Our patio door would not lock after being reinstalled by a double glazing company who had tried to repair it but failed. We contacted Maidstone Locksmiths he came the same day at the appointed time and repaired the lock for a very reasonable price I have given the repair two week to see if it is still working correctly and it is as good as new. Would have no hesitation in contacting them again if any of our locks failed or we should need a emergency repair. Very polite and professional

Front door had given up and was refusing to work anymore. Called John and even at short notice he was able to come over fairly quickly. While here he identified the issue and came up with a solution within minutes. Professional and well priced. Would definitely call him again if I had another lock issue. Many thanks.
