    "Doug came very promptly, my lock was very out of date so Doug had to search for a replacement lock. Then he had to adapt the one that was nearest to fit. This meant he had to come on three occasions and he was brilliant - got the whole job done in two days at great inconvenience to him. I would happily recommend Doug."

    "Doug arrived within 10 minutes when my key snapped off in the door. He sorted everything quickly, replaced the lock efficiently and was very reasonably priced. Doug was calm, friendly, and reassuring throughout, which made a difficult situation much easier. It’s not often you come across someone so genuine, reliable and trustworthy - I would highly recommend him!"

    "I can’t recommend Doug enough! We had a tricky locksmith job at our jewellery store which other companies couldn’t even attempt. He arrived on time, was really professional and fixed the lock in under half an hour. 5 star rating for this brilliant Chesham business."
