To fit a lock in a cavity that was initially dug out by another locksmith
Nick responded to my request incredibly promptly and efficiently. Despite a hole having already been cut into the door by another locksmith, he managed to find the perfect-sized lock and fit it seamlessly. He was professional, respectful of my home, and made sure the work area was kept neat and tidy throughout. His pricing was also very reasonable, which made the whole experience even better. What impressed me most was that everything, from my initial contact to the completed job, was done in less than three hours! Amazing service from start to finish — prompt, professional, reasonably priced and reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Nick again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy locksmith!Job location: SW18RKarin K9 Lock Fitting

Replacing front bad back door barrels / cartridges
Nick was the first to call me when I posted the job up. He was quick to turn up and do the job of replacing the door barrels. As a bonus he also serviced the locks and movements to make sure they were all locking correctly. Thank youJob location: SM2RAhsan K
