What Long Eaton Customers Say About Max
Real reviews from real jobs across Long Eaton and the NG10 area.
“The multipoint mechanism had failed on our door, locking us out. Max sent a locksmith the same day — he opened the door without any damage to the door or frame, removed the broken system and replaced it with a new lock. Highly recommend.”
“Superb service! Really fast response in an emergency. Fixed a front door handle. A really reasonable price for repairs and parts. Highly recommend!”
“Ian came to the house within 1.5 hours of the call. Worked efficiently, was very polite and explained everything clearly. And a 5-year warranty on the new lock. Would recommend.”
“Had a few problems with bifold doors, including the lock. Rang Max on a Saturday morning and they came out same day. Problem now all sorted — really pleased with the workmanship, and the area was kept clean and tidy.”
“I called Max on Sunday after a door developed a fault due to being misaligned. Within 45 minutes Ian arrived and fixed the problem in no time, friendly and professional while also giving advice. A great service.”

Common questions about locks, doors, windows and call-outs in Long Eaton.
Costs & Pricing
How much does a locksmith cost in Long Eaton?
Most lock repairs in Long Eaton are a flat £85 labour charge plus parts, with a clear price agreed before any work begins — no call-out fee and no surcharge for evenings or weekends. You’ll always know the cost up front.
Do you charge a call-out fee in NG10?
No. Max never charges a call-out fee anywhere in Long Eaton or the wider NG10 area. You only pay for the work done and any parts fitted.
How quickly can you get to Long Eaton in an emergency?
Max covers Long Eaton and NG10 daily, so most emergency call-outs are reached quickly — usually within around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Call or WhatsApp for a realistic time.
Lock Repairs & Replacement
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a door lock?
In most cases repairing is cheaper. A worn cylinder, sticking mortice lock or multipoint mechanism can often be repaired on the first visit. Max will tell you honestly which makes sense.
Can you change all the locks after I move into a new house?
Yes — a full lock change is one of Max’s most common jobs in Long Eaton, on both the older terraces and newer estates. He supplies and fits replacement cylinders, mortice locks and full lock sets, including anti-snap upgrades.
My mortice lock is stiff and hard to turn — is that a problem?
It’s usually an early sign the lock is wearing or the door has dropped on its hinges. Caught early, Max can often service or repair it.
uPVC & Composite Doors
My uPVC door won’t lock when I lift the handle — can you fix it?
Yes — one of the most common jobs Max sees across Long Eaton. It usually means the multipoint mechanism or a locking point has failed. Max carries mechanisms and parts in the van.
Can you repair a patio or sliding door that’s dropped?
Yes. Sliding and patio doors often drop or stick as the rollers wear. Max realigns them, replaces worn rollers and repairs the mechanism.
Do you work on the older terraces in Long Eaton?
Yes. The Victorian terraces often have timber doors and mortice locks. Max repairs and upgrades these, keeping the character while bringing security up to standard.
Window Repairs
Can you fix a window that won’t lock or stay shut?
Yes. Failed window locks, snapped handles, worn espagnolette mechanisms and dropped friction hinges are all common — Max repairs uPVC and aluminium windows across NG10. Usually far cheaper than a whole new window.
My window handle has snapped — can you just replace the handle?
Yes. In most cases the handle, espag mechanism or hinges can be replaced individually. Max carries common window hardware in the van.
Security & Insurance
Do you fit anti-snap locks for insurance in Long Eaton?
Yes. Many Long Eaton homes have insurers asking for anti-snap, British Standard (BS3621) or TS007 3-star cylinders. Max supplies and fits them and advises on what meets your policy.
Do you fit smart locks and keypad entry in Long Eaton?
Yes. Max fits keypad and smart locks for homes, rentals and businesses across NG10, advising on which models are genuinely secure.
What should I do if my key snapped in the lock?
Don’t force the broken piece — call Max. He’ll extract the snapped key and repair or replace the lock as needed.
Emergencies & Lockouts
Can you help if I’m locked out of my house at night?
Yes — Max runs a genuine 24/7 emergency service across Long Eaton. Call directly and Max will get to you, gain entry and sort the lock, with no extra charge for nights, weekends or bank holidays.
Landlords, Rentals & Commercial
Do you do lock changes for landlords and rentals?
Yes. With Long Eaton’s rental housing, Max does lock changes between tenancies, master-key setups and planned maintenance for landlords, with invoicing and certificates.
Can you handle locks for shops around the Market Place?
Yes. Max does commercial lock work for the shops and businesses around Long Eaton Market Place — lock changes, repairs, master keys and out-of-hours call-outs.
Credentials & Guarantee
Are you insured and DBS checked?
Yes. Max is fully insured and DBS checked, with a 12-month warranty on the work. You’re dealing directly with Max — not a national call centre — so you know exactly who’s coming to your home.
Doors, Windows & Smart Locks
Do you repair uPVC doors in Long Eaton?
Yes — Long Eaton is covered daily. Mechanisms, multipoint mechanisms, handles, hinges and alignment on uPVC doors are fixed in one visit at £85 + parts + VAT, quoted before Max sets off. Full symptom-by-symptom detail on the uPVC door repairs page.
Can you fix a composite door in Long Eaton?
Yes. Sticking and swollen doors, dropped hinges, bowed slabs and deadlocked mechanisms on Solidor, Rockdoor, Door-Stop and other composite doors are almost always repairable — the slab itself rarely fails. See the composite door repairs guide.
Do you fit smart locks in Long Eaton?
Yes — certified, multipoint-compatible units only (Conexis, Ultion Nuki, Avia and proven keypads), always with an insurance-grade cylinder behind them. Installation is £120 + lock + VAT with the alignment check included — details on the smart lock installation page.
Do you fix window locks and mechanisms in Long Eaton?
Everywhere we cover doors, we cover windows — seized espag mechanisms, tired friction hinges, snapped handles and windows that won’t lock or shut, all carried in the van at the same £85 + parts + VAT visit. See window repairs.
