Gabriel was fantastic. He was friendly, professional and informative. I really appreciated how he explained the issue and the different options. Very reasonably priced and I feel confident in calling again (if we ever need to!).
Great guy. Very honest and skilled. Fast and easy solution and fairly priced. Perfect.
Very friendly gentleman. Quick and speedy service. Updates throughout.
Gaby, was brilliant - i phoned, he answered straight away. Promised he will get out to me in a space of 20 mins. He turned up and fixed the lock within minutes. He is very professional and very reliable and very affordable. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He also bought his two little boys with him. Which was very nice as it is now the school holidays, so i totally understood. He was honest about this and i respect this. Also it’s not an expensive service, like with other companies that lie to you. Thank you Gaby.
Excellent service from DGM Locksmiths. I had a seized and stripped lock screw that I couldn’t remove myself. He came out quickly, sorted the issue within minutes, fitted my new anti-snap lock properly, and even corrected an issue with the screw supplied with the lock at no extra charge. Very professional, honest, knowledgeable and much more reasonably priced than other quotes I received. Would definitely recommend.
