Darby's Locksmiths

07/08/2025

Most of you know I moved away nearly 2 years ago now. Unfortunately this left a bit of a gap in Hastings which has been nicely filled by BB locksmiths who I personally trained. However I have been getting reports from a number of sources of some new auto locksmiths in The area that are causing serious problems. Please be aware of who you use! If someone sounds cheap there is usually a good reason for it. Often inferior parts are used and worse they often don’t know what they are doing so are trying to learn on your vehicle. This is not normal practise amongst locksmiths so please ensure you are using legitimate well trained people. If someone is half the price of your other quotes you have to question why. Please see this post from BB locksmiths which shows just one out of many examples of poor work in the area. Please stick to recommended locksmiths. I will always recommend BB locksmiths in Hastings for all your locksmith needs. Please ensure you contact him And even if Barry can’t get to you he knows who in the area can be trusted so will always be willing to recommend another trusted locksmith.

This post shows the danger of using a “cheap” quote which can often cost you more in the long run. Thankfully & have been working well together to help those in the area who have been impacted by shoddy work so keep up the good work guys.

To all my old customers. If you are unsure of anything please contact Barry who will be happy to offer advice and quotes where needed. He’s a top guy and you will be well looked after.

As mentioned previously Barry from BB locksmiths will be taking over from me so if you require any auto locksmith work moving forward Barry will be able to help. He will be completing his initial training this week and will be ready and raring to go next week. Please support him like you all have me through the years. He’s a great guy and I am confident he will look after all my customers just the way I have over the years. He will be contactable on my old number for those of you who have that. I will also share his own number and more details here during the course of the week. Thanks everyone for your support. Here’s a job he did earlier replacing a faulty steering lock for a seat Leon. I will share some more work this week that Barry will be doing so you can start to get to know him and recognise him. Once again I’d like to personally thank all my customers for their support over the years and I’m happy to be able to help Barry on his locksmith journey too.
