Excellent service to get to the bottom of the issues of cutting spare keys for a new double glazed front door. Yes, we had to go back but no trouble to make the necessary adjustments. Thanks!

Had many keys cut here, great service and they work every time. Also supplied us with a new Paxton electronic lock for our office into an oak door, not an easy install but again works a treat!
