We commissioned Blakes Security to install a security door. They provided a quotation promptly and came on the agreed date to complete the work in a professional manner.

I called them to fit new locks to secure my mother-in-law's vacant home. They were responsive to the urgency, fitting us into a cancellation and considerate about timing given we had a two hour journey to get there. On the day, Mr Blake arrived promptly. He immediately established that the locks on the rear doors did not need to be changed to make the premises secure, saving us a lot of money. He was efficient in changing the lock on the front door and adjusting the door frame for a better, more secure fit.

Blakes Security supplied 5 exterior Chubb door locks, 2 of which turned out to be faulty (manufacturing error), after notifying them Blakes immediately promised to replace the faulty locks, and they would raise the issue with the manufacturers. Cliff Blake arrived on my doorstep at 7:30 am in Northants. to replace the two faulty locks having driven from the Medway area - a drive of 2hrs. Superb customer care and support.

I had 4 locks replaced. They fitted my work in very quickly and kept me informed when there was a 30 minute delay. The price was very reasonable.

I contacted Blakes in early 2019 to quote on a replacement eight locks in four doors, with a master key system. My first contact with the company was on the phone, and I was impressed by how helpful they were even with a tentative enquiry. Shortly after this conversation I visited the shop on Medway City Estate and was once again impressed with the level of customer service provided - I had lots of questions and care was taken over answering each one. In the following fortnight Blakes visited my home to survey and quote, and the work was carried out within two months - all according to the quote and agreed timeline. Everyone who I dealt with throughout was very polite and helpful, and the work was carried out quickly. Subsequent to the installation I had a problem with one lock on my front door resulting in me being locked out. I called Blakes about this and the owner of the company was on site within an hour - and the problem was fixed permanently. I have nothing but good things to say about Blakes - I'll be returning to them for any and all future security requirements.

This company is in my opinion extremely expensive! My advice to anyone wishing to use them is to get an estimate first! And hold them to it! I have been sent an invoice for over £500 for a lock repair! If I had had a typed estimate up front, at least I could have shopped around for more cost effective quotes. The work is done, the lock is working but I do feel as though I’ve been taken advantage of. The customer service is fine, the quality we will just have to keep our fingers crossed. Just saying.

The trader replied (on 11/05/2021)
Thank you for your recent review, we are concerned to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the bespoke works that were recently undertaken at your property. As informed, your failed broken multipoint lockcase was an import only product and not available on the UK market. Therefore, to be able to provide you with a secure solution, it was necessary to use multiple components from a number of centre cases of similar manufacturers, modify parts, fabricate associated followers and rebuild your centre case to enable an effective resolution. We also provided a temporary lockcase, to keep the door secure whilst we found this solution. You were informed of our labour rate, but due to the technicalities and the component compatibilities, an exact labour and material costing could not be generated. We stand by the price charged and believe this is a fair costing considering the amount of time involved, the various parts used and the necessary modification made to achieve the overall bespoke outcome installed at your property. Once more, we are sorry you feel that you have been ‘taken advantage of’, our value of service, workmanship and the quality of our products is our upmost priority.

We are currently refurbing the original 1930 doors in our house and was having trouble finding new door catches as the size is no longer standard. Went to Blakes, who advised us that the originals would clean up and cleaned one up to show us. They put customer service before getting a sale.

Blake’s Security Systems provide an excellent professional service. Mr Blake provides the perfect system to suit your own personal needs. The fitting was done calmly and highly efficiently. There were no issues with them in my home and they were very polite and showed extreme professionalism. When they left my home it was spotless and there was no evidence of any work being carried out. They cleaned as they went along. I would highly recommend this company and am a very happy and highly satisfied customer.

Very good and quick service. Needed a lock changed on an internal door which I had not had keys for since I bought the property. Blakes were very quick to respond to my query and give me a quote upfront. The work was done quickly, professionally and to a high standard. All very good.

We have recently moved to a new home and needed the locks changing. I called not really knowing what we needed. They came and gave a quote that afternoon, explained what we needed and the options available. All explained well and with no pressure to use their services. We chose what we wanted and our doors were all done a day later. Very friendly, speedy and followed COVID guidelines. Thank you!
