My door wasn’t locking, so I called late at night. He kindly offered to come out straight away to secure it, but I managed to sort it myself and it was really thoughtful of him to offer. He was quick, had all the parts ready to go, and came out the next day to fit a more secure lock. He explained why the old one wasn’t very secure and what had caused the door to fail before. He also repaired the inner workings of the door and even sorted a few other issues I hadn’t realised were there. Fast, efficient, and reliable. I’d definitely recommend him!

Optimus Locksmiths came out to sort my door after it stopped locking randomly on Sunday afternoon. He didn’t have the part in stock to fix immediately, so put a temporary lock on so the house was safe overnight. Gavin returned a day later to sort it out with the part. Communication was great, I knew when he ordered the part, when it came and when he was planning on coming.

He was a good price, cheaper than others I called!

I would also like to add that as a woman on my own, I felt comfortable with him doing work in the house.

Will defo use again if needed!

Gavin came out on a Saturday, during the festive period, to repair my front door lock and provided excellent service. He was very knowledgeable, efficient, and competitively priced. I’ll definitely use him again and highly recommend him.

We had such a great experience with Optimus Locksmith! We first spoke on Wednesday about changing our locks, and by Friday everything was already done! Quick, smooth, and completely stress free. He was super friendly, professional, and really efficient. We’re very happy with the service and would highly recommend!

Outstanding service! Fixed my door promptly, supplied a new lock, and clearly demonstrated how to use it. Later in the week, I had a few queries, and they were more than happy to assist—even visiting to ensure everything was perfect. No problem was too small, and the professionalism and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommended to anyone needing reliable support

Called Optimus late on a Friday evening to gain access to a property in Corby that a tenant had lost the keys to. Gavin was on-site within 15 minute's and my tenant was back in the property within 25 minutes. All for a reasonable price!

Guests locked out

Called Gav out after one of my Airbnb guests locked themselves out. After waiting 3 hours for the previous locksmith, Gavin arrived within half an hour and had my guest back inside within minutes. Fast, reliable, and professional service — highly recommended.

Excellent service from Gary

Excellent service from Gary! We were a bit stuck tonight as our door was not locking. He saw our Facebook post on a community page and within 30mins was here and sorted. My mum is very vulnerable with a condition and this did worry her before sorted! Super friendly and very knowledgeable! Thank you for everything.

Highly recommend.

I sent Gavin some photos of a faulty back door lock/handle and he provided a very reasonable quote. As he was already in my area he arrived within a couple of hours and stuck to his quote even though the job took longer and there was slightly more involved. Gavin is very genuine, friendly and personable and explains everything in detail. He made sure I understood all my options before starting the job.
