Phoned up CPW when I had a query about my lock. Sheldon took the time to take me through how the lock should work and saved me spending time and money fixing it, when it didn't need fixing. Appreciated their knowledge and honesty.

After struggling to find a replacement lock for my mailbox, I visited CPW Locksmith today and am delighted I did. The gentleman who served me could not have been more helpful - taking the time to examine my old lock and measure its dimensions with a set of vernier calipers to ensure a perfect match. Your attention to detail and customer service were simply brilliant. Thank you so much for your help.

Went to get 2 screws for a patio door handle, 2 minutes and I got them screws , he told me they are free as only 2 screws , I insisted to pay for it and said to don't worry! Very rarely you find people like this who don't tear you off! He could charge me for it but chose to don't! Always brought locks from here,amazing service highly recommend!!

Turned up at short notice, Sheldon fitted a mortise lock to my front door, very good job and even fixed my cylinder lock, polite and tidyed up afterward. Best price from 3 estimates. Many thanks
