Upgrade to CCTV
We have been using this company for approx 8/9 years now for Emergency call out, Alarm and CCTV installation and service on 2 different properties. The guys are always polite,friendly,courteous and tidy. They spend time to explain everything to you and very competent at what they do. We have just upgraded our CCTV to full HD HIC-Vision giving a much better quality and improved night time vision. Have no hesitation in recommending Locks and Alarms Ltd.
Locks and Alarms were recommended to me and I would also recommend them. They are incredibly courteous and professional. Jon came round promptly to assess my needs, patiently listened and answered all my questions, and he also gave me his recommendation. He sent through the quote quickly and the job was booked in and the installation went smoothly and completed on time. They consult and explain things all they way through the process, and in general just lovely people as well. Thank you Locks and Alarms.
Replacement door handles and a new CCTV power supply unit.
During the last twenty years, I have periodically used the services of Locks and Alarms Ltd, for large jobs and small. I have always received great service and excellent workmanship. Neil and his sons are always polite, helpful and respectful when in and around my home. Whatever my requirements have been; Locks and Alarms Ltd have offered honest advice at reasonable prices. I will always recommend Locks and Alarms Ltd, to my family and friends.
We have used locks and alarms for many years now and recently had a new alarm system fitted. Work was completed efficiently and we were talked through the new system until we all understood how it worked. Always a great service and always available to schedule in services around us.
We have used Locks and Alarms, a family business, for several years now and cannot praise them highly enough for both their customer service and the quality of their work. They go above and beyond to ensure that the customer is provided with the right product for their needs and always ensure that the customer is comfortable using the product. They always very promptly respond to phone calls leaving the customer confident that their queries will be quickly responded to.
Jon and Craig did a marvellous job. They were conscientious and thorough at every stage. They cleared up after their work and even touched up the paint on the exterior pebbledash for us after removing an old defunct alarm box. The products are fantastic, with amazing technology, but at the same time user friendly. Jon and Craig explained clearly and thoroughly how everything worked when the installation was finished. Throughout the work they were friendly and chatty and really easy going - two of the nicest guys you could wish to meet. A great all-round experience using this company.
Installation of 8 channel recorder and 5 CCTV cameras
As always, Jon and Craig (and a special guest appearance by their dad today :0)) were impeccable from start to finish. The final bill was exactly as estimated, the quality of the work was 1st class (all wiring and cabling was put behind gutters which the boys removed and put back on, recorder unit attached to wall and minimal disruption throughout the job), the tidiness and care that they put into every job shone through on this occasion also. I cannot recommend Locks n Alarms enough for any of your locksmith or security needs.
We have used Locks and Alarms for many, many years and they are a great family firm - always courteous, punctual and tidy. It doesn't matter who you speak to - Neil, Jon or Craig - we trust their advice. Their expertise is second to none. Always a pleasure to see them when they visit for new work or servicing. Thank you.

How much does a burglar alarm cost?
The price depends on the size of your property, the number of doors and windows to protect, wired or wireless equipment, and whether you want app control or monitoring. We give honest fixed-price quotes after a free visit, so the figure reflects your property rather than a price list.
What happens during a free quote visit?
An engineer visits your property, walks the entry points with you, listens to what you need and recommends a system. You then receive a written fixed-price quote. There is no obligation and no pressure; several Checkatrade reviewers mention the no-pressure approach.
Who actually turns up to do the work?
Our own employed, DBS-checked engineers, never subcontractors. Checkatrade reviewers name the same family across two decades of jobs, and describe trusting them in their homes for 13 and even 20 years.
Do you charge monthly fees for CCTV?
No monthly cloud-recording fees. Your footage records to your own equipment and you view it from your phone. We explain any optional extras in the written quote before you commit to anything.
How long has Locks & Alarms been trading?
Locks & Alarms Ltd was established in 1999 and incorporated on 19 August 2002 (Companies House no. 04514634). It is family-run, and reviewers describe using the firm for 13 and even 20 years.
