Excellent service. Got me out of a tight spot when the key to our post box broke. Tried a few other key brand name cutters first and hit a complete dead end. Quick call to Exeter Locksmiths, popped by after sending in a couple of pics and got a professional easy and quick outcome and a new set of keys and the post! Very friendly and helpful service. I now know where to whenever I need a locksmith or new keys cut!

Excellent. Went to 2 key cutters previously that wouldn't/couldn't cut my car key. This place done it straight away, no problem. Perfect
