G. D. (. &. L.

Was an excellant shop for both trade, DIY and the occasional purchaser. Such a shame after 162 years selling out only for the business to be mismanaged thereafter. The community have lost such a well known and respected Hardware Store that need not have closed at all.

"Expert Locksmiths & Architectural Ironmongers, since 1856" says it all about this wonderful shop. Bought some brass bits and pieces - quick and easy. Friendly efficient staff. Check opening times. Easy access.

Great shop with lots and lots and lots of door hardware on display, and even more catalogues for even more choice. The staff were very helpful and polite. All ready had my eyes on some smart looking black handles for a hacked IKEA set of drawers I'll be working on soon.

This place is just off the main Western Road, Hove. I used it to get some door locks which work well. There is a great range of locks, handles and related products at good prices. Staff are much more friendly and helpful than at the big superstores. If you want good, old fashioned service and the right choice of purchase come to this establishment.

Had an excellent amount of stock to choose from for ironmongery for doors and windows plus all the locks and other hardware you needed for a project. Been waiting the reopening, since it changed hands some two years ago, I had hoped it would continue in its traditional old fashioned ways. Such a shame to have now lost such an independant hardware store.

This is a gem of a shop - I don't know another shop like Banfields. The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. The shop itself is charming. If you look closely the walls are made of hundreds of tiny handmade drawers containing the stock. It's in a tucked away location but there are always folk in there, both trade and retail - I'm glad it's not just a few of us who appreciate unique independent stores like this .

I ve heard that Banfiels will not be re opening. So sorry to hear this. Its a sad story for many reasons. Yet another covid 19 victim. 178 years open and now closed. Another niche store gone. I do hope the staff are okay. Best Mark.

Below is my previous review which needs to be updated - since covid-19 Banfield's has disappeared from this address. What a pity? Great service and choice. They have the items that you just can't find elsewhere.

Best hardware store ever. Very friendly staff that know their stuff, stocking almost anything you could need. Like going back in time, in a good way!

Exceptionally good, traditional over the counter service used by local people like landlords, property developers, builders & those in the know. I recommend 'Banfields' to all my customers & anyone who will listen. The general public are just as welcome. Even if you take their time up asking for a low value item they will happily recommend something and sell it to you or cut a key etc. I have being going there for nearly 20 years and never had a single problem, only the highest levels of service.

S. R.

Fantastic traditional retailer, huge selection of door furniture, handles, locks etc, all of which you can actually see. Great professional advice from knowledgeable staff.

Best locksmith in town! Forget any other in Hove or Brighton. They are helpful and professional! I went there today after going to a not so good one in Hove. This team were excellent! Thank you.
