    Lock Repair

    Posted 6 days ago

    Repair to front door locking mechanism

    Ivo replied instantly to me posting the job on Checkatrade and arranged to come round the next day. Communication regarding the job was excellent, Ivo arrived promptly and was very thorough in ensuring the mechanism was repaired, which required a small alteration, and he also realigned the door slightly to ensure the lock was smoother than before. I would highly recommend him.

    Friendly professional and prompt. Good job done

    This is the first time that I have had to use a locksmith and I was a bit apprehensive as you hear of so many scams. The apprehension was unnecessary, Ivo was prompt friendly and totally professional. He knew exactly what was wrong with the lock and repaired my door in no time. Well done Ivo I would definitely recommend you . Thank you
