Paul did a great job and resolved the problem with great knowledge and efficiency. He's friendly, instantly trustworthy and the sort of person you can trust to do a professional, high quality job. His prices are reasonable and he's a very pleasant bloke to have a chat with. I've certainly kept his card and will use him again. Would recommend him without hesitation.

The job was completed in a timely and efficient manner. The replacement part was of a higher specification to what it replaced. It was a quick and efficient service and I would happily recommend this company.

I had used Paul three years ago, so had no hesitation in using him again. He responded promptly, kept me informed about his arrival, gave me a quote in advance and arrived when he said he would. He explained everything he was doing and gave me tips to avoid problems in the future. Very professional.

Contacted Paul at AHL Locksmiths to get some maintenance on a rear double glazed door lock that did not feel right when it was being locked. Paul attended promptly at the time and date agreed, reviewed the state of the lock, and explained what needed to be done to repair it. We agreed, and then Paul got on and did the work. We now have a new, smoothly operating, more secure lock to our back door, which we are very happy with. Thank you Paul.

Paul changed a lock that had been a persistent problem and seen by two other locksmiths beforehand. He correctly identified that there was a problem with the metal security bar on the door which the other locksmiths had missed. He attended on time and was efficient and friendly. Happy to recommend him.

When I rang Paul on his 0800 number he answered immediately and made an appointment for the same day. He diagnosed the problem with my UPVC door and repaired it promptly. This involved re-hanging the door and adjusting the frame fittings. My door now locks easily for the first time ever. Highly recommended.

Paul came out on the same day as I contacted him to fix a new lock for me, and although we didn't meet personally I can report that he was very polite and helpful on the phone, gave clear, reasonable pricings and - I'm assured - did a great job!

High security Yale lock jammed in locked position. Arrived on time, opened the lock, fitted replacement, tidied up, explained throughout what needed doing and why and what it would cost, and how to maintain the new lock in good condition. All done to high standard. Local, long established business. Thought overall price was reasonable.

Not having used them for over a decade, we had misplaced all the keys to the two (SoldSecure Gold) D-locks that secured our bike shed, and it was also obvious that our ancient front door lock also needed attention. I found Paul through WTT. He promised to come round & sort them all out & quoted a fair price so we arranged a time a few days later. He rang on the day to confirm & to warn us that he’d been held up on the previous job and might be 30minutes late. He wasn’t, as it turned out, but it was reassuring to be forewarned. It took him about 30 seconds each to cut off the bike locks (😳) & he gave us some options for the front door lock. We took the cheapest and quickest, which was perfectly adequate, & took him about 30 mins. All expertly and neatly done. Absolutely no complaints. Top man, and nice with it. I’d be very happy to have him back.
