What Our Customers Say

Locked out of the front door of our DE1 Edwardian terrace at 10pm. Engineer came out from central Derby, opened it in 8 minutes without any drilling. £69 paid by card.

Charlotte N. Emergency lockout
Front door upgrade after our neighbour got broken into. Old 3-lever mortice replaced with a 5-lever BS3621 plus a snap-resistant cylinder. £189 the pair.

Owen R. Lock change
Snapped a key in our old front door mortice. Engineer extracted it cleanly, oiled the lock, said it was good for years yet. £75 for a quick visit.

Sophie A. Key extraction
Burglary attempt on our Edwardian terrace, the chisel marks were obvious around the cylinder. Engineer fitted a Diamond grade anti-snap and showed me where to add reinforcement. Solid advice.
