Rob Spinks5 StarWe had this company out to our house to help us with a UPVC door that would not lock.
We truly recommend Using Griffiths if you need any locksmith work doing.
Very helpful and well priced compared to others.
The locksmith (Tom was his name) fixed our front door replacing the mechanism and then even serviced a couple of windows and our back door.
Tom is a real credit to this company, he was very friendly, professional and very helpful
We Highly recommendMonday 4th April 2022

Malcolm Brownlie5 StarAs an executor I needed to access a Deed Box. Unfortunately there was no key!! So having been given some humendous quotes I popped into Griffith Security. The result was that the box was opened. OK they were not able to provide a key. But when I asked how much I was told it was opened quickly and there was no charge. Such service is rare to find and I would readily recommend such professional and helpful service. Now I've been able to see what's in the box, sadly not the crown jewels but can move on to winding up my relatives affairs. Thanks again Griffiths and a well meant thankyou.Wednesday 15th September 2021
graham joy1 StarWe waited nearly three working weeks for a quotation, which we never received; the “senior incompetent” had gone on holiday after taking my instructions. We were then told on three separate occasions that we would be receiving a quotation from Tom, then Richard and finally Simon who had just returned from holiday. As I complained about this delay asking if :-
“they didn’t want the business or was it just gross incompetence”
The response I finally received from Simon, the senior incompetent, was to virtue signal, showing utter arrogance by accusing me of “being vexatious and that they have a zero tolerance policy of aggression and abuse” I can only assume that was how my texted complaint was received.
The zero tolerance is of course being called out for an unprofessional response, incompetence and for the zero customer service. A total and utter waste of time.Thursday 17th June 2021
