I felt he was a very trustworthy person and I would have no hesitation in using his services again for any lock repair, whether it’s my car, home or work place. Thank you James.

What a brilliant service! Couldn't recommend James more highly.

He made a house call, got my car opened and programmed a brand new key card for me the very next day. Will certainly recommend his services to all my friends and family should they need it.

I needed a locksmith desperately on Boxing day 2018. I tried so many off the internet but no-one would come out. Someone did however give me James's number. I rang hoping for some luck in my hour of need. And James did not disappoint. He gave me an estimated time to come to which he was in contact via text the whole time so I wasn't waiting out in the cold. So I waited around my parents. He was very polite, professional, reasonable and helpful. He managed to do the job with no problem at all and very quickly. I can't thank him enough for getting me out the dog house with my family & saving the day. Would highly recommend. Thank you again Ann.

V. K.

J. H.

I locked myself out of my house at night (again lol) and James was recommended to me by a friend. I called him the next day and arranged to meet at my house. He arrived before me and was friendly and efficient. He got me in to get my spare key, so I didn’t need a new lock. Call out fee was standard, as far as I’m aware. I felt I received a safe, professional service and will feel confident to recommend James to friends, family etc. Thanks James 👍

J.

F. W.

Called a few locksmiths as I lost my car key (with no spare) James was recommended by another locksmith so I gave him a call. He gave me a competative quote and could come out straight away.

Can't thank him enough!

Tried various numbers on a Friday night. Although advertising 24 hour service I only got answering machines. James immediately responded, gave a reasonable price, took details and arranged to call out at my convenience. He replaced the car lock in horrendous weather, programmed the key, all within 20 minutes. James provided excellent service. I would highly recommend him.

B. E.

Excellent and speedy service. I contacted James at lunch time after losing my only car key, and he was able to meet me after work and cut and code a new key for me. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for an excellent and friendly lock service

M. V.

Excellent service received from this company would highly recommend. Provided quick and a professional service. Needed to get into my property but was unable to due to having a broken gear box.

Highly recommend to anyone within the cardiff region.

N. W.

James came promptly on Boxing Day to help us with a "keys locked in th boot of a locked car" situation. He came quickly and got my brother in law back into his car with ease allowing them to get on their journey back to France. He was polite and professional and we would 100% recommend to others

A. G.

Couldn't be happier with the service James provided us with tonight. couldnt lock our back door and James repaired it for us and now our door is like new! Would highly recommend James as a lock smith, he was very polite and finished the job for us in just over half an hour. Very great full for how quick he sorted it for us and at a reasonable price too! I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know that needs a locksmith. Great service!

H. S. (.

d. r.

Excellent service 👏 got the job done in minutes.

t. w. c.

James got me into a highly secure metal door and replaced the locks with great ease. He could have charged me more for some other work on a different door, however he resolved the issue for free.

B. M.

James was incredibly helpful and easy to problem solve!

A. M.

Called and told him our problem. He said he’d be there in 15 minutes and he was. He sorted things out within 5 minutes. Can’t recommend him more highly. I wasn’t worried about the price We just wanted to get back in the house It was much cheaper than putting a brick through the window which was the only other alternative :)

S. P.

The lock in my upvc front door wouldn't open on Sunday afternoon and i couldn't get in to my house. I called James and he arrived in fifteen minutes. He soon gained entry and changed out the faulty mechanism and we were back up and running. Fast, friendly and better service than expected for Sunday afternoon. Thanks James, much appreciated.

J. D.

James came by a week ago to give me a quote and then happily agreed to come back today to unlock and replace the lock on my garage door. Very polite and trustworthy guy. Was mega impressed at how fast he managed to do it! Would definitely recommend. Thanks James!

C. C.

James was quick to respond to my wife locking the car keys in the boot. He appeared to be a genuinely nice chap who you can trust. Would recommend to anyone... first class service.

G. P.

Amazing service!! Got through to James straight away.I locked myself out of the house and my keys were on the inside. Had 2 little girls with me and the pooch so not ideal!! He left straight away. My husband managed to come home from work though and get us back in but James had already left. He was nice enough to not charge the call out fee even though he could've. Can't fault him. Will definitely be recommending him and keeping his number incase I need it in the future.

m. t.

Prompt, friendly and professional, will definitely recommend.

M.

We had an incident and called to change the locks. Was at the house within 30 mins, was really friendly and offered a quick and professional service. Thank you very much! Second time using him and would not hesitate to do so again.

