He advised this is more expensive but worth considering - we chose to go ahead. The price was very competitive , my daughter felt safe as the work was done.

I spoke to Gabriel on the phone who explained that he would try to repair the lock if possible, otherwise replace. He attended at 4pm the same day. He was polite, helpful, clear and knowledgeable. His timing was spot on and the charges perfectly fair. He even sent photos of the finished work. This was on of those few occasions when I was dreading finding a contractor and ended up being pleasantly surprised by someone doing a good job."

   Gabriel was very courteous and extremely knowledgeable about locks. He quickly recognized that the lock in the door was different to the other sliding door and we were then able to find the correct key. After an amount of work he was able to free the lock and open the door. Gabriel took time to get the lock working again and also reset the plate on the frame to make sure the lock engaged correctly. I'd not hesitate to recommend Capital Locksmiths.
