From my experience of the lock monkey, she’s good people. I called her out once and just her presence alone brought a non-invasive solution to the problem. On this occasion she made replacing a window lock an easy and efficient process. She ordered and replaced the lock within a few days with no input from me. Thank you Deb.

Called this company as they had all good reviews on google, however I was told to phone someone else (in a very blunt manner) as she’d just got back from a holiday and wasn’t interested! 🤷‍♂️
Response from the owner:I’m sorry you feel that way. As I explained, I was already fully booked for today, and as your job was an emergency I suggested contacting another company. I do hope you managed to get your job completed to your satisfaction.

Called on a Thursday Debbie said she would be on holiday the next week and her Friday was fully booked. I explained my predicament and she said she would see if she could alter the start of her holiday and would ring me back. I must be honest I wasn't expecting any change, how wrong was I!
Phone rang in less than 5mins and she said she could meet at the property on Saturday at 0930.
Debbie was there on time and within the hour the job was done.
Great Service,
