Having accidentally locked myself out when the back door lock jammed and trying other ways to get in, my friend gave me Lock n Load’s number. Stephen was on his way back from a family day out and said he’d by with me in approximately an hour. When he arrived he was very professional and reassuring had me back in the house within 2 minutes and fixed the problem with the lock which thankfully didn’t need replacing. Stephen told me to tighten the mechanism from time to time and I should have no more problems. Top bloke would highly recommend Lock n Load to anyone needing a locksmith. 10/10 😀Posted on Google jackie ibbotson19 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
