We were recently away from home on holiday and were made aware that the lock on our front door wouldn't open, and it wasn't possible to get into our house. We messaged Max from holiday and he replied swiftly and agreed to be free around the time we were due to get home in case we needed a locksmith. We did need one! Max came round very quickly, talked us through the options and pricing upfront, and fixed the door quickly, there and then. We would highly recommend Max.

Max answered his phone immediately and was with us very quickly. He got us back in our house in no time and adjusted our door to get it working more smoothly. It seemed to be a very reasonable price as well. I would highly recommend him.

Max was great, he arrived quickly and was super friendly. He replaced the lock since it wasn't able to be picked. All of this took less than 30 mins! Great service! I am a very happy customer!

We had a problem with our backdoor, and the door would not lock. This was stressful and I called Max he gave me a time of an hour and he arrived on time. He gave me an indication as to how much it would coat and any changes he made me well aware and did not do and any work until I was happy and agreed to it. His work was excellent, his customer care was 5 star and his knowledge and advise was great. If you need someone to look at your locks Max is your man and we'll worth a call

We locked ourselves out of our house and Max responded very quickly. He resolved the issue (as well as explaining about the lock) very quickly, and was very friendly as well- it was like meeting a friend. His customer service is great and so is his service, and his prices too! Hopefully won't get locked out again but if we do we'll know who to call :)

Forgot my keys when I took the dog out for a walk, and was due to start work in half an hour. Looked for a locksmith and found Max's details and gave him a call. Only had to wait about 10 mins, was expecting a lot longer. He popped the lock (after checking on ID), fitted a new one (which was better than the old one), and was very quick and efficient. Considering everything the price was pretty good and he was a pleasant guy to deal with, plus my dog liked him. Saved me in a jam and would highly recommend.

Max came round to help out as I had lost my back door keys to my house. I felt really comfortable with him and he was very professional as well as being able to help in a timely manner. Max talked me through different locking mechanisms and I decided I wanted to upgrade my locks. Max explained this clearly and I have felt much more secure at home since. I would highly recommend him.

A very fast and professional response from Max, a full explanation and fix of the problem door - so much clear information on what the problem was and how/when it could happen again that I almost feel half a locksmith myself now. Plus Max also fixed another door that others had given up on. Many thanks Max
