I rang Andy when I had a key was stuck in the door and he provided very good advice and feedback over the phone. He took the time to show me a step-by-step guide on getting the difficult key out of the lock and kindly gave some maintenance tips to ensure it doesn't get stuck again. Highly recommend - brilliant service.
