The Tinker LLC is a one-person handyman, locksmith and hardware business run out of 452 W River Rd in Hooksett, New Hampshire, self-described on Thumbtack as an engineer and fabricator with about seven years in business. Customers across two platforms consistently praise fast, careful work: reviewers on HomeAdvisor going back to 2022 describe him as responsive, quick, fair-priced and thorough on door and lock jobs β including a theater security-gate install β while more recent Thumbtack reviews from 2026 praise fast, accurate diagnosis on small-engine and appliance repairs, with one customer saying they'd have gladly paid more than the roughly $45-60 he charged. Furniture assembly and general handyman projects round out the work reviewers mention. He holds a 5.0-star rating from 4 HomeAdvisor reviews and a 4.7-star rating from 65 Thumbtack ratings, and passed a Thumbtack background check. His HomeAdvisor listing states he offers free estimates and emergency service. Reviews span 2022 through 2026, so it's worth confirming current availability directly. He's a solid call for door, lock, small-appliance and general handyman jobs around Hooksett β worth asking what else he covers given the breadth of skills listed across both profiles.

I hired The Tinker to install my new front door. He was very considerate, worked really hard and did a great job installing my new front door. He was very responsive during the week prior to starating the job. I would hire him again. Definitely. Very reasonable price, too! Thank you!
Tinker is hands down the BEST technician I've ever hired. Don't waste your time calling local shops that make you schedule weeks out, haul your machine in, keep it for a month, and then charge more than it's worth. Save yourself the headache and call this guy. He is AMAZING. He showed up right on time, diagnosed the issue, and fixed it in under 20 minutes. He only charged $45. I gave him $60, and honestly I would have paid $75 if I had it on me. Top notch service, comes right to your door, and no hassle at all. Highly recommend. Thank you!!!
Quick to diagnose the problem and order replacement part. Totally satisfied and would work with again.
He did a great job with all projects and very easy to work with. We'll be requesting his services again! I would highly recommend him.
Very knowledgeable and easy to book an appointment with. Fixed my broken machine with no hassles and great value. Would certainly use again for any other appliances I need to repair.
