Weve never used a locksmith before but after doing some research online reading various reviews we came across Andrew from Fortify Locksmiths and thought we would call him. What a lovely person this gentleman is. He was really professional and very knowledgeable and very good at explaining things and takes his business seriously. He also doesnt take your eyes out at charging ridiculous prices. I had two windows which kept getting stuck when opening/closing which Andrew informed me needed new hinges but he didnt think it was a major problem as they still worked and could be replaced sometime
