Garry Collins locksmith came to a job mine 1 hour after I called. I needed several different job's done in a building of rented office so it needed inspecting first. He explained that he had some of the locks in his van and could make a start and return the following day and complete the job as it was 3.30pm . The following day Garry turned up as arranged 8.0am . All in all 15 locks converted. This was not an emergency but the time keeping and information received was very professional. Will use again and recommend.
