Great service from an established local business. They had someone in the area and came out very quickly. The charge was fair with just the call-out plus parts. The guy even adjusted one of my other doors which was not closing smoothly. Would definitely recommend.Hedge End store

Great service from Solent locksmiths! Sensible pricing. Really lovely chaps, very friendly and knowledgeable, super quick service to come and replace a mortice lock and catch on our big old Victorian front door. So thrilled to be able to pop the key in and open it with one hand now rather than all the pushing and pulling we’ve had over the years!! Wish we’d done it sooner! Thank you.Park Gate store
