    Emergency Locksmith Service

    Posted 17 October

    Great job

    Brilliant work. John was very clear when he would arrive, then just did a fab job. Where other locksmiths would have probably given up and gone destructive, John "teased" the lock open - then delicately adjusted the rebate to ensure it would never happen again. A first class job. I'd get him round again, unquestionably

    Doors Opened / Unlocked

    Posted 26 August

    Fast Efficient and Friendly

    An internal bolt on our front door broke, with the door closed. For a lay person like me, it looked like it was going to be difficult to resolve as there was no gap between the door and the frame. John used his knowledge and experience to resolve the problem in a matter of minutes. John was helpful and friendly, he also offered us some advice on our other locks. I would highly recommend.
