enquire for a quote for communal stairwell lock repair, offered great advice and provided telephone quote - cheaper than others. Richard arrived within an hour of calling, repaired lock.

Called Richard, 3 months later as I was locked out of my flat, he provided a telephone quote and arrived within an hour. Removed and replaced mortice deadlock and I was back in my flat quickly. No damage to door and new keys cut, professional service, highly recommend - wouldn't hesitate to call again.

Have used Richard on a couple of occasions for different jobs. Most recent one was pretty complex, for a bespoke door on an old property. He was very reliable and went out of his way to get the work done at a time that suited me. Would happily recommend. He presents as a very trustworthy and nice person.

I had several quotes to change the lock on a communal stairwell and Richard's was significantly cheaper than the others. He quickly assessed the problem during a telephone conversation and advised, contrary to other locksmiths I spoke to, that it was only the barrel that needed replaced, not the entire unit.

He was happy to carry out the work on a Saturday morning and arrived punctually. He replaced the barrel, cut keys for all the residents and tested them, all within 40 minutes. Job done!

If you are after an honest, reliable locksmith who knows his stuff, Richard ticks all the boxes. I will most definitely be adding him to my list of 'Best Found Tradesmen'.

Richard arrived promptly after calling and was very quick and efficient. He was extremely pleasant to myself and reassuring to my grandmother who had locked herself out. The problem was sorted without any damage to the door. Great service!

A massive thanks to Richard for everything he did. We called him on a Saturday Morning and he was with us within an hour or so. He was extremely polite and did a fantastic job for us changing 2 locks and adding a third.
The cost was a lot less than we expected and we would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Thank you so much for everything.

Richard is warm, friendly, reliable, trustworthy and skilled. I have used his service a couple of times and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Delighted with the service. Was locked out of my apartment. Called at 17.40 and locksmith was out and had me in the apartment within 40 minutes. Really good value for money aswell. Extremely friendly. Would 100% recommend and use again but hopefully I won't have to!

I have used Richard at Hero locksmiths several times and can't recommend him highly enough. Always a speedy service with good and clear feedback on each occasion.
I would definitely use him and recommend him for all types of lock issues.