J. C.

A few weeks ago I managed to lock my keys in my car whilst the engine was still running (not a very clever thing to do) after some panicking I called James, he gave me a price which was very reasonable, he told me he would be with me in a about 40 minutes which he did, it took him about 20 minutes to do the job, none of this is unusual but what was and impressed me about James is, he said 40 minutes and it was, we agreed a price and that was it moreover he was polite and sympathetic and very professional. If l or anyone I know ever need the services of a locksmith l would have no hesitation in recommending him. J Charalambous A very satisfied customer

t. m.

James came to our rescue he was kind professionals & sympathetic got the job done swiftly good value for money. James is a lovely gent I would certainly recommend him to family or friends.

D. E. L.

A. G.

James came to my student house in Cathays on a Saturday afternoon. He arrived within 30 mins of the phone call and had my bedroom door unlocked within 5 mins! Super friendly, great value for money - couldn't recommend James enough :)

L. T.

James was knowlegable, efficient and professional. He was cheaper than alot of the quotes I got. He answered the phone promptly at midnight, was willing to come out in the downpour rain and when I declined and he heard sniffles in my voice (I had been crying) he asked if I was OK. I knew I was in safe hands. If ever stuck again, he would be the only one I would call. Thank you James!

i. M.

We had an issue with the the multi locking system on our front door which had left us with a jammed front door. I called and explained the problem and James Locksmiths were with us within the hour and they quickly resolved the problem. The cost of the repair was very good value also. I highly recommend them.

S. V.

I contacted James after looking myself out of my flat at 4.30am on a Saturday morning. Not only did James arrive before the allocated 30 minute time slot, he had my door open in literally minutes. At that time in the morning I was not hopeful for much, but James was very helpful and albeit that early he was very polite. I would definitely recommend James locksmith to anyone who wants a fast and efficient service. 🔑🔐🙂

M. B.

M. P.

Not a great start to the day...locked out and all keys inside the house! The joys of a self closing fire door!! Contacted James, who was polite and informative! Confirmed price and expected arrival time...arrived on time and gained access to my house within 5 minutes! James even cut me a spare key! Price was very reasonable and service was great! Would highly recommend 👍 thanks James

L. R.

Stranded in a retail park with a mate and their broken key, I was searching online with about 20% battery left, royally panicking. Was recommended this guy by a garage.was cheaper than the other quotes and turned up earlier than expected. Friendly guy got the job done quick and properly saved the day! Would happily recommend him to others!

C. H.

I contacted James at 7am on a Sunday morning after my handle came off my front door (meaning I couldn't get in - after a night shift!!!) and he arrived very very quickly. He did a great job and even offered to hoover up after haha!!!!! 10/10 service and a pleasure to meet to him :)

A. L.

We needed 3 of our locks changing as an emergency late on a Friday night. James was efficient, polite and helpful. The job was done for a price that seemed very reasonable - thank you for making a stressful time easier to deal with!

C. C.

My keys were locked inside my car on Sunday during Christmas holidays in Cardiff. James arrived in 1 hour and saved my day. Very professional. I would definitely recommend his service

V. L.

Someone broke a key in my front door and I was locked out for two days. My estate agents were taking too long, the weekend came and they said they couldn't do anything. I called James and he came as quick as he could. He called me to say there was traffic so I wasn't waiting in the cold. (Really nice thing to do) He opened the door quickly, changed the lock and gave me three sets of a keys. The price was very good compared to other locksmiths. He was a nice guy, easy to talk to and I would recommend him to anyone who has a similar issue. Overall James was polite, professional and efficient.

B. H.

Great, prompt service for an emergency call-out on a Sunday morning. Arrived in about 20 mins, and whole job took less than an hour. Friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. Would definitely use again

O. D.

I got a new car which only came with one key so we approached James to get a new one cut. He was able to come down on the same day (Sunday evening) and sort that out for us! He even sorted me out with a flip key asppose to the standard that it came with. Very happy with the result and will definitely use James in the future.

R. B.

Gave James a call about a car key / ignition problem and he discussed the situation with me and was honest in saying I was probably best on this occasion going to a mechanic. I appreciate the honesty and him not trying to make a quick buck on a call out charge.

C. E.

got locked out after I left my keys in the door. Went out with my family then couldn't get back in. Husband then managed to broke his own key in the lock 🙈 Rang round a few locksmiths - James could get to us within 20 mins (others were more like 40) and offered a much more reasonable price (didn't automatically say that we would need a new lock, extra labour etc like the other rip off merchants). James came to the house within the time frame he had said and literally, after asking for ID, had us back in our house within less than 10 seconds. He then gave us some really useful security advice that we have been following since. Honest, reliable and efficient. I hope not to see James again (in that I hope not to get locked out again!) but would highly recommend.

A. F.

James was very efficient when we accidentally locked ourselves out of our room! He came within 15 minutes of our phone call on a tuesday evening for the cheapest price we had been quoted - about £100 cheaper! Although we hope to never lock ourselves out again, we know who to call if we do!

