Pesky Teenagers

Dear Steve,

Archway has used your skills many times over the last 3 years, you helped us by fitting locks, a security alarm, security rollers and securing all of my downstairs windows with bars.

My biggest challenge for you came last year when we found that the outside of our office was being used as a playground for teenagers who broke a window and trashed the outside of the building. They were quite a few who thought it fun to collect and hassle people working late and it was a really worrying for everyone.

You came up with a unique solution, which was a mosquito system that when it was turned on let out a high pitch noise that only the under 25s can hear, it meant that the local youths found it painful and stopped congregating around the office area.

I am pleased to say this is no longer an issue and the litter and damage has stopped almost completely.
Thank you so much for your help and I will recommend you to anyone with any security issues.

Friendly & professional service

Dear Steve

I am writing to thank you for the friendly & professional service recently provided by Abbeygate Locksmiths.

Having decided I needed to improve the security of my home & office, you surveyed the property & recommended an upgraded alarm system that extended into my home office.

This could be set up with separate alarmed areas, thus enabling us to set & disable the alarm system from separate locations in the house, as well as adding the required additional security to the office.

You provided a prompt & detailed quotation & once we agreed on a suitable time for installation, your fitter arrived on time & worked efficiently, with the minimum of disruption, Once the system was installed & tested, he then ensured I was happy with the set up & how
to use it before he finished.

I now have more secure premises, including the office & of course am more than happy to recommend Abbeygate Locksmiths to my family, friends & colleagues for their future security needs

Excellent- Professional and friendly service.

A problem with the front door to my block of flats was a security risk and possibly meant residents could not escape in an emergency.
This was sorted out very quickly and extra measures put in place to prevent the problem reoccuring.
When I asked if they could look at a separate issue with a banging door, they were more than happy to sort that out too!

Well done and thank you,

Brilliant service!

They turned up on time and managed to remove a massive antique safe that was stuck in my house preventing me from decorating. They worked very quickly and professionally. Would definitely recommend these guys. They could do what others found impossible!

Amazing

I had a different locksmith come out a couple of days previously and did an awful job. The locksmith that came out to me from this company (Alex) was honest, told me his professional opinion, not once mislead me and was able to answer all of my questions. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anybody without a doubt.

Paul Leader

Great service

Great professional and knowledgable service from Abbey Gate. I was locked out of my old 1920’s drinks cabinet before Christmas (?!) when the old key broke. Within 24 hours Abbey had made two replica keys which worked brilliantly. Thanks for saving Christmas :)P

I cannot recommend highly enough

A new inner hall door lock was fitted twice by another company and failed not once but both times.. After hearing about fully accredited Master Locksmiths I found Abbey Gate online, read their credentials and decided to try once more to solve the problem no matter the cost.
Abbey Gate Locksmiths responded immediately and sent an engineer who not only explained and duly remedied the lock problem but who also, on the way out noticed my front door lock was also not locking correctly and instead of shooting off having achieved his call out, stayed on and fixed that problem too! And, – it was not an easy to solve either (UVPC door frame slippage).
Ben was totally professional, respectful, (wore a mask, swept up, cleaned the door frame) very affable and I felt very comfortable with him in my home. It must also be noted that he spoke very highly of his employers. The charge for all this was most reasonable to boot.
I am very happy today that I called the correct company as my life has now truly been made so much easier. I am not accustomed to writing reviews but I will be calling Abbey Gate again in the spring to install my security arrangements, etc..which itself speaks volumes about my confidence in them.
Thank you Ben, thank you Abbey Gate Locksmiths.

Efficient and friendly

Calm and understanding on the phone when I called in a panic. Updated on time of arrival. Polite, efficient and friendly when carrying out the job. Tidied up afterwards… What more could you want?! Highly recommended

Mrs Porter

Excellent service from the first

Excellent service from the first expert advice by Mr. Stephen, who planned all the works needed, to the excellent installation of new security locks by his son Alexander and his team. Highly recommended, after 10 months from the works we are still extremely satisfied of Abbey Gate first class service ! Thank you !

Giovanni

Service that was excellent and put me at ease

I asked Abbey Gate if they could come and fit a mortice lock. Ben came the same day. His work was excellent and quick, He was also friendly and professional. His manager Alex gave me an option to discuss my options via WhatsApp before the work, and prices were even discussed and agreed upon. This is going above and beyond as far as I am concerned, as most locksmiths I spoke to that day were happy to turn up, not even knowing which locks I wanted before attending the job. Excellent service all round – Would definitely recommend.

First Class Service

I just want to say a massive thank you to Alex for helping me get a safe removed from an office we are due to vacate early next month. I’ve had so many headaches getting the office cleared out, companies not returning my calls or emails, its been a nightmare. Alex offered to come straight round to look at the safe and then it was removed the very next day. I’m so grateful and a job ticked off my list! Thank you again. Jo

Wonderful service – New locks

I was recommended Abbey Gate by a colleague and was extremely happy with their communication, punctuality, service and cost.

Fantastic service

Abbey Gate have been fantastic. They assisted me in obtaining a key for my new flat which I’d had difficulty sourcing elsewhere. The communications were quick, friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable. Delivery was secure and speedy too. I can’t thank Alexander enough. Would highly recommend them and have passed on details to my management company for any other owners having difficulty. Thanks again!

Excellent and efficient service

A huge thank you to Alex and Ben for making my front door more secure and changing a pane of glass in my patio doors which previously had a cat flap within it. From the initial visit to the day when the work was carried out, I received a very professional and helpful service. Thank you for making me feel safer and more secure in my new home. I would highly recommend Abbey Gate in the future.
