Excellent & fast service
Excellent service. My lock was broken, I didn’t even know what type of lock it was and Paul was kind enough to come over straight away to fix it, without making me feel foolish for not being able to describe the problem. Amazing service, I would highly recommend. Save his number to your phone, you never know when you might need a decent, trustworthy locksmith!Verified reviewerJob location: BH1410 Locksmith
