    Emergency Locksmith Service

    Posted 1 week ago

    Would use them again.

    Was unable to lock patio doors from the inside. Ray turned up and quickly solved the problem by rehanging one of the doors. Reasonably priced. 5 stars!

    Reliable and effective!

    Would definitely recommend and use again. Called yesterday evening and they agreed to come out first thing in the morning. Ray arrived on time, identified the problem and sorted it out quickly whilst giving me a clear explanation of what he needed to do. 20 mins later the door was fixed! Polite and friendly service!
