I cannot recommend A Short Locksmith enough. Mikey was so helpful from the very beginning. I needed a new lock for my rental property on the same day, and Mikey came out and repaired the door as best he could within the hour, which at least meant the door could be locked (which it couldn't before). Mikey then ordered a part and returned back to complete the repair a few days later. Mikey's communication was really good throughout and constantly kept me updated before going ahead and completing any extra work that needed doing. A brilliant service.Verified reviewerJob location: ME1510 Lock replaced

We needed to replace our external 5 lever mortice locks with thumb turn escape locks. We contacted Mikey and he responded quickly to give us advice and a quotation. The locks supplied are excellent and just what we wanted. The work entailed several trips and nothing was too much trouble. Mikey couldn’t be more friendly and helpful and we can’t recommend him highly enough if you need a locksmith for a very reasonable price. We have since asked him back to replace the door furniture on another door. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: TN17
