Great Guy Mark

Great Guy Mark. No fuss, no nonsense, straight talking, just got on and sorted the job without any hard sell. Came as a recommendation from other residents on our residential WhatsApp group of 132 residents. Will definitely use again if I need any other issues sorting.

That's a great review, Julie- Thanks very much for the 5 Stars!

Super quick

Super quick. Arrived on the same day to correct a lock that had become misaligned and got very sticky. Needed a lot of force to get the door open. Now door opens smoothly without effort and I'm relieved that I won't end up locked out if the door sticks. Will use again when I need a locksmith.

Came at short notice. Sorted the lock problem very quickly - knowledge is ‘key’ - cleanly and with a friendly demeanour. Fair price. Highly recommended.

Great service and happy to be able to use a local tradesperson

Mark gave helpful constructive advice over the phone, came same day to measure up and then returned next day to fit our new locks. They had to be ordered due to age of the house and the doors. More than happy to recommend him.

Replacement UVPC lock

I had lost the key on an infrequently used back door so it needed a replacement lock and key. Very speedy Service, well explained, New lock is much better quality than the previous one. Would recommend.

Fast-responding, knowledgeable, quality job at reasonable price

I was impressed with Universal Locksmith's work after I contacted them.
Mark was able to come out the same day, and came across as highly knowledgeable and resourceful in his trade.
He was faced with a tricky situation (a stuck door) and was able to resolve it and complete the job (lock replacement).
I found the price very reasonable as well.
I also liked the little stories and insights he shared while he worked away - clearly someone with a passion for what they do.
I'd highly recommend!
