Report
My front door jammed and wouldn't open or lock. I called first thing Monday morning and was seen the same day. A temporary fix was done and 3 days later a brand new locking mechanism and barrel were fitted and the door working perfectly. I couldn't fault the standard of work, the speed in which it was done in and the professionalism!

Organised to have a key-safe installed. Nick made the experience as quick as possible, bringing his own tools and allowing me to choose my own combination. Would recommend his services to anyone.
