Highly recommended. On time and very professional. Thought it was a broken gear box and they could have easily done the job and charged but Jason found the problem and managed to rectify all in a hours job.

Really pleased with the work Mark and the team did to help us change some locks in our new property. Super efficient and really took the time to care for our doors; especially one that was sealed shut! Highly recommend and will use them again in future.

Report
Embarrassingly locked ourselves out of the house. Jason from Greater London Locksmiths came round in 20 mins and not only got us in but then noticed that our new front door was catching. Adjusted the door so it didn't need to be slammed anymore all within the same first hours rate.
