SilverFloor64-1, Basildon. Berkshire. 2018
"A Superior Service. So pleased with the service. Ian set out his costs when I rang, was polite and reassuring, arriving quickly , not only completing the work speedily and efficiently but providing advice as well. 
Why outstanding? I had phoned another locksmith service in Yellow Pages that advertised 24 hour service and set out a list of towns in the region: apparently no one was able to come out about 3pm on a Sunday or indeed any time that day. I was told not to try advertisements with a reference number because he had contacted them all - I now understand that they were probably a national call centre, despite the local towns listed. 
I then called Link Locksmith Services and Ian arrived within 40 minutes - I live in a rural area about 14 miles away from him..".

BlueTank61-4, Stein, Caversham. 2018
"With many unscrupulous businesses around, I'm glad I met Link Locksmith Services. Ian Davies of Link Locksmith Services is pleasantly friendly, but professional. He gives superlative service. He inspires honesty, accuracy plus integrity. He merits recommendation for reliability and confidence. Need I say more? Jack Stein".

Lovelightandhealing, Ab Fab, Reading. 2018
"Friendly, helpful locksmith in Reading. Highly recommend, Ian has a helpful and friendly manner, carries out the work efficiently and to budget. I have used him domestically at our home for a broken french double glazed door lock and commercially to secure our industrial unit to insurance specified standards".

MaroonShirt65, Reading. 2018
"Superb service. I got the distinct impression that Ian rearranged his schedule to accommodate my non-closing/locking external French doors. He turned up in about 90 minutes after my call and what a very pleasant chap he is. Ian not only got on with the job but also made an effort to explain what had caused the problem and what the solution was. Absolutely first class service. Delighted".

Darren Curtis, Ab Fab, Bradfield, Berkshire. 2018
"I would highly recommend Ian from Link locksmith services in Reading. He's helpful, friendly, does a neat and tidy job on time and to budget. I have used him domestically at our home and commercially to secure our industrial unit to insurance specified standards".

PinkCurtains59, Moon, Mortimer. Berkshire. 2018
"Great and professional would recommend phoning them as first point of call! After having phoned 5 local locksmiths without any joy and a couple did not even reply to my phone message. Link Locksmith Services from beginning to end were professional and even tried to fix the problem over the phone to avoid the call out costs. The man also explained what had gone wrong gave a demonstration of how to fix it if it ever happened again along with how the door worked. They have years of experience and were very confident in getting the job done".

H Platt, Wokingham. 2017
"Great service from Link, to resolve a lock issue on patio doors which other locksmiths couldn't resolve for me. Ian was prompt, friendly and efficient. Link Locksmiths were recommended to me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them now myself".

Flic Toria, Condron, Tilehurst. 2017
"Great service from Ian. He’s professional, friendly and very knowledgeable and will not rip you off. If he can fix an existing lock rather than replace it he will. I’d definitely recommend him for emergency or non emergency work, he’s a lovely man and very efficient".

MagentaTelephone4, Reading. 2017
"Excellent, prompt and thorough service. We received excellent service for a faulty lock on a uPVC door. We had a call back soon after logging our problem. Even though ours was not a real emergency Ian came around the same day. He kept us informed throughout about what he was doing, possible outcomes and cost implications. He carries a wide range of spares and has a workbench on his van, including key cutting, so he would expect to complete most tasks on one visit. We thought his pricing structure was fair. Would I use him again if needed? Definitely Yes".

TweediePie, Ab Fab, Tilehurst. 2017

"Excellent service, fast and reliable tradesman".

R Chandler, Calcot, Reading. 2017
"Great experience. Ian was very clear upfront about rates as well as giving me potential costs to resolve my issue (which allowed me to make a "buy new or repair" decision there and then). He attended within the hour (as agreed) and as it turned out was able to make an even cheaper repair than expected! 
Absolute spot on service - was more than happy to give advise which was very much appreciated as future reference. 
Only down side was my dog managed to chew/break his Bluetooth ear piece - sorry Ian.
More than happy to recommend.

M Francis, Water Tower Pub, Tilehurst, Reading. 2017
"Arrived promptly and completed job quickly. Satisfied customer".

