I have been using Alban Locks many times over the years and they are brilliant at what they do . They find solutions to just about anything and at a very fair price too. I rang Alban Locks in the morning as I had a problem with my 30 year old French doors that were not locking. Mikey arrived in the afternoon, keeping me updated by phone. He quickly made some adjustments so I was able to lock it . Then the following day he brought his colleague Martin along to make further adjustments saving me from having to replace any parts. Both Mikey and Martin are exceptional at their trade and they turn up when they say they will and are open and honest. This is what I call gold standard service and I wouldn’t go anywhere else !

Bifold door handle replacement

My bifold door handle fell off in Oct 2024 so I have been unable to open the door. After looking at various options, my friend recommended Alban Locksmiths. The locksmith, Mickey, did one site visit on Friday last week to review the handle and locking mechanism, discussed potential options of trying to source another handle, drilling into the frame etc. He took some photos and details about the manufacturer etc. He came back today, after doing further research with a replacement handle and fixed it to the door. I’m so happy with the service I’ve had from Alban Locksmiths. Mickey did a great and I can now open the door in time for the next heatwave!

Micky did a great job on quickly replacing my back door lock gearing mechanism. Took a couple of days to order in the bespoke mechanism, but all went in perfectly and first time. The entire job took just 40 minutes and came in right on budget. Full 1yr guarantee gives me the peace of mind I need. Highly recommended!

Alban Locks provided us with two, new complete sets of lock for our office premises. They were able to advise us what might be suitable in terms of security and practicality of use. They did not advise us to change things unnecessarily and were genuinely interested in doing a good job. John was even able to supply us with a custom-made key for our Victorian building, which he worked on by hand, all in all very impressive. Thank you.

We have just moved house and I needed to change our locks. I contacted Tracy at Alban Locksmiths and she confirmed a call out appointment for the very next day. Mikey came out, perfectly on time (he did actually call me 3 minutes before to let me know he was on his way) and did a sterling job. He advised on the correct locks for our front door and our french doors, he didn't try to upsell or add on stuff we didn't need. He was lovely and chatty, completed the work within half an hour and took a copy of our front door key back to the shop to get more copies done on my request. Such brilliant service from the whole team. Highly, highly recommend.

They are very close to me so I went to their confidence inspiring bricks and mortar presence. Although I told them that it was not an emergency I received a call later that day and booked for the next day. They called to check before arrival and quickly and efficiently sorted the problem. I was half expecting expensive replacements but the door was opened and the existing mechanism was removed, repaired and refitted. Clear and professional knowledge of an old locking system. An obvious go to if future lock problems.

I wanted to change the lock on my existing front door to make it more secure. The manager of the shop had to do some research for me in order to provide the correct fittings and handles. He also explained to me why the job was not entirely straightforward but after a few days he got back to me with good news that he had found the appropriate kit that would fit my door. We fixed up a date and time; their engineer turned up promptly and had changed the lock in 15 minutes. He also gave me good advice about using the new lock. Best of all, I was expecting the bill to be much higher because I live about 25 miles from their shop. Well done Alban Locksmiths.

Can't recommend enough! Called them Friday morning as my 92yr old Father's front door lock was old and worn. The Carers were struggling to lock/unlock it. Took photos, sent to them, they messaged back immediately, I explained the situation was fairly urgent and they said they would be out within a couple of hours! So helpful, polite and considerate to my Dad. The work was carried out to a high standard and very reasonably priced £108 for a new barrel, 5 keys and the labour. I couldn't be there but to be honest I didn't need to be. Absolutely fantastic service, thank you so much!
