Excellent service, workmanship and contact. I contacted Tony about 10am yesterday and he was just getting back off holiday but was able to come and fix my in-laws broken UPVC front door lock this morning. Very reasonably priced. Honest, upfront and reliable. Will definitely use again if needed. Thanks Tony.

Fantastic service! Fast response to my query and they came out within two days (when I was available due to work). My front door was fixed within 30 minutes, and he even drove to Warrington to pick up a part. He also provided helpful advice to prevent the same problem from happening again. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks again!

Consumer tips

Poor quality locks and open windows are a good invitation to a thief.

Eleven things worth doing before you ever need a locksmith.

  1. Contact your local crime prevention officer for advice.

  2. If you move home, change the locks so only you know who has keys.

  3. A five lever lock plus deadlock is recommended for the main exit door.

  4. Recessed key operated bolts should be fitted to other doors.

  5. Patio doors can be an easy target for thieves. Additional security devices will prevent the window being forced from its surround.

  6. Window locks are widely available and offer a good visible deterrent.

  7. Garage doors are often very simple to break. Consider adding padlocks to door and frame.

  8. Garden sheds contain tools a thief could use to break into your home. Padlocks again are recommended.

  9. Devices are available so you can leave windows ajar for ventilation, but still be secure. These are particularly useful for bedrooms and bathrooms.

  10. Take a minute to check that all doors and windows, inside and out, are secure before leaving the house or going to bed.

  11. Remember, if you do lock yourself out of your house or car, a locksmith can help you get in as well as help to keep unwanted guests out.
