Really helped me out when I was locked out. They knew I was in a hurry and came over and dealt with it incredibly quickly! They were very polite too

Had to use this company for emergency access when my lock broke. Despite being very helpful on the phone and sending someone out very quickly the person who attended was incredibly rude and aggressive, swore constantly and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. This was far beyond poor customer service with the guy seeming genuinely angry about doing the work. I would avoid this company at all costs.

I've had keys copied a few times, always quick, cheap, and friendly. I should probably buy a key safe to secure my keys - when I do buy one it'll be from these fine people.

I wanted three locks made to all use the same key. This was no problem and not expensive. They have a huge range of locks, safes etc

Great selection of safes and staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the products and offered recommendations on the most suitable product for my needs. Reasonable prices, but then offered a discount making it a very good buy, would highly recommend. Thanks guys!
