Fantastic service. I called at 9:54 to report a problem with my front door lock and he came after he finished a job nearby and by 11:00am the problem was fixed. He knew what was up after I described the problem to him and he had the replacement part required to fix it. Showed me the broken piece, really excellent service and very trustworthy.

I can highly recommend Pentland Locksmiths. Chris was very responsive and gave a good quote for the job. He also was able to carry out the work the next day. He arrived on time and repaired my patio door which now locks perfectly without the need to replace. He also replaced a window handle. I would definitely use again.

Pentland Locksmiths came and fixed one of my french doors expertly. Chris took the time to explain what the problem was and how it could be fixed. Really appreciate the tracking down of my particular locking system as well. 100% recommend them to anyone and I will use them again if another locking issue comes up. Thanks again!

Have used Pentland Locksmiths for a good number of years, and now wouldn't trust any other locksmith with our business.
Chris always seems to be able to 'pop round' at short notice, no matter how busy he is and where he is due to be working, and does what is needed rapidly, professionally and economically. Have yet to come up with a challenge he hasn't been able to fix. He adjusted a door for us recently and, when it started playing up again shortly after his visit, swung by the next day and sorted it for no charge (despite me offering to pay). Highly recommended.
