Recommended Suppliers?

The topic said it all really, can any one recommend some great online suppliers etc. in the UK or where ever really. Also can you recommend a decent key cutting machine and place to get one from for around £1000 :)

Thanks I am giving them a good looking over, I been searching around but you never really know if you are being ripped off or not so I thought why not ask the business men here :) I do appreciate your help :)

I don't know about locksmithing supplies over in the UK, but for picks and such UK lockpickers has a good reputation.

Thanks MBI, I found that site really helpful. Turns out some of the things I am going to purchase are a fraction of the price of the ones I was going to get else where. Some of the other things are a bit more then other places but all in all very good prices

You could also try www.keyprint.co.uk in Edinburgh, they are distributors for Wendt Tools and Peterson in UK.
www.duffells.co.uk, great for general locks and multi-point locks for upvc doors,

I see you are in Wales, Kings solutions in Cardiff for UPVC stuff and Universal Hardware in Swansea for all types of locks
SKS are also good.
I use all these and never really have any problems
