Report
I can't fault the service provided, Josh was punctual, friendly and took the time to explain what needed doing to fix my door lock, he did a temporary fix as he didn't have the right size part on his van and then returned the next day at the time he said he would and completed the job all for a reasonable price. I highly recommend A1 locksmiths

My sister in law and her husband were locked out of their house late on a Sunday, I found the number for A1 and spoke with Alan who agreed to come over straight away, he sorted the situation very quickly and with no damage whatsoever, extremely professional, polite and great service. I would highly recommend this company and will be the first number that I contact in case of another emergency.

I have used Alan or Josh a few times over the years and always been highly impressed with their work. As well as sorting any lock problems they do security risk assessments and have replaced misted units in our double glazed units. Reliable and prompt service.