E Martin, Reading. 2017
"Ian was at my house for a lockout within an hour on a Saturday morning. Very friendly, professional and got me into the house with no damage despite a tricky lock. Highly recommended".

J Mills-Way, 2016
"Excellent service. My completely broken Victorian door lock was expertly repaired & new keys made. Ian came at times we had agreed, he repaired, delivered & installed the lock within a week. At the same time he gave advice about security on our other locks. Would recommend this firm without hesitation".

A Clarke, Tilehurst. 2016
"Thank you so much for fixing our locking mechanism on our front door, I will have no hesitation to recommend your professional, friendly service".

H Keeves, Newbury. 2016
"We had changed the batteries for the electronic keypad on our Sentry safe but then it would not open. Unfortunately, the key that came with the safe was not a keypad override and so that would not open it either. Ian came round and we decided the safe had to be broken into; there was no other option after various methods were tried. Fortunately, we didn’t need to get into the safe urgently for passports but Ian said he would have come round anytime if that had been the case. Ian has since looked into a replacement safe and would be able to supply and fit it as needed. We would definitely recommend Link Locksmith Services". 

C Ellison, Calcot. 2016
"Professional services. Quick and competitively priced". 

D Hunt, Reading. 2016
"Ian was quick to arrive and even quicker to open the door, even outside of regular working hours. Would definitely recommend". 

R Merredith, Reading. 2015
"Thank you for fixing my door handle. It works like a dream. My sister told me that it turned out to be an awkward job, so extra thanks for persevering". 

P Baker, Burghfield. 2015
"Just a quick note to say thanks for turning up so promptly and getting the key out of the back of the front door for our daughter while we were away last week. She was gutted to have made the mistake in the first place and appreciated you turning up so quickly! Thanks". 

Pete, Director at PG Garden Services, Reading. 2015
"Ian fitted extra security locks to all my doors on my van due to a previous break-in. He kindly took the van back to his workshop for the day on Friday and when I was back from my weekend away, it was all finished for Monday. Ian is a true professional who knows exactly what he is doing; I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you once again".

"I wanted to thank you for such an excellent job in replacing the front door locks when we moved in. You were incredibly prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. You were able to supply all the parts in the right colours and give me some advice on what we can do to improve the door security in the long term. You followed up professionally with texts on a part I was interested in too - really, beyond what I would have expected. I was impressed and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking for a brilliant yet reasonably priced Locksmith. Thank you. We will be back in touch to take up your further recommendations when we have settled in". 

Frances, Purley on Thames. 2015

Sarah, Reading. 2015
"Ian fitted a 5 lever mortice lock on my front door, to comply with insurance company requirements, charged as per quoted and arrived as arranged. The finish is fantastic and I would highly recommend him. Thanks very much for fitting my mortice lock and for planting the door. I have stained all the bare wood, as you advised, and it is all working as hoped. Thanks again". 

Veronica Englishby, Charvil, Berkshire. 2014
"I contacted Ian regarding a broken conservatory lock. He made a very prompt appointment and as a considerate gesture, phoned me prior to his arrival in order to save me having to wait around all day for him. I really appreciated this as so often these days you have to take a whole day off just for one item to be fixed. He arrived exactly when he said he would, completed the job very quickly, professionally and even fixed another lock while he was here too. The service was trustworthy, friendly, professional and reasonably priced. All in all, I have great pleasure in recommending Ian and Link Locksmith Services to any customer based on my very positive experience". 

Richard Saunders, Charvil, Berkshire. 2014

Chris Rhodes, Tilehurst, Reading. 2014
"Thank you for sorting out the issue with our uPVC door on Monday this week. The service you provided was excellent, from trouble shooting the problem with me over the phone before I left on holiday and your openness and honesty about call out costs for after hours and weekend work, which meant that we could arrange for you to come and fix the door upon our return at a standard rate. I appreciated the way in which you talked through what was wrong with the door when you were here & took me through the steps you were taking to remedy the problem. From the initial phone call to arriving and doing the job, you were courteous and friendly, which made it a pleasure to do business with you and Link Locksmith Services. I will certainly keep your details for any further lock related issues".

"I'm an idiot. There, I said it. After returning from 10 days in the US, I got to my door & realised that I had left the keys to my apartment behind. Argh!
