Wish I looked at the reviews first before booking!! DONT USE! Get a legit locksmith.

Like all the other reviews, I was intially quoted £49 + VAT for a simple repair. Upon arrival they said the lock had to be drilled and and it would be £120 + VAT because it wasn't a simple job. Took 5 minutes to drill. I tried to argue the case that a 5 minute job seems pretty simple. Called the office to complain and was met with just a rude person on the end of the line (sounded like the same eastern european that drilled the lock). Showed up in a private car on the day... Seems like a scam to me. DONT USE!!

What makes it worse is it was for an elderly relative...

Absolutely disgusting. Quoted £49. Told couldn’t access a simple yale lock and charged £271! Absolute con merchants, do not use!

Absolutely terrible, quoted £50 online and then tried to charge me £450 for a new lock! Then when I said no thanks they said I had to pay a minimum of £40 for coming out even though they say there’s no call out fee! They then called me on no caller ID and threatened me with debt collectors because I didn't pay the call out fee! DO NOT USE, WASTE OF TIME SCAMMERS!!!

DO NOT USE!!! Was quoted £50 online which then turnt into £220.80 some big Romanian guy so didn’t have much choice 😂 this is a Romanian gang that is scamming people out of there money

Came to fix a patio door locking mechanism and did not repair it properly. Rang them back and they wanted another callout at extortional prices.

Blatant scammers, quote £49 to unlock a door, arrived in a private car with a bag of drills and said both my locks were “anti-lock Pick” then said £250 just to unlock the door.

When I said no all of a sudden there was a call out fee after there website stated “No call out fee”, they then attempted to barrate me via whatsapp/ imessage/ anything I had not blocked.

DO NOT CALL THESE PEOPLE!

My elderly parents were charged £480 to change a UPVC door lock. He arrived in private car, no works van and although advert said “No Call Out Fee” were told they owe £170 just for him turning up to look at it.
Changed the door lock gearbox and barrel and said it would be another £310 (Gearbox retails at around £30 and euro lock for about £15). There for about half an hour so that’s some hourly rate!!! No VAT receipt, just a World Pay email which was not itemised.
Beware!!!

*UPDATE*
Have had to get a reputable locksmith to look at door as it still wasn’t operating correctly. He was disgusted at the work carried out for the price and even more shockingly, he showed me the gearbox that was charged for and fitted,was clearly a previously used item!!!!!

Haven’t these scammers got any morals or elderly relatives of their own?
