I called Steve the day before we were scheduled to complete on a house to enquire about getting the locks changed. He kindly fit me in the next day and changed all of the locks at my new house. He also fixed a lock that was broken. He was very friendly and did great work. I was impressed with his service and would highly recommend him.

Turned up ridiculously quick to help me out of hours when I locked my car keys in the garage. It was about 20 minutes from my initial call to having my problem solved, and they were really nice about it. Totally recommend!!

Steve arrived on time and diagnosed the problem quickly and explained what was required and how much it would cost. Steve had all the necessary parts and was able to carry out the work there and then. Steve was very tidy and thorough and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Steve

Very efficient service. Steve went out of his way to fit us in as our front door lock had broken. He arrived on time, communicated well and gave some great advice on locking the door correctly. Steve worked quickly and kept everything tidy and we now have a much better door handle at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you.
