    Add a night latch to a flat door.
    We agreed a price beforehand and lock specification. Job posted to work complete was a few hours. Great service!

    Repair door lock
    This locksmith contacted me directly by text. I asked how much his call out fee was and he said there wasn’t one. I arranged for him to come this afternoon. The call lasted 45 minutes and he required immediate payment. I had no breakdown of costs which amounted to £322. On that basis I wouldn’t recommend this man. In response to this man’s comments below, I would only say that at Tesco and Asda one would be given an itemised bill.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Hi you was told ÂŁ90 labour plus parts and vat which if you add ÂŁ179 to a mechanism cost then it is totally a correct charge including vat sorry if you expect your door to be fixed and no charge for parts a locksmith can only determine what parts you require once they can see them guys please send pictures in future if you are worried about pricing - ps we are running a business would you walk into Tesco Asda Argos and not pay for a product/service, please bear this in mind when we ask for payment once a job is completed.

    Locked bifold door
    Job was attended straight away. But I would caution any one using this company as it is not a local firm. Prices are very high for work and changing a door lock on a patio door cost ÂŁ589 which is champagne money for a non emergency job. Make sure you get costing prior to using this firm. I will never use my builder for a job like this again

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Hi sorry you feel this way as the job was needing of two hours labour as your door was locked shut and the parts replaced were a anti snap cylinder and a door mechanism/strip which if your check prices yes they are high priced your description does not reflect this, hope you can consider this in the future many thanks. Ps a two star does not represent the quality work completed - if the price was a problem I wish you spoke with us at the time.
