Key Cutting Shoe Repairs DIY & Hardware

Set on Brudenell Road, though lacking a decent name, this DIY shop and locksmiths must have helped out hundreds, if not thousands of students who have lost their keys in a drunken haze. As a DIY shop, it is not nearly as large as, say, the one around the corner, but no matter, they still have a few essentials lurking, you just can’t browse due to the teeny interior, you have to ask. The man behind the counter is always chirpy and helps where he can. Any shop keeper with a great sense of humour and a smile always goes down well with me. In fact, last time I was here, the guy cut a key for my mate. When he handed it over the counter after an impressive 20 second wait for it to be cut, we saw that the key he’d cut said ‘Pimp’ on it, the man couldn’t stop laughing, and neither could we. Easily pleased? Perhaps, but I wont forget him, or his shop!
