CLAREMONT LOCK & KEY

I was busy with other work, so asked my 15 year old son to direct Mr. Robert Veale to the door and explain our problem - skeleton key stuck in a lock. I was hoping to replace the lock with a more modern lock, but Mr. Veale let us know that the door was too thin (solid wood door) to accommodate a more modern lock set. He repaired the existing lock by removing the key from it, then removing it from the door, cleaning it up and re-installing it. He noted that the lock had soot on it that might relate to the history of the house, perhaps a fire. He seemed interested in old houses like mine. My son asked me if he could have Mr. Veale open a locked box his grandmother had given him. We didn't know what was inside. Mr. Veale did not charge us for this service and seemed as eager to see what was inside the box as we were. It ended up having a few old and presumable valuable coins inside. It was a pleasure to do business with Mr. Veale.

i am very happy with the service that i got and he was pleasant and curtious.
