I needed the locks changing and had a great experience with Williams Locksmiths. Dave gave me his price before he came so I knew what to expect and he even upgraded the lock for a minimal price. He was friendly and also professional. Would strongly recommend him.

Excellent response to my call and showing up: efficient, clear and determined to fix a couple of issues, some I didn’t know I had! Knew exactly what the causes were and explained clearly and precisely. Couldn’t ask for more really.

Fantastic service - highly recommend. In contrast to some other locksmiths we tried, Dave immediately answered when I called, he established straight away over the phone exactly what needed to be done, was there to do it when he said he would, and did a brilliant job. (On tricky broken key in garage door job).

I used Dave's services several years ago when I moved into my house, and he was great then. I've just had my external doors replaced, and called on him again - he has replaced the locks for me so I am happily using one key again! Very helpful, great advice and delivers in reasonable timescales (delivers on his promises).

Would highly recommend - great customer service at reasonable cost.

I had Dave fit an after market handle on the outside of my bifold door. The door wasn’t designed to have this but I wanted to be able to open the door from the outside. He was very knowledgable and helpful in modifying my door. Perfect finish

Dave repaired my upvc patio door that failed to open. I had taken it apart and then couldn't put it back together. Dave put it all back together and then realigned the doors. Excellent service. Friendly guy. Great price. I would definitely recommend.

I had an issue with my back door lock. Dave was absolutely brilliant and knew exactly what the issue was.
New cylinder and keys fitted with an adjustment to the door aswell which has made such a difference. I now have a secure fitted back door which I have never really had.
Very quick and tidy and Dave explained everything he was doing aswell which really appreciated. Would throughly recommend Dave (Williams Locksmiths Bristol) for any door issues . Thanks so much Dave.

If you want an excellent job, at a fair price, by a friendly reassuring man, then call Dave. The job was challenging, but Dave found the problem and fixed it, much to my relief.
Many thanks Dave

Dave gave up the most amazing, fast and efficient service today. We needed to currently change our front door lock and he came out quickly and within minutes changed the locks and gave us 5 spare keys. Highly recommend as Dave was extremely pleasant to talk to and very professional in his service.

Extremely good service. Answered my call in the late evening, arranged next day appointment and provided the service very professionally. When Dave was going to be later than the arranged time he called to let me know and arrange to be a little later which was excellent, keep me informed and I've perfectly happy.
All in all would whole heartedly recommend Dave Williams for service, professionalism and price.

Fantastic service - our upvc door wouldn’t open, Dave came out that day and got it open whilst replacing the mechanism. I also asked him to check our back door and suggested all ok, but handles could do with replacing at some point, as Dave was so easy to deal with we decided to replace front and back door handles, now all in working order and doors as much easier to use. Would highly recommend and would use again!

Have used Dave many times in the past but haven't needed his services for a few years now. Called him today and he was out to the job within an hour, got the door opened and coming back next week to fit new parts. Exceptional service as always.

Dave replaced the full lock system in our aging UPVC back door and left it better than new. He came for a quote, ordered the parts and fitted it in super quick time. He even fine tuned our front door lock before he left. Highly recommended!

Friendly, professional and gave great advice. Dave was able to re-align the rear uPVC doors and replace the lock on the front all within 30 minutes. Made an enquiry on the website and he got back to us super quick. Really glad we got Dave round.

Highly recommended. Dave came round to fix my door, which was jammed shut, really quickly. He certainly knows his stuff and is reasonably priced. He was also able to advise me on my other dodgy door and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. Very pleased.

Dave came to look at our old door, he has turned it into a new door! Very impressed with it- much better than I had hoped. Very professional and stuck by his quote even though it took longer than anticipated. Would definately recommend and will contact Dave if needed in the future.
