If I could rate higher than 5 stars I absolutely would. I called David late afternoon, as my door refused to lock properly. He came to look at it promptly (without charging a call out fee) as he didn’t want me to feel unsafe in my own home. He was friendly, professional and explained what the problem was and his recommendations to fix it. All within hours of me calling him. He went out of his way to help and get the whole lock and mechanism replaced for me. Thank you David. Appreciate your kindness and expertise - I’ll certainly be pointing friends and family in your direction if ever they need a locksmith 😊

Arrived home after a shopping spree to the front door that wouldn't open and one of those 'Oh No!!' moments. When what I thought was the door handle that had broken I googled a locksmith then rang Towergate and spoke to Dave. He said he could help or at least, take a look after his current job. Dave arrived promptly and after investigation he managed to get the door open (so at least I could get in the house) and he knew straight away what the issue was.. AND.. he had the part.... Phew! 15mins later along with some good advice, the job was done. Friendly and knowledgeable though I can only apologise to his wife for his dedication to his trade as he promised to her no more jobs.. Thanks Dave

Absolutely brilliant service - came out in Easter Sunday as an emergency call out. Quick, professional and excellent. A quality craftsman, polite, on time and good value.

Very helpful, polite. Turned up when he said he would, fixed the problem and then cleaned everything down. He had us test it and make sure we were happy before leaving.

Speedy, good at his job, non-judgmental (I like that he didn't make me feel stupid for locking myself out). And very fairly priced. I'd highly recommend.
