We contacted Alban locksmiths on 3rd May and they attended the site on time as agreed the next morning. We have a bifold door with a very 'crunchy' lock that didn't always close and lock. Alban locksmiths attended and investigated the lock, he isolated the issue and said he would try to repair the damaged section on site otherwise it would require replacing. Our engineer worked diligently on the part to repair it ( saving us a new part cost) and then refitted the part and tested for correct operation. The engineer was knowledgeable and undertook all the work in under one hour. He was efficient and left our house clean and exactly as he found it We wish we had called them earlier as we now have a lovely, smooth actioned lock that opens and closes perfectly every time. We recommend Alban locksmiths wholeheartedly and will use them in the future for any works we require and will recommend them to our friends and neighbours.

Our front door lock failed and Nick responded quickly. He assessed the problem was not the lock but a broken hinge causing misalignment. He made the door secure and lockable and recommended a new hinge. Nick brought a new set of hinges for the multi lock door, but was able to do a permanent job with only one. This saved us a significant amount of money. Therefore I endorse Alban Locksmiths as a very honest company and will use and recommend them in the future. Nick was very professional, pleasant and tidy.

Needed to replace the bottom lock on a glass door in one of the shops at Heritage close, Timpson locksmiths attended but said the glass door needed to be taken off to change the lock so declined job, Called Alban locksmiths who promptly sent a chap round, had the new lock fitted within 20 minutes. Such great friendly service by the best locksmiths in the area. Will be using them again for all our door and lock needs. Thank you so much Roy

Really professional and friendly people, always do a great job at my house. I'm ok at DIY but have had to call Alban Locksmiths three times in the last few years when I have had a really technical problem with a lock; each time they have been so willing to look at the job, which has never been straightforward, and they have always completed the job carefully and to an excellent standard. This latest job for them was a 20 year old lock and handle which was truly falling apart, I could no longer repair it, so they painstakingly took it apart and rebuilt it, adding some improvised new parts as they went. I've used their retail shop several times, again excellent people in there giving great help and advice.

Alban Locksmiths came to look at a lock to our front door that was no longer working. They arrived promptly, explained clearly what was wrong with the lock that needed replacing, carried out the work quickly and efficiently and cleaned up well afterwards. They were very polite and considerate and very easy to deal with.

We required the lock on our patio doors to be replaced. The locksmith came round within one hour of my making an enquiry at the shop and the lock was fixed later that day once the required part had been received. Everyone from Alban Locksmiths was very helpful and the locksmith did an excellent job on our door. Thank you for a very prompt and efficient service.
