Absolutely brilliant job! Greg managed to open double glazed french doors with a broken lock using specialist equipment. He replaced the main lock and then found the lower lock was bent and even though hard to find managed to source a new one online. Fitted both locks and adjusted the door to shut properly. Very professional. Would happily recommend to family and friends.

Report
The door was no longer deadlockable as it had dropped over 18 months since installation. Called Greg as I've used him before when I locked myself out. Phoned him just before midday and although it wasn't urgent he arrived 4.30ish and sorted the door within 15 mins. Very knowledgeable and gave me good advice on maintaining the door and lock. Highly recommended. Seaford local.
