    broken key in lock of mahogany writing bureau

    Posted 4 days ago

    The key broke in the lock of my mahogany writing bureau. I was in despair but then found A M Locksmiths. I spoke to Michael who arrange to call out. He came out today and was very prompt. Within minutes the lock was open. Incredible, I was so, so pleased. I would have no hesitation in recommending A M Locksmiths to anyone.

    Lock replacement

    Posted 28 March

    Lock in our door had broken so we couldn’t access garden. With a young puppy, this was far from ideal. Michael offered a free consultation to identify the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. He managed to open the door and replace with a temporary lock (the gearbox was a more awkward type so had to order in a specific part). Once the part had arrived, he repaired the door speedily and professionally. He ensures perfection in his work before leaving the site. He is a very friendly, knowledgeable professional and I would recommend AM Locksmiths to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much.

    Locks fitted in our first home

    Posted 28 February

    A. M. was great from first call offering useful, practical advice. He talked us through what the best solutions were for our house. He turned up punctually for the quote, got the work turned around quickly and effectively. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to carry out similar work.
