Intrested in how our locksmiths work and the jobs they do in the Thames and Lodden valley? Abbey Gate recently sent a locksmith to install an entry system to a number of doors at a school in Wiltshire. Abbey Gate provides security solutions and expert advice for everything relating to windows and doors.
One of the oldest written documentations of an ancient lock was provided by Italian architect Joseph Bonomi (1739-1808). In his works he describes a lock found at the Palace of Sargon (part of the Assyrian Empire of the 700's BC). The lock described is similar to 4000 year old Egyptian locks that have been found.
Abbey Gate's workshops are in Caversham Heights located just outside Reading on the Berkshire/Oxfordshire border. The facility is fondly known as the "Caversham lock and safe works" and has a wide range of facilities that sets us apart from all other local locksmiths in the home counties. Our facility feature two bench workshops kitted out to perform all types of locksmith works.
You may, or may not be aware of the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) and its role within our community. Our membership is very important to us not only for our company, but our industry, the public and fellow members. We strongly feel communities need to know more about the MLA and so encourage the public to familiarise themselves with the association.

Called Abbey Gate this morning as we had accidentally locked ourselves out of our house but were on the way out for the day. We asked that they meet us back at the house when we returned later that day and they were on time, did a great job and charged a fair price. We have a 7 month old baby so needed to get back inside so would have been quite lost without them. Ben was super efficient, friendly and professional. Can highly recommend Abbey Gate for all your locksmithing needs. Thanks again guys.

Door handle was spinning around and multipoint lock wasn't working. Luckily I was inside the house and could open the door. Chap came out in no time. Diagnosed the problem. Fixed it there and then. Door lock absolutely sound and working perfectly. Glad I chose a proper approved locksmith. Honest, fair pricing (not a rip-off merchant). Will 100% definitely use them again in the future. Highly recommended.

I had a problem with my uPVC door lock. Thought I could fix it myself by changing the barrel, but no. Time to stop messing with it - don't want to break something! I called these guys, and they gave me an idea what the fault might be and quoted their rates (very reasonable). The guy turned up when he said, wearing facemask etc etc, and had it sorted in half an hour, with no parts required. I chose Abbey Gate as they are members of the Master Locksmiths Association - there's a lot of cowboys out there, so it's worth looking for someone reputable who won't 'build the job up' or rip you off. I'd recommend

We contacted Abbey Gate Locksmiths for advice and help with a quote following an extortionate bill and terrible encounter with rapid-locksmiths.co.uk. Abbey Gate were very responsive and kind and gave us a quotation and sound advice. Abbey Gate have shown that we were overcharged by a phenomenal amount by rapid-locksmiths.co.uk (who are in fact NOT Rapid Locksmiths in Sheffield). Rapid Locksmiths charged us £440 for a job which was at max chargeable at £106 plus vat !!! Thanks to Abbey Gate and other MLA registered locksmiths for helping us to put a stop to rapid-locksmiths.co.uk who threatened
