What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out near the market hall with two bags of shopping. He arrived in about 18 minutes, had the door open in moments and helped me in with the bags. Sound as a pound.
-
New locks at our terrace in Hurst after the previous tenant's keys never came back. Anti-snap cylinders fitted, keyed alike, invoice straight to the agent. Painless.
-
uPVC door in Waterloo dropped over winter and stopped locking. Engineer realigned it and replaced the worn gearbox in under an hour. £115 with the part — like a new door.
-
Break-in through the back while I was on shift. They boarded it that night, fitted stronger locks next day and rang later in the week to check on us. Genuinely decent people.
-
Key snapped in the front door before the tram into town. Out within 40 minutes, broken key extracted and a new cylinder fitted for £99. Quick, cheerful and tidy.
