We wanted a secure and attractive sturdy door to replace a gate and a front door from the 70s.
First, Dermot's quotation for a new wooden front door was no-nonsense and fair. When he came around, he clearly explained what he would install, the type of wood he would use, the types of locks and the various security features we could expect. He was confident and knowledgeable, exactly what we needed. Ultimately, Dermot installed a hardwood door on a custom-built frame, cut and assembled on-site to fit an uneven door opening. His expertise as a locksmith, as well as carpenter came in handy to get the high security locks that we wanted installed, hinge bolts, security bars, and matching hardware. The job took slightly longer than anticipated partly because it was more complicated than originally thought, but he kept to the quote, never whinged and was a gentleman throughout the job. Despite being in high demand, he did not over-commit himself to other jobs as we've had other tradesmen do in the past. Came back to refit the lock after the wood expanded a little. Very happy with Dermot's reliability, quality of work and would definitely recommend him.
