Free Home security and maintenance Survey
As humans, we just get on with things. The one thing that has become apparent over our many years in business is that homeowners don’t realise there are any issues. You get warning lights on your car, and you take it to be checked out. With doors, windows, locks and mechanisms the warning signs are there but that is just how it has been for as long as you can remember that it doesn’t even cross your mind to do anything about it. The reality is that making sure things are serviced stops the likelihood of having a catastrophic failure, eliminating the need to call another locksmith or me in an emergency. A visit from a locksmith is often not a happy one as it is money that has not been budgeted for. You wouldn’t be alone if you couldn’t identify a problem with your doors or windows not working properly.
