    Quality workmanship

    Posted 22 April

    I can highly recommend Dan if you need locks changed. He is very prompt to respond and arrange a visit. We had 4 locks changed and a gate lock fitted. Dan consulted us throughout to make sure we were happy with the locks, we had to make a few tweaks to door seals and it was great that Dan checked in first. The quality of work is very high standard. Glad we chose Skeleton Key Locksmith.

    Highly recommend

    Posted 24 March

    I would highly recommend Dan. He responded to my request quickly and was able to come out the same day even though it wasn’t an urgent job. His quote was competitive and his communication was great. He was friendly, professional and efficient. I couldn’t have asked for any more.

    Lock fitting

    Posted 25 January

    Dan responded quickly to our job request and was informative about the types of locks required once pictures were sent. He communicated well throughout, did a great job, explained the differences in locks, and was generally professional and pleasant. Would highly recommend, and would go to Skeleton Key Locksmith for any future jobs.

    Went above and beyond!

    Posted 01 December 2025

    I had an appointment on the same day (only a couple of hours after I realised I was locked out) I desperately needed to attend to so I was urgently ringing lots of local locksmiths who said that they could attend but wouldn’t be until the evening. I found Dan online and he far exceeded my expectations. Dan understood the need for urgency with this situation and attended as soon as he could, he even got me out of the house with enough time to still attend my appointment. Dan was knowledgeable, professional and extremely efficient- the best tradesman I’ve ever had come to sort an issue!

    My broken door mechanism

    Posted 26 November 2025

    I think that Dan rescheduled his day to fit my job in. Great communication, prompt attendance and he did a great job.
