David is an absolute pleasure to employ. For years if I locked myself out I just googled locksmith and got the first one who came not realising that there is a difference between a man with a mallet calling himself a locksmith and an accredited Master locksmith. With the first, they come round and smash your lock out before charging you a fortune for a new lock. With a Master locksmith, they open your door without smashing the lock and just charge you for the time. David is a Master locksmith and he is a fantastic tradesman.
He knows his craft inside and out. I have used his services when I've locked myself out and recently used his services to adjust my doors and locks as they weren't shutting smoothly. He did the front door and back bifold doors. The difference is immense and we've gone from wrestling with the locks and doors to very smooth, easy doors to open and close. I really can't recommend him highly enough and also would suggest that anybody employing a locksmith ensures that they are accredited as a Master locksmith as that way you get quality craftsmanship and someone you can trust.
