Report
Returned home to find our front door lock had somehow moved to a locked position which denied us entry. Contacted Solent Locksmiths which attended within minutes. Entry was swiftly made and the recalcitrant lock replaced. Wonderful service and speed both at a reasonable cost. Beyond the call.

Report
Martin, was very professional, knowledgeable and absolutely did what he said he would do. Turned up on time on both occasions, kept me informed of any potential issues and even advised me where we didn't need to spend money on things that we thought we needed but didn't. Clearly a very honest and trustworthy guy. The work was carried out very efficiently and quickly and everything completed to a high standard. Refreshing to see no debris or rubbish left on site. Totally recommend.
