I contacted the Emergency Locksmith 24 and they were extremely helpful right from the start. They provided me with a quick appointment and showed up on time ready to do the job. They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.
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.
Came home to Oxhey at 11pm and the key wouldn't turn in the Euro cylinder. Engineer arrived in 22 minutes, got me in without drilling, and only replaced the cylinder once he'd shown me why it had failed. Honest and quick.
uPVC back door in Bushey had stopped locking after years of slowly dropping on its hinges. Lad out same morning, replaced the gearbox and realigned the door properly. Works again, fair price, written warranty.
Booked them in for a full lock change on a let in Garston between tenants — we'd had problems with previous occupants holding onto keys and we wanted everything fresh before the new family moved in. Three cylinders done in 45 minutes, two keys per lock cut on the doorstep, invoice straight through to the managing agent. No hassle from start to finish, and we've already put them in the diary for the next changeover.
