Honest and professional
Had to change locks after burglary and he was very prompt, professional and above all honest. I was so impressed I called him back two months later when I locked myself out. Same excellent service which is hard to find these days!

From our initial contact with Paul to when he completed the job, he was polite and professional. He fitted bolts onto our conservatory doors and provided further advice on securing the doors. I would highly recommend Paul and would use him again.

Job well done!
We reached out to Paul a day before picking up the keys to our new property and he was able to accommodate us and come the next day to change the locks. We sent him photos of the existing locks via WhatsApp and within minutes he had provided a competitive quote explaining the difference in the types of locks we can get. He arrived promptly on time and completed the change of two locks within an hour! As a bonus, he gave us loads of advice and recommendation of how to secure our home which went beyond locks! He also takes cards! Highly recommended if you need a locksmith in West London!

Splendid Service
Trouble with front door lock started late on a Friday evening. Called Paul on Saturday morning who arrived rapidly and dealt with the problem straight away. Excellent service carried out by a skilled and friendly fellow.

Excellent work
Paul came to deal with our patio door, which we had great trouble in locking. He was very professional in explaining the problem and dealing with it, and huscharges (the call-out fee plus £10 for sone screws) was fair and expert very happy. A nice man, too.

Excellent Service - Highly Recommended
Paul was excellent to deal with. He made everything straightforward and understandable. He was exceptionally polite and a genuinely nice guy. To assist in dealing with the problem he asked for photos/video to be sent in advance to him enable an assessment of the issue. He then provided an estimate for the work and agreed a mutually convenient time to attend. He was very clear what was, and what wasn’t included in the estimate. The required work was undertaken quickly and efficiently. A true tradesman he provided his own protective coverings and ensure no debris was left behind. At the conclusion of the work his bill was slightly less than the estimate that he had provided. I can unequivocally recommend Paul as a locksmith.

Perfect job
No matter how many keys you think you have for a very important (locked!) padlock there’ll be a day when you can’t find any of them. But Paul was able to open it in 15 seconds. No unfair call-out charge. Very fair price. And good advice on door locks. He’s been doing this for 40 years so knows more than a bit about it!

What a legend! Paul responded quickly to our enquiry and everything was so delightfully straightforward. Paul booked the job after a good discussion on what exactly was needed, he gave advanced notice of his arrival on the day, was efficient, friendly, worked fast, was very clean/tidy and considerate. I can’t recommend Paul enough: this is the person for all your locksmiths needs: very safe experienced and most important trustworthy hands. Excellent interpersonal skills, no surprises. We are so happy. Thanks Paul!

Excellent service. I rang in the morning was we had misplaced our keys. Paul came that day and replaced everything. Not only that, he pointed out and rectified a poor installation from another supplier. Paul was a real professional and I would strongly recommend.

Faulty UPVC back door
We have used other Which Trusted Traders previously, and found them to be excellent. Paul was no exception. Our UPVC back door had several faults and Paul discussed these with me before starting. He arrived when he said he would arrive, did what he said he would do, and charged what he said he would charge. Very professional – neat and tidy too. When he had finished and tidied up, he gave us some useful advice on how to prevent problems in the future. We are delighted with his work.

Paul not only fitted a new lock but also realigned the plates on the door frame: the locking mechanism on the door now operates very smoothly. He also gave some great advice on how to reduce wear and tear on locks. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul for his excellent service and skills.

Spoke to Paul on the phone and made appointment. He was going to be late but phoned to apologise. He assessed our locks and made suggestion which we discussed with him. He did an expert job of fitting the locks which included filling old holes. A craftmans job at a very good price. Really knows his business. Thoroughly recommended.

I called this firm when I couldn't get out of my back door on Saturday morning. Paul Flanagan came within an hour. He drilled out the old lock and fitted a new one, explaining what he was doing. He also refitted another lock on the door. He gave me useful advice about my patio door too. On the way out he noticed that my front door lock was not really adequate, so I asked him to come back and install a better one. He talked me through my options and we made another appointment. He arrived on time and did a very good job again. My new lock now meets insurance standards. He also fitted a letter box guard. He was a neat worker and certainly knows his profession.
