Not just locks
A very helpful man who completed 3 jobs efficiently. Replacing hinges on a garage door was time consuming as he had to take the door off to measure accurately, then replace the door, order the hinges and return to fit them. All with a smile. Great service.Verified reviewerJob location: BH20Response from South Dorset Locksmiths
Thank you.
