Over 200 five star reviews on Google.
Latest review.
Paul was so kind to respond INSTANTLY and was at my front door within 5 minutes of hanging up on the phone. He not only managed to get me back into the house, which was no small feat due to the intricacies of the lock, but also replace the lock, give me new keys and replace the latch. He was kind, polite, super helpful and quick. An absolute gem and very reasonably priced as well. Thank you Paul, you’re a life saver!!! 🙏🏼

Wales Covid 19 lockdown is still in place from March 1st 2021.
We are pleased to confirm that we are continuing to be open for all types of repairs while the Wales lockdown is still in place.
This includes all emergency lock and door repairs and Garage door repairs.
If you are in this group you can tell us upon calling to book my services and i will go through any concerns you may have prior to the visit.
Security and burglary.
Its important to remember that while most of the country is locked down and people are staying at home the burglars are not !
Its not a good idea to leave entrance doors to your home unsecured or with broken and damaged locks which is what i'm finding people are doing. They are putting off essential repairs because they are at home all day.
Please remember most of the burglaries or entries into homes are carried out while you are asleep so please bear this in mind if you are putting off having doors repaired. You may be at home all day but the burglars know you have to sleep and over 90% of home break ins are through unlocked doors or windows.
Its looking ever more likely that this will not be a quick fix solution to the covid 19 problem so its better to get the doors repaired sooner rather than leave yourself vulnerable to a night time burglary.

This is the brand new Garador secured by design anti-theft garage door which cannot be opened under normal circumstances by any means other than the key operated locking system.
These doors are the very latest in production to prevent theft from garages by forcing the doors open with a jemmy or crowbar the locking system cannot be opened or accessed by any other means than with a key and operating the locking system.
Unfortunately this means that if they go wrong they cannot be opened unless you have the tools i designed to enable access for repairs.
This is a door which i opened today in Chepstow for a customer that the operating/locking system had gone wrong and the door was locked shut.
Once opened the door locking system is easily repaired.
See my website for full details of all our garage door repair services.
The link below shows the Garador video demonstration for this particular type of door and locking system.
