We had a cat emergency, having gone on holiday for a week, our neighbour, was looking after our cat, by going into our house, feeding her. Unfortunately we had left the key in the inside lock, which meant our neighbour couldn’t gain access. A quick call to the Key Centre and Andy had our neighbour in within 20 minutes. Fabulous service.
