Customer Feedback 2018
January 8, 2018
Here is our Priors Period Ironmongery feedback page for 2018. We hope some of the comments made in this and previous years feedback pages will give you confidence in the quality of our products and service. Being big Internet buyers ourselves we understand it can be a leap of faith to buy from an unknown website. We do not pretend everyone is happy (but hopefully nearly everybody!) as of course things can go wrong. If we do make a mistake we will try to sort it as soon as we can. We have been in business since 1997 and are based in rural South Shropshire.
If you need help we are on the end of the phone to answer any queries and we have many years of knowledge and product expertise. Our products can be more complicated than you first think and we are here to help. The most common technical queries we answer are related to door latches and locks, requirements for external doors, the correct size for door knobs, the use of door handles or door knobs, rim or mortise locks, spindle sizes, different types of window fastener, the supply of items outside our on-line range etc. If we can offer quality advice, we can save you time and carriage costs by getting your order right first time. If there is something we don’t know, we will do our best to find out! We can also answer questions on availability. Please consult our comprehensive blog where we have many articles to assist.
We purchase from suppliers who we have worked with for some years and who’s products we know meet the highest quality standards. We offer best quality traditional products and we stand by our products over time. Many items are English made, all bathroom accessories and many brass and nickel plated items. In this market you get what you pay for, beware cheaper items with poor quality castings, brass which is plated and not solid, poorly lacquered products etc etc. They will look bad and have a short life.
Customer feedback is really important and we thank our customers who take the time to make contact. To leave feedback just drop us an e-mail or leave a comment below. If you want to leave feedback on any review sites e.g. Google, this would be great too! Please refer to last years Customer Feedback 2017 for more comments.
It’s really nice to receive great customer service these days, so thanks again and we will certainly use you in the future, should we need door furniture.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is much appreciated.
Personal service on line – an unexpected pleasure … and a good product at a good price, with the order handled very efficiently
Thanks Vicki. You are very helpful.
Package arrived safe and sound. Really pleased with the nails by the way.
Thanks for all your help – and the great products. The solid unlacquered brass really makes a difference.
We’ve just had the brass items delivered. Thanks very much, they’re perfect.
Great company. Vicki Bale was more than helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
The Octagonal central door knobs are installed and look amazing, thank you so much for rushing them out to Kuala Lumpur for us! They arrived Monday morning and were installed Monday evening, just in time for Tuesday’s event. Again really appreciate your help!
Handles arrived safe and sound and excellent as usual. Thank you for such wonderful service.
Thanks Vicki for this very prompt response. The previous door knob set I ordered was just the job so I had no hesitation in ordering another 6!
Thanks Vicki
Excellent quality items and customer service and hence I’m ordering from you again
Many thanks.
The bell arrived today and we love it.
Always nervous that you buy furniture that doesn’t look right, but we are very happy with our decisions and how it all looks. Thank you.
Thank you for your extremely prompt response to my order.
Very excited, and looking forward to receiving my it in due course.
Oh joy of joys.
We have a beautiful set of your Art Deco handles adorning our front door.
They are functioning perfectly and it is such a pleasure to open the door without fear of major trauma.
I can now remove the disclaimer signs and advise my lawyers that there should be a reduction in the personal injury claims.
Thanks for all your help.
Thank you for all the fab door furniture you have supplied us with recently (and very nice personal communications with each order). We just had a joiner make us a new front door and all the nickel door furniture on it in the pic attached (apart from Yale lock) comes from your firm and loads of people in our street are commenting upon it – ‘classy’ and ‘tasteful’ are oft repeated comments! The door knob is really delicious to use. On the inside of the door, the fittings for the knob, knocker, and letter plate look very nice also (in fact, I’ve never in my life found the back of a front door to complement the front of the door so well).
There was no need to worry about the Royal Mail ‘cos the mailman hath cometh and what treasures he bore.
Excited I was.
A futuristic silver clad box, beautifully packed and enclosed within were brass handles to end all brass handles
They are the business. Attractive, solid and functional – a joy to behold.
Now I will reserve any further comments until they are fitted and doing the job for which they were designed.
Vicki, thank you very much. Great service!
Door handles are absolutely stunning. Exactly the look I’m after. Thanks for sorting those.
Product arrived today, really happy with it, top quality! I will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks Vicki.
Thank you. The espagnolette door handles look great, very pleased.

Incredibly efficient! Thank you. The sash fasteners arrived today and look great.
I managed to get to the post office and picked up the door knobs. I am so so pleased with them, they are absolutely gorgeous … I had better get a move on and paint the doors they are going on!

Just a quick note – the main part of my order has arrived this morning. I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the brass and just need the number ’10’ to complete the set! I really appreciated all your patience, advise and total professionalism, it has been a pleasure dealing with you.
