    Lost keys, Tony saved me!

    Posted 02 February

    Tony was so professional he turned up when he said he would and was able to programme me a new key with no problems at all. He talked me through the prices and explained what he was doing. He really made me feel at ease. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Completely independent locksmith working in Cardiff and the surrounding areas for 35 years, concentrating on domestic, commercial and car auto locksmithing. What makes me stand out from the competition is my length of experience coupled with my reasonable pricing. Customers can be reassured that I haven't just been on a weekend training course, they are dealing with a pair of skilled hands that have pretty much seen and repaired everything in the last 35 years.

I have an enviable record of non-destructive methods when gaining entry to houses, I am able to pick British Standard Mortice locks and cylinders and pride myself on finding solutions where other locksmiths have failed.

5 great reasons why you should consider Tony's Locksmith first.

1. I am one of the most competitively priced locksmiths in South Wales for domestic and car locksmithing. The reason I can offer better prices is because I don't have the overheads like larger companies. I am a small independent locksmith with no premises, rates or wages to pay. It's just me and my van which allows me to offer the customer the best possible price.

2. I have over 1,600 five-star reviews over platforms such as Yell, CheckaTrade and Google. I pride myself on great customer service, nothing is too much trouble, and I will always go the extra mile to find a solution. For the rare times when things do go wrong, we can offer a guarantee on your locks. We offer 12 months on a new house lock. Parts and labour. And from 3 months on a car key depending on the manufacturer.

3. I am fully DBS checked and insured - trusted by government services and agencies, Cardiff Council, large and small retailers alike as well as doctors' surgeries and schools.

4. For the 3rd year in a row I have been awarded top three best locksmiths in Cardiff.

5. I am a local man, based in Cardiff, customers can be assured that when they call Tony, I personally answer the phone and will be attending the job. I know the area well and my response times are far better than a large company who covers much larger areas.

So, what's my story?

I started work at 16 as a YTS key cutter and repairing locks. Two years later I was confident enough to open my own shop in Clifton St Cardiff, soon followed by a second shop in Crwys Rd and finally a successful key cutting and repair shop in Albany Rd. In 2000 I made the decision to move away from the shops and concentrate on a mobile unit serving Cardiff and beyond. I started off in a little blue Doblo van, specializing in general locksmithing and programming of car keys from my vehicle. Over the years I have developed my skills with further training, passing advanced courses with companies such Hickleys, 3D Group and Trade Locks. Along with investment in the latest machinery and software as well as a bigger and better equipped van, this has enabled me to supply and program car keys on the roadside as well as the day-to-day domestic work. Looking to the future we hope to continue serving Cardiff, The Vale and the Valleys, developing new skills and staying on top of future technology.
