Brilliant Service.. highly recommended.
What a brilliant service by Paul this morning. I phoned Paul about a really old ornate lock on my front door as it wasn’t working. Paul straight away asked for photos and looked into trying to source a new lock for me. Within a day he came round and helped me with the lock.. he was very polite, really professional and knowledgeable, down to earth and friendly. My lock is all working now and I would definitely recommend Paul to family, friends and neighbours 100%. I will definitely be contacting Paul again with any Locksmith issues. Thank you again PaulVerified reviewerJob location: BH1210 Doors Opened / Unlocked

Safe quick and reliable
I couldn’t be happier with the speed of response to an emergency and the standard of work. There was a leak of water in my property and I was away so the plumber couldn’t gain access. DAL came straight away and gained access for the plumber with no damage to my 2 locks. They also were very professional checking my id and that the home was mine. I fully recommend them .Verified reviewerJob location: BH1410 Locksmith

Highly recommended locksmith
Paul was giving great service from the very first few messages before carrying out any work. He gave me a few options and quotes, and all work carried out has been to a high standard. I will certainly be keeping his details to hand for any future work to be carried out. Highly recommended - ✅Job location: BH1810 Lock Fitting
