Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
Locked out in AL1 around midnight after the kids' birthday party. Locksmith arrived in 22 minutes, picked the lock open, no surcharge for the hour. Bill exactly as quoted.
uPVC mechanism gone on the back door in Harpenden. Engineer same morning, replacement gearbox on the van, sorted in 40 minutes. Polite, tidy, warranty card with the invoice.
Came in from work and tried to lock the front door near the cathedral and the key snapped clean off in the cylinder. Bit panicked because we were heading out and didn't want to leave the door unlocked overnight. Phoned around 7pm and they were on the doorstep in 25 minutes. He got the broken half out, fitted a new euro cylinder and the door was working again before 8. Fair price for a Friday evening callout and three keys cut on the spot.
