Although we’re proud to be Barnsley residents ourselves, it’s fair to say that Barnsley isn’t the safest place to live.

Had to get our locks changed asap as the barrel broke and we couldn’t use the front door. Locksmiths were super quick to come out, they were at our house within the hour and it took literally 5 minutes to change the lock. The gentleman Jim was very nice and explained why our lock had broken so we could prevent it happening again in the future. Super great service. Would definitely recommend.

Everything you want from a lock smith. We are a care provider and our clients key safe failed. Meaning we couldn't support with medication. Danny was super responsive and discreet as not to concern our client. And saved the day. Meds given and no drama's, Would recommend. Competitive rates considering it was out of hours also. We also got a follow up call to ensure we received the invoice and checked to see if we were happy with the service.
