On locking ourselves out, we rang Blake’s, Mr Blake arrived so quickly! The door was opened in seconds, and whilst he was there, changed our lock, so we couldn’t make the same silly mistake again of leaving our key in the door! He also called back immediately, with more keys cut for us! From the phone call to the locks being sorted, was perfect professional service! We have used Blake’s before, and we would not use anyone else! I just wish every company was this efficient! Just a very trustworthy company!

I attended Blake’s shop today with and old but expensive security lock. Although the lock could not be replaced Dean took the time and trouble to dismantle the lock and rebuild it from other parts he had. Dean is an absolute credit to the company and if other members are as good and dedicated the Blake’s deserve all the success in the world. Well done Dean

The locking mechanism on an outside door failed on a Saturday afternoon making the house insecure. My telephone call was answered very quickly and the lady to whom I spoke was very helpful and reassuring, arranging a locksmith's visit for that same afternoon. He arrived very quickly, and immediately diagnosed the fault. He showed us the failed component and offered a choice of replacements. We agreed that he would replace the faulty lock with a high quality 3* British Standard Anti-Bump/Pick/Snap security cylinder. He took the door locking strip to the company workshop and returned extremely quickly with the new locking system installed, together with the number of keys we required. and new handles. This was fitted to the door. He checked that the lock was operating smoothly and that the door was closing snugly. The job was competitively priced for this high-quality product and for the faultless workmanship. The locksmith was friendly and courteous throughout and did not rush the job. I have known this company for 40 years and would give them the highest possible recommendation.

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.

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.

I have used Blakes for many years but most recently for the installation of new alarm system and new locks throughout the property and a safe. From start to finish they have all been consummate professionals and have put me at ease. From the young man in the shop who supplied me brochures and talked me through my options at length, to the lady on the phone who was extremely courteous and made us aware throughout the whole job when people would arrive. James & Jacob who fitted our alarm were so professional and tidy. I had expected a lot of mess from the work but the house was left immaculate which was a huge relief! I am truly delighted with all of the work and the quality of all the equipment installed is top-notch and looks very smart. Mr Blake is extremely knowledgeable and has given me an exceptional amount of time allaying my worries and giving advice. At no point was pushed in any way or to get anything that was not required. The whole team are a delight!

My UPVC kitchen door had decided to remain permanently closed and locked. I phoned Blakes and explained the issue. At their request I sent some pictures by email so that they could identify the door type and components. An appointment was made for the next day. The engineer arrived on time. The locking mechanism was removed and a new gearbox was installed and all necessary adjustments and lubrication made. The repairs were explained. The service was professional with proper regard to my home. I am writing this after receipt of the invoice. The price charged was good value for the excellent service on site and the administration at the office. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend their services to others.

Whilst Blakes may not be the cheapest, their products and the workmanship are excellent. Great work. Friendly staff. We would have no hesitation using Blakes in the future and highly recommend them.

I first contacted Blakes Security as an emergency callout due to the alarm beeping. James arrived and after fixing the fault checked the entire system, making recommendations for an upgrade. I then had to call again for a lock repair and Mr.Blake arrived in 10 minutes to fit a temporary barrel so we were able to use the door! After James' visit and sound advice, I decided to go ahead with the first stage of work to the property. This was completed in a most professional manner with minimal disruption. Whilst here they adjusted the timing of the sensor motions on floodlights as well. We discussed options for additional work which will be completed at second stage. I am confident that further visits will meet the high standard of professional expertise that Blakes have demonstrated. I certainly would not hesitate to recommend this excellent Company to anyone!

The multi-point lock on the back door at my parent's house failed late in the afternoon. I was at work about 3 hours drive away, so called Blakes in Strood at 4.30pm. At 5pm one of their engineers arrived on his way home, and fixed the lock to make the house secure again. They were very honest in advising getting a new door as further repairs would be uneconomical due to the age of the existing door and scarcity of parts. Have used Blakes before and am always reassured by their openness and sound advice. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone needing an honest appraisal of work needed.

The multipoint lock on our double glazed front door broke so we could not lock it. We have porch doors so we were still secure. Mr Blake came as arranged, removed the very old looking device with some difficulty, and as we are old and decrepit and had a doctors appointment the next day, went off to find a replacement, returned and continued working until the job was completed.