A. L.

Arrived an hour after calling, got the job done, no fuss or faff and fairly priced. Very friendly and clearly reliable. Would definitely recommend.

D. J.

James was actually recommended to us by another locksmith. We had a broken key jammed into one of our main outside doors so we called James on a Sunday. He came promptly, sorted the lock out in no time at all and was generally just a nice friendly guy. I would very much recommend him to friends and family.

G. H.

I needed to have the lock on my elderly father’s front door replaced urgently as the police had to force entry to rescue my father following a collapse. I was extremely pleased with the service I received, engineer was prompt, efficient and well priced. I would have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you for making a stressful situation a little better!

A. C.

Great service and excellent response. Surprisingly cheap considering the hassle involved. I had snapped off my key in the ignition and he patiently removed the key and cut me a new one on site within an hour. Also put the immobiliser in the new key for free. Highly recommend this business.

A. R.

Excellent Service.... I am very pleased with the service provided by James. He was very professional. We required a Locksmith very urgently and James was available immediately.. Very impressed with his patience in dealing the complex work and his customer service was brilliant.... Will sure go o James if required in future...

A. L.

Helped me replace locks on both front and rear doors in our new house by replacing the cylinders with broken screws. Highly recommend for the quality of work and responsiveness, James came to us on Sunday, 2 hours after I called him!

S. M.

After locking and then losing my key to my Transporter at bike park wales I was in a bit of a panic. It was also Sunday evening and I lived 6 hours away, I needed to get home desperately!

K. M.

James went out of his way for me, nearly midnight, out of the area he usually works and true to his word, set off and arrived in 30 minutes. Not only is James really polite, efficient and patient - having lost my bank card to add to the nightmare, he was comforting whilst I was crying on the phone. Thank you so much! I hope Ziggy doesn’t lock himself in the car again, but if he does I’ll be ringing you straight away.

T. S.

E. M.

I called James after locking myself out of my bedroom a few nights ago. He arrived within half an hour of me calling him and got my door open within seconds and all for a reasonable price. Very friendly and chatty and it really seemed no bother to be called out to unlock a bedroom door of all things! I will now be recommending James to all of my Cardiff friends!

A. Y.

I’m leaving the review right after this happened. 10pm Friday night I called James and within 20 minutes he’s here and the door is open. Prices are very reasonable for the service offered and he’s a really nice guy! Would definitely recommend to anyone in a pickle!

A. W.

Great service and worked around my availability. Very professional and was able to sort my problem quickly, highly recommend.

M. O.

I managed to get myself locked out of the house on a Sunday night and was worried I wouldn't be able to find anyone or would have to pay a huge fee. James arrived in 30 minutes, exactly when he said he'd get here and opened two locked doors within about 15 mins for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

C.

It was necessary for me to call James out twice in one week. Both times he was prompt, reliable, reasonable and couldn’t have been more pleasant or helpful. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone.

h. s.

Twice we have had to call James. First was 7.0 am Sunday morning as we were locked in our bedroom. He came 30 minutes later and opened the door for us and then replaced the lock with a new one. The second time we were suddenly unable to lock our front door and again he came promptly and fitted a new lock. We highly recommend him. Hugh Salmon. Cardiff

D. J.

Contacted James when I was locked in the house due to problems with my front door. Even though it was late in the evening, James was at my house within 15 minutes and worked quickly and effectively to get my door open and placed a temporary lock on my door. He came back promptly the next day to replace the fault and the door works perfectly. Highly recommended if you're looking for a locksmith!

E. D. K.

Called James as an emergency for a broken lock of a restaurant at 11pm on a Sunday night - we couldn't lock the front door - absolute nightmare.

K. D.

I called James enquiring about getting a new key cut for my sons car that we'd just bought which only had 1 key. Gave a response within the hour and when asked what his availability was over the next few days, he said that he would come straight over. How's that for service, on a Sunday evening as well !!!! Spent about an hour to sort the key and I must say that I'm more than happy with the result. As was my son as he now has a flash flip key instead of the standard key haha I'm more than happy to recommend James and have now stored his details for future use. First class service. 5 stars *****

Great service! No worries getting into the car without any visible damage. Much appreciated with speed of call out and a good price point to match. Would use again

C. H.

Super-fast, Super-professional, Super-Prices, Super-man. My lock failed so that my key would not turn, I'd called all the obvious names, who either didn't answer, or wanted you to jump through all maner of hoops to provide personal documentation (on the other side of that door), before they would attend. James from the start made the process simple. He was here well inside of his promised 30 minutes, If only I had called him first. I can't recommend him highly enough. I'll now pass his details to my landlord whom i am sure will find his service invaluable. If you are after an emergency Locksmith this is the company to call.

