    Duncan - Image 1 "Excellent service from start to finish. I received a quick response to my initial enquiry, which was reassuring in itself. Alan arrived early for the appointment we had arranged, which I really appreciated, and got straight to work without any delay. He carried out the job efficiently and professionally, clearly knowing exactly what needed to be done. The work was completed to a high standard, and he made sure everything was functioning perfectly before finishing. He was friendly, approachable, and happy to answer any questions. He also reassured me that if I experienced any problems, I could get back in touch with him, which gave me added peace of mind. Overall, a very reliable and trustworthy service. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a locksmith. 5 stars."

    Peter Cackett - Image 1 "Another excellent visit from Alan, from initial contact to job done in under 2 hours. New gearbox and cylinder, plus adjusted the front door. This front door has never closed so smoothly. Alan is my first and only point of call for locksmith works in Colchester, and one I can recommend fully. Thank you Alan."

    Trader reply: "Thank you for taking time to post a review on multiple review platforms Peter, It was a challenge restoring your door, that’s what I love doing, you now have a perfectly secure and working front door 👍"

    Nita - Image 1 "From start to finish, Alan was a consummate professional. When I called him he was able to book me in the next day, upon which he turned up on time (well, fifteen minutes early), and fixed four locks in around an hour. His demeanour was personable and straightforward, and from chatting with him it's clear he's an expert in his field. I will say the charge seemed a bit on the expensive side; however, you're paying for punctualitu, experience, convenience, expediency, and a thorough job being done, and I'd rather pay more knowing I'm in safe hands. Recommended!"

    Trader reply: "you forgot to mention that I also supplied a new mortice lock, as well as servicing 4 others and realigning front door, the old crittal door was especially awkward to adjust and service.. and everything now works as new and keeping you safe&secure.. thank for posting this lovely review 👍"
