  • Three locks changed after we lost a set of keys somewhere between Purley station and home. All BS3621 cylinders, matching keys across all three doors. Sensible price.
    Michael T. Lock change
  • Burglary attempt on our Victorian terrace, the chisel marks were obvious. They reinforced the frame, fitted a new anti-snap, and gave proper advice on a London Bar. Solid work.
