Professional and friendly service. No hidden charges so reliable and genuine. I had a new lock withinm 10 minutes and 5 keys. My doors were adjusted despite this being not part of the original quote. I would highly recommend this company

Great service and communication from Craig yesterday. He not only fixed the problem with our front door lock but diagnosed and fixed what has caused it, plus he rectified faults left by the original installers. Top job. Very happy we can now close the door easily with no leaks and get the doormat back into place.
