    Excellent job

    Ivo was very helpful to my needs and was out in very good time. Locked myself out of my house and he got me back in very quickly.

    Lock Repair

    Thumb lock change

    Gave me a call and told me how much straight away. Said he would be there within the hour. But got here in about 20 minutes. Came in changed the lock within 10 minutes and was done. Tried and tested all good 5 keys supplied so had enough to give spares to family.
