Excellent service from Grays Locksmiths. Our front door wouldn't lock, Danny came within 20 minutes and secured the door. A new lock was needed which they ordered and fitted within a few days. Would highly recommend if you need a locksmith you can trust in a hurry!

I was so pleased the first time that I booked in Gaz for a second job I needed doing. He turned up promptly at the time he said he would and did a good job very quickly. Very nice fellow and a credit to his company.
