Excellent service as always. 1st choice locksmith have been our first choice for changing our locks after a break in, fixing a lock when keys were stuck and more recently altering our door when the lock was misaligned. Paul is always quick to respond, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable, fantastic service-I would highly recommend!
