LOCKSMITH
Anyone know of a decent locksmith in the Hertford area who can cut/copy a key that works FIRST TIME ?

You don't know what the key is for yet - maybe tiger works at a bank and is just preparing for the outcome?

REMARKABLY TIGER HAS (with the assistance of his cat) managed to
get it in the SHOPPING section !
No, I don't work in a bank.

Best Key Cutting service I have had was from Red Rae in Amwell End in Ware.
The guy actually knew about locks, rather than just how to operate the little machine used in smaller outlets.
This was a few years ago now though.

Thanks Jez. I tried Lock,Stock and Barrel in Warren Place. They have a number of high-tech laser cutting machines and plenty of high-tech
"rabbit" but that seems as far is it goes. Not a happy experience with them.

Although this comes from a few years ago and the person in question has hopefully moved on, I would also warn against the key cutters and shoe heelers (Essex Shoe Shop??) in Bircherley Green after having four keys cut from a "master" which had been kept virtually un-used just for this eventuality and none of them worked. Took them back and had another set cut. They didn't work so back I went and was fobbed off with a story about having cashed up and couldn't do a refund onto my card, then was told he didn't know how to do a refund, then "come back again" - which was the following Saturday as I work in London. Following Saturday morning came and was told they didn't do refunds (despite having not cut the keys to work twice) So I stood my ground on a refund and was told there was no cash in the till, someone came in bought something and sure enough there was plenty of cash in the till. Then I was told he would call the police if I didn't leave, which I didn't of course and after I warned another customer of the trouble I was having I eventually got the refund after having been sworn at a few times - and no, I hadn't sworn at him.
I went there because it was about a pound cheaper than elsewhere, not good service at all and I will never go there again.
