I left my keys in the door by mistake, which were then stolen by my next door neighbours (I live on a not-very-nice estate) but the police couldn't do anything as I had no proof. I discovered this after I woke in the middle of the night to hear the key being turned in the lock and the pattering of feet in my hallway. I was taking my son to a festival at 8am that morning so I had to get a locksmith during the night. I phoned Saif and he came at 6.30am as promised and completed the work very quickly and efficiently. His charged was comparable to what another person had quoted me but who had sounded decidedly unreliable over the phone. He was very kind and tried to replace the locks on the gate too for an extra tenner but didn't have compatible locks for these.

Absolutely brilliant! After being told by another locksmith that the door was rubbish and beyond repair, I called and spoke to Junior. He came round when I got home from work and sorted the door out quickly. What a star! Will definitely recommend ideal-locks.Co.Uk to friends and family. A number for my mobile for sure! Thanks again.

He also fitted a new lock to make my door more secure and was very careful to ensure the lock was fitted properly. He took his time and clearly cared about doing a good job.

Very professional and came within set time. I was extremely stressed after being locked out and faced with a gazillion entries under locksmiths in the phone book, I did not know where to turn. Then I spotted the magic checkatrade logo and I felt sure I would be okay with them. Luckily I was proved right and was back in my home within an hour of being locked out! Highly recommended for efficiency, friendlyservice and value for money.
