    Brilliant Service

    Posted 19 July

    They showed up at the time they promised. Opened our locked door without any harm. I hope I don’t need them anymore but if I do, they are the guys you can trust.

    Quick to arrive, professional and careful.

    Posted 17 July

    Chris said he would arrive within the hour but arrived in half an hour. He worked hard to get the door open without any damage and when after trying for a while to pick the lock he used a different method. Very impressed with his professionalism and care and the price was what he quoted me on the phone.

    He does the best he can - able to adapt for a good solution

    Posted 16 July

    The operative was very helpful and friendly. He had to come to us 3 times in total, but he was very good and efficient. It turns out our door isn't a standard size, so it threw up more problems than expected. Chris did a very good job under the circumstances and I would recommend him.
