What Our Customers Say

Locked out of my Roath terrace at half past midnight after the front door slammed shut behind me. The engineer rolled up in 19 minutes, picked the lock without a scratch on the paint, and charged £59 flat.

James R. Emergency lockout
Replaced both euro cylinders on a CF14 rental ahead of new tenants moving in. Anti-snap, BS3621 rated, with three keys cut on site. £169 for the pair which was fair.

Rachel P. Lock change
Dropped a £15 keyring inside the lock somehow and wedged the mechanism. Engineer took the cylinder apart, fished the bits out, put it all back together for £69.

Daniel O. Key extraction
Rear door in Canton was forced over the weekend. Frame splintered, lock destroyed. They replaced the full multipoint, repaired the timber and got us secure within three hours of the call.
