I have used Fort Locks over the last 17 years and I regard this company as one of the most professional Locksmith companies around especially for management of Blocks. Fort Locks is extremely reliable, hardworking, understands the problems and repairs the fault, costs are very competitive, work is completed (usually on the day of the attendance or quotes provided within a day) and feedback is received with reports/photos/videos showing repairs so you know the work has been completed satisfactorily. Services are vast from lock repairs/replacements, door alignments, door closure repairs/replacements, servicing and most problems relating to general door and lock issues which does include pedestrian gates. Fort Locks is a great company to use and very friendly, polite and just gets the job done with no hassles. Highly recommended

Fort Locks, Kevin, attended our broken front door issue promptly and repaired to full working order cutting extra keys for us at the same time (5 family members + spares). Really efficient service when it's your front door at stake and really fairly priced!

Needed someone to open my front door which had become locked shut due to the levers into the frame not disengaging. Called Fort Locks & Kevin attended within the hour and repaired the door without fuss. Clearly a professional. Highly recommended.

Excellent job! After contacting 5 local companies we struggle to get any response. We needed a new digital smart lock fitted along with two standard locks for our office front door. Luckily a friend recommended Kevin and he provided a fast professional service.

Fabulous, fast efficient service, Fort Locks were on my doorstep within the hour to deal with an emergency call out! No call out fee. The part required was sourced and fitted, all done in a timely manner with friendly professional service. Saved me from a Bank Holiday nightmare.

I locked myself out, called Fort Locks and spoke to Kevin. He was really helpful, arrived in roughly 20 minutes or so and got me back into my house in a flash. I can highly recommend Fort Locks as the go-to locksmith in St Albans!

Called Kevin at 1200 on a Saturday afternoon for an emergency locksmith job as could not lock the front door. He turned up within 30 minutes and completed the job within 10 minutes. Will definitely use him again. Thank you.
