Checkatrade support libellous report on locksmith
I find it incredible reading the reviews that someone can go from receiving so many high scores, so many tens to go to zero, what did he do? Kidnap her children? I can’t believe you gave any thought whatsoever to publishing this report. It’s obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse something stinks here and you never questioned this review, what did the locksmith have to say or did you just totally disregard his comments and hang him out to dry? One lady praises his integrity and you honestly believe the person she praised could become the person written about in this report?

Smart lock installation
The first time he was there 6 hours, and called out a second time to fix what he had done. He was paid cash and still have not received an invoice, next day I had to get out an emergency locksmith that cost me £320 as it would not close at all, and is a business premises. The mechanism of the door had been drilled through, side bars of the door were also broken, The springs had been drilled through inside the lock and all needed replacing. New lock is snapped inside and useless. I am now £610 down because of this.Verified reviewerJob location: DH48 Lock Fitting

locks on front and back doors
I was very pleased with the integrity of this locksmith. He only charged me for the finished job although he spent some time trying to work out what was wrong. It looked like it was going to cost a lot, but it ended up being very reasonable. I would recommend this business.Verified reviewerJob location: DH99.5 Lock Repair

Replacing two locks on front and side door
Msg late at night to ask if I could lock my door that night. Came round on the bank holiday Monday at a time of my choice and replaced both locks. Great job done and value for money. Would definitely recommend theVerified reviewerJob location: DH3