M. K.

Locked myself out my room at night and James was there within 15 minutes of me calling, had me back in my room in 2 minutes. Half the price usually charged at that time, so kind and professional and put up with me basically hyperventilating on the phone! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

H. S.

Managed to get a new key for my Dad's Proton Savvy car after the keys were lost. Other places declined to help because it was an unusual make not common in the UK any more. Turned up at the agreed time and was very helpful.

I. M.

Called James when accidentally locked my keys in my van. Came within 5 mins and got in for me straight away. Perfect service highly recommend. Thanks again.

J. C.

Car keys got locked in the boot at the service station. James was there withing minutes, on a Sunday. Very friendly, even offered to give me a lift back home (over half an hour away) to get the spare car keys, but no need in the end as he managed to get in with no damage to the car. Literally saved my mum's birthday weekend trip to see family. Great guy, thanks for the help!!

G. C.

What an immensely pleasant lad both James and his partner were. Both refered to me by my name rather than calling me mate and apologised if they had to disturb me or the family as they went out to the van. Jame's was very conscious that we had children and was meticulous in cleaning up after he had finished, he even left our broken door and lock working better than it ever had. Excellent service and will use James again should I need to. Thanks

E. B.

Locked ourselves out of the bedroom this evening, James arrived within 25 minutes of calling him at 10pm! Amazing service and a top guy. 100%, 5/5! will be recommending his services.

H.

He was an absolute legend and turned up within 15 mins of my call- I was locked out in my slippers in the freezing cold! Fixed it in 10 seconds! Great service will always recommend James!

A. V.

Brilliant locksmith. I'd snapped off my key in the lock, with no way of retrieving the key or replacing the lock myself. The problem lock was replaced within minutes of arriving with a good supply of new keys too! Overall quick efficient and very polite and friendly. A huge bonus was being able to pay by card! Would highly recommend.

K. G.

Great service! Very fast, trustworthy and great communication.

A. A.

Took literally 20 minutes to arrive at rush hour time as well, my car was running with the keys inside and there was no way of getting in, luckily James Locksmith was available and they sorted everything out within 5 minutes, and the best thing about it was that my windows stayed completely in tact, due to the fact that they picked the lock on my car. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS.

I am a student here at Cardiff from North Wales, on Wednesday night I was locked out of my house, the landlord wasn’t answering his phone and the other students I live with had gone home for the week therefore had no access to the house. I decided to contact a locksmith, the first locksmith I spoke to refused to help as he didn't have access to a vehicle, I then found James Cardiff Locksmith on google and decided to try him. He answered the phone right away and accepted my request, within half an hour he had arrived, got me into my house and changed the locks for me! Excellent service, very friendly and professional, would recommend to everyone! Thank you James!

M. K.

James came out at a time of my choosing and identified and rectified the problem I was having with locking my uPVC front door immediately. Thank you James you are a life saver! I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others :)

R. C.

They were super nice and funny, and when they were running a bit late, they discounted the price to reflect that without me asking them to. The service was well done and really quick. I'd never call anyone else.

J. G.

This guy is an absolute legend, I lost my car keys while at a wedding in St.Mellons. with no spare key. I rang him on a Sunday evening and fair play to him, he quoted a price up front met me on site 30 mins later and started working. He picked the lock in a few mins, but my cars transpondet code proved to be a nightmare to crack, and eventually needed the clocks removing from the dash... He stuck at it, and managed to program me a new remote key which he had cut on a machine in his van to fit. All in he must have been working for approx 2 hrs on a Sunday night, caused no damage to my car and gave me a functional VW remote key (all for just over £200). Which if you consider Timpsons will charge you £140 to just cut a spare key for you - James's price is very very fair compared. Would recommend this guy to anyone looking for a fast reliable service, at a reasonable price...10/10 and 5 stars

S. G.

James was proficient, professional, quick and polite, and undertook the task at hand, late at night in a very efficient manner. Would thoroughly recommend his services!!

James and Daniel have been superb. James came to us follwoing a forced entry burglary, he explained everything clearly and provided the various options available to me without any jargon. I felt that our best interest was always at the forefront of everything they did. They undertook the work to a very high standard and went over and above what I had inititaly contacted James to undertake. They were very clean, tidy and polite, I will certainly be recommending James Cardiff Locksmith to anyone in need of a reputable and honest locksmith. Thanks for everything, Huw Jones & family.

Rang James based on google recommendations and he said he would be here within the hour. Half an hour later he was here. He saved me a fortune by extracting the key in less than twenty minutes. Very friendly and helpful - can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks James x
