    Matt did a terrific job in sorting out our locks. The house is now secure. He was friendly, helpful, and courteous. Thanks Matt!

    I can’t recommend Matt at First Choice Locksmiths enough. We called him out on New Years Eve as we could not unlock our garage door. We had lost the only key. Emergency access was needed. Saw his advert on ‘Our Local Expert’ and called him for an initial chat. I instantly felt that he was knowledgeable and helpful. Very good value for money – especially as it was New Years Eve!Added bonus was that he has been approved by trading standards, so this provided a bit of extra reassurance.

    Matt fitted new locks on all doors of a new property. He was extremely helpful and friendly and did a superb job, was very prompt in attending and communicated really well. I would definitely recommend him and would certainly use him again if I needed a locksmith.

    One of our grandchildren had managed to pull our front door lock off although to be fair to her it had been fitted in an amateurish way in the first place! I contacted Matt using a contact form on his website and he got back to me quickly. It was really fiddly but he made a brilliant job of it. Matt is a friendly bloke who clearly knows what he is doing and I would definitely recommend him.

    Fantastic service from a total professional. Matt re-set our front and back doors so that the locks run smoothly. He also replaced several handles on various double glazed windows around the house. Friendly, professional and knowledgable.

    I rang on behalf of my elderly parents as the lock on their old front door had broke. Matt visited them quickly and explained all of the options and the costs (whilst wearing a mask and using hand gel!) before he did anything. He gave them time to think about it – he was happy to pop back. We were happy with the service, cost and general all round friendliness of Matt. Happy to recommend in the future.

    Matt provided an excellent service. He diagnosed the problem immediately, explained the options and when we’d decided what to do he gave the price. He carried out the job brilliantly, cleared up after he’d finished and took all the old pieces away.We would recommend Matt’s services highly.

    Had a problem locking the front door late Friday afternoon before Christmas week. Matt came and did a temporary fix on the Saturday morning and then a complete fix soon after, when the replacement part arrived. Friendly, reliable and conscientious service. He comes when he says he will and keeps you up to date with progress.

    He is absolutely brilliant. I tried people several people in Yellow Pages and got no answer, then I remembered your little book. He was with me within 15 minutes. He talked me right through what he was going to do and what it would cost. I would recommend him to anyone.
