Fantastic - everything you would want in a tradie/locksmith, Frank provides. Transparency in quoting, punctual, great communication, and when there was something extra that came up (from me, remembering something else that I needed to get fixed), he was able to help out. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, and we will be using him again.
Cheers Frank - appreciate your work.

I can highly recommend Franks services after he came to my rescue tonight, after the front door lock at my Business failed to lock. Frank discussed the problem with me over the phone, with the aid of my photoes then rushed over all during a Covid Lockdown. I forgot to mention to Frank that this fire safe Clinic door, requires a commercial lock. Frank kindly sourced one, then drove from Fairfield to Coburg at 8.30pm to get the lock with no variation to my quote. Franks professionalism and courteous manner is excellent. Thank you Frank for your service above and beyond. I am very grateful.
