Review by Nita
on 6th November 2025
Nita - Image 1 "From start to finish, Alan was a consummate professional. When I called him he was able to book me in the next day, upon which he turned up on time (well, fifteen minutes early), and fixed four locks in around an hour. His demeanour was personable and straightforward, and from chatting with him it's clear he's an expert in his field. I will say the charge seemed a bit on the expensive side; however, you're paying for punctualitu, experience, convenience, expediency, and a thorough job being done, and I'd rather pay more knowing I'm in safe hands. Recommended!"
Trader reply: "you forgot to mention that I also supplied a new mortice lock, as well as servicing 4 others and realigning front door, the old crittal door was especially awkward to adjust and service.. and everything now works as new and keeping you safe&secure.. thank for posting this lovely review 👍"

Graham - Image 1 "Second time Alan has come and sorted issues with a lock . Front door last year . Yesterday the patio door would not lock . Alan was at my house before 8am the following day to install a new Bristish Standard lock . The door was also very stiff and Alan realigned and put oil on the gearing mechanism. Excellent workman ."
Trader reply: "Thank you Graham, it’s always a pleasure helping you 👍"

Toby - Image 1 "Really prompt response to the initial call. Alan was quick to get to work and assess the problem. He had it all sorted within half an hour, had the right part in his van and we had a working back door by the time he had left. Thank you!"
