Danny promptly responded to my emails and was able to come same-day. He quickly freed my stuck door, diagnosed the issue, and made the repair. He explained everything thoroughly and charged exactly what he quoted for the work. I highly recommend Alcatraz!
Excellent service, was able to help my elderly neighbour within 10 mins of our call, and was inexpensive and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.
Danny was absolutely wonderful. He responded quickly to my emails, was able to come same-day, kept me up-to-date on his ETA and arrived on time. His quote was very reasonable and he replaced my lock very quickly. I highly recommend him!
Brilliant service. Not only did they replace my door lock within a couple of hours of calling them they also fixed my bathroom window. Highly recommend them as their pricing is more than reasonable.
Did a great job and came out very quickly to fix our latch and replace it, would definitely recommend.
Excellent service! Danny came on very short notice and changed all our locks. Professional, efficient, and reassuring - all locks were replaced quickly. Made the whole process stress-free, highly recommend!
Needed a locksmith after I managed to lock myself out in the evening. Quick call out and a quick re-entry to the property without any damage. Would highly reccomend.
