Really positive experience. Came round an hour after we called, really knowledgeable and keen to show us what had gone wrong and had all the parts to fix it within an hour. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Great Job! Guy is a legend. Highly recommendable. He arrived very quickly. Super knowledgable, and polite. He was suppose to come just for the front doorlock change but we asked him if he could have a look on the rear door and some windows and he was happy to check it eventhough we said it was just a front door lock change when we calles him. We ended changing the rear door and two windows locks as well because he told us our locks were 0 grade security and were not valid for home insurance and he showed us how easy is to brake a lock, took 3 seconds to open! We were shocked! We decided to change it to he highest security grade and he gives us the paperwork and guaranty for your home insurance.

Really nice demeanor and was very kind and efficient for a nervous student worried about the blame of her landlord.

Max was great, he arrived quickly and was super friendly. He replaced the lock since it wasn't able to be picked. All of this took less than 30 mins! Great service! I am a very happy customer!

Fantastic service, came around within 15 minutes and less than an hour later gone. Very informative throughout and can't recommend him highly enough.

We had a problem with our backdoor, and the door would not lock. This was stressful and I called Max he gave me a time of an hour and he arrived on time. He gave me an indication as to how much it would coat and any changes he made me well aware and did not do and any work until I was happy and agreed to it. His work was excellent, his customer care was 5 star and his knowledge and advise was great. If you need someone to look at your locks Max is your man and we'll worth a call

We locked ourselves out of our house and Max responded very quickly. He resolved the issue (as well as explaining about the lock) very quickly, and was very friendly as well- it was like meeting a friend. His customer service is great and so is his service, and his prices too! Hopefully won't get locked out again but if we do we'll know who to call :)

Max was excellent from the moment I phoned him until the job was done. I am so glad I chose him for the damaged lock change, the price was quite reasonable too. Many thanks!

Very efficient and friendly service. Called Max out for an emergency call at our supported living residence and he was in the property within 20 minutes of first making contact and the issue solved in good time.

Chose Max on the strength of his reviews on here and I wasn't disappointed. He arrived within half an hour and changed the lock and handle on my front door that was getting stuck for a more secure version. Asked him to also look at back door which I suspected was going to have similar problems soon, which he confirmed and said he could also change that so I would not have to pay for labour again later. Told me how to maintain the mechanisms to prevent problems in future.

Couldn't be happier with Max - gives (very reasonable) pricing up front, friendly, polite and has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of locks, where they're made and how to maintain each type. Thanks Max!

I highly recommend Max - he arrived on the same day, within 1 hour of calling up to make an appointment to fix my front door that wouldn't open. He was very knowledgeable and walked me through the issues/repair process and was upfront on costs. He also helped with some issues I was having on another external door.
