In 65 years of accident-free driving, I never lost a key. Everything happens once and it did last weekend. All keys, house, letterbox and worst and most annoying of all was the car key. These keys are expensive and often it takes up to a month to get the job done. I called all near and far locksmith companies and the waiting time was up to one month. Then I found Out and About, not in my area and got a first-class low price and a service in an hour or so. The locksmith was helpful, very knowledgeable and very reasonable as to the price. I am a real old fusspot, and I can assure you that I am

Paul was no nonsense, and fast and efficient. He was able to fit me in quickly and get the parts needed for the job quickly too. Our front screen door lock hasn't worked for a couple years and it was just one of those things I kept putting off. After dealing with Paul, I just wish I had gotten it fixed sooner!
