Well, let me tell you - this is the one I'd recommend most in the town centre. I've always had a good, prompt, professional service here and the keys they cut have always worked for me and my friends. However, these guys aren't just your average key cutters. They also offer a heap of other services to do with keys such as opening safes and vaults, provide security consultancy and install expensive security products such as alarm systems and cameras. Now I've never needed any of those services, but if I did, I'd start by looking here as I've always had a professional response from them whenever I've been in there. Nice.

There is nothing glamorous about a locksmith; they do a menial task that no one else can do. Ever…read morebeen in that situation when you lost your keys and your mobile phone? These are the guys you call to get you back into the warmth of your pad. They are your saviours if you are locked out in the cold British weather. On the one occasion I locked myself out of my flat I decided to call my landlord first to see if he had a spare pair. When I spoke to him he told me that he couldn't and he advised that I call and pay for a locksmith. I looked these guys up in the phonebook (yes I know, should have been Yelp!) and I called this business. They told me that they could come out the next day or straight away as an emergency. As I had nowhere else I wanted to go I decided for the same day service which turned out to be a little pricier. I had to wait for two hours for them to arrive, and once they did I was not in the best of moods. I made a bit of chit chat, but my mind was on getting in and once we did I was relieved. Overall I'd say I was pleased with the service I received, but in the morning I woke up and found the keys in my wardrobe. Take care of your keys, if you don't you may end up in a pickle like I was.

My favourite brown oxfords had worn down to the point I was worried that they might wear through to the sole of my foot. So on a quest to find a suitable place to perform the repair on my beloved shoes, I was pointed in the direction of the Piccadilly Cobbler. I fantasised that I might have been greeted with some cockney rhyming slang and a nod of a flat cap, unfortunately my fantasy was not realised, but nonetheless he swiftly returned my shoes to their former glory as I wandered around town. Some things just can't be replaced sentimentally, aesthetically and economically so in the instance of waning soles here you have a cobbler. Good day.

A colourful array of potted flowers fill the pavement in front of the shop, and in the windows is a raggle taggle array of DIY goods and what could be labelled "leisure goods", such as tents. It's this assortment of other bits and bobs that makes Abasi possibly worth choosing over other key cutters in the area. It has the intrigue of a second hand shop. The key cutting side of the business works well enough, but if you live in the Selly Oak/Stirchley area and you're in the market for some lock fittings or roof adhesive, this is probably a good place to start.

I recently visited again yesterday as we were struggling to lock the door from the inside, and was looking for a new lock/barrel (which I was about to spend £40/50 on). Instead of taking advantage or selling me something I didn't need, he asked questions, gave advice, and quickly realised that it was fine and just needed a clean. The lock was sprayed/cleaned and was good as new. Didn't have to spend a penny! Very knowledgeable and genuinely nice guy. Please support local! Couldn't have asked for more.
