What neighbours say about David
Most new customers come from a neighbour, a neighbourhood watch group or another trade. Read every review on Google and Trustpilot.
Dave is an absolute legend. Went above and beyond to fix my door. Highly recommend.
Knowing that finding a qualified locksmith can be like the wild west we asked our neighborhood watch for recommendations. Accredited Locksmiths were recommended by three people. David was a true professional and spent over two hours sorting out quite a complex issue with our door lock.
This company was recommended to me by Timpsons. Booked an appointment, arrived on time and carried out the work quickly and efficiently.
Common questions
Will you damage my door?
Usually not. Most doors can be opened without damage. If drilling is the only option, we explain why first and fit a new lock.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. We ask for ID with your address, a utility bill or a neighbour who can vouch for you. A good locksmith always checks.
My key snapped in the lock. Can you help?
Yes. We can extract the broken key and, if the cylinder is damaged, replace it with a new one cut to new keys.
Are you a 24-hour locksmith?
No. We work 7 days a week, 8am to 6pm. We would rather tell you that honestly than pass your job to a stranger at night.
