Never used Northwest Hardware before. Was given their website. I messaged them, received reply immediately after sending an image of what I needed. They sent a link to the part, this was exactly what... See more

Had the absolute pleasure of using these guys recently. After lock breakage on window I struggled to find a replacement lock after frantically scouring the internet I happened upon Northwest Hardware... See more

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Ordered two products based on their written recommendation. One great the other not so. Apparently they have never had an issue with the incorrect item and so insist on a re-stocking fee.

Daylight Robbery

Avoid these lot at all cost not worth your time. They charge VAT on postage paid by yourself and claims that they have to cos their courier does so. What a pile of BS it was. Refund received was less than half of what was paid. I can't wait to see this business go bust.

Please check your information before accusing us of "making money out of our customers" by charging VAT on carriage. As a VAT registered company it is a legal requirement for us to charge VAT on carriage charges. As with 95% of other mail order companies we are charged VAT by our courier companies. The defamatory comment is totally unnecessary and reflects more on you as a person than on us as a successful longstanding business employing 18 staff over 2no sites.

Absolutely horrendous company.

Absolutely horrendous company.
I don't have the time to waste giving a play by play but essentially:

Poor quality product
Have no idea about the law on distance selling
Terrible customer service and rude

Fortunately I can't imagine them surviving long with the terrible reviews they attract.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!!

Good Afternoon Tim,

Apologies you’ve had a bad experience.

In an effort to review the complaint, I have tried to locate any communication from you (searching from your review name - Tim Harris) but haven't managed to locate anything.

If you feel we've got something wrong, we're always happy to investigate further.

Company sent " an alternative "

Company sent " an alternative " to ordered item. My mum was told she would have to pay return postage ( if she didn't want to keep it) as it was the only option they had. But it didn't match the dimensions of the one already on the door.
After a brief telephone conversation with the CEO, Glenn Parrott, who initially was extremely impertinent And not how you would expect the managing director of a company to portray himself, when dealing with a customer complaint. Mr Parrott told me "everyone in the office at the side of him, were listening and laughing at my comments ( which I felt was quite rude and most unprofessional under the circumstances) and fed up of our calls,
(I had only rang ONCE!!!)

He then proceeded to offer to pay for postage up to £4 (bearing in mind they charge £6 for delivery) and even come and fit it himself, personally.
So we will see if they are true to their word.
I will post another review on the progress if the matter is resolved, but most importantly if my mum is happy with the outcome. She is an elderly lady who just wanted a new door handle, that fits.
Nothing more.

This company is a disgrace

This company is a disgrace; their actions demonstrate a clear attempt to avoid any responsibility. I initially ordered a handle from this company and everything seemed fine. However, upon ordering the same item again, everything changed. What I received from the Warrington branch was a short version, which was not what I wanted. When I raised a complaint, they exchanged it for a medium version, which was the same size but had a different screw position from the standard version. When I requested an exchange, the Warrington staff informed me that because I ordered online, they couldn't process an exchange. They advised me to first refund online and then place a new order. After I initiated the refund, I was shocked to discover a 20% fee deducted without prior notification. They claimed it was my mistake, denying me a full refund, and abruptly ended the conversation. I will never recommend this company.

Refused Refund - Trading Standards now involved!

Ordered some cylinders, which i ordered the wrong size. Was told to return for a full refund. They then said they would not refund as it was a 'special order.' The locks are not personalized, or keyed alike. Citizens advice have advised this is against DSR and consumer rights. Avoid at all costs! Reported to trading standards who will be investigating.

Reply to northwesthardswares comment

You are breaking consumer rights and distance selling regulations - I suggest you contact trading standards to confirm this yourself and stop breaking the law. I will be pursuing this further.

It’s also very interesting you reply on Trustpilot but not on email!

Customer ordered 9 oversized security cylinders via our website, which are clearly marked as non-returnable Special Order Items.
Whilst we're more than happy to accept returns within a reasonable timescale on standard stock lines, on this occasion we specifically ordered non-returnable goods from our supplier based entirely on information supplied by the customer. it's not really fair that the company should then be expected to bear the full cost because of the customer's inability to measure or order correctly., nor is it acceptable to be slating a small business for a mistake not of our making.

Misleading online shop

Ordered a GU electronic lock which clearly shows the electronics on the website but when it arrived the elctronics module was missing, I was then told it was an extra £180
since discovered they no longer do the lock with electronics and you do have to buy a generic electronic opener seperatly so why not show this on the website and remove the picture of it included?
I quoted the job on the website price so I now have to supply the electronics module at my own cost

Needed a multi lock and spare gearbox…

Needed a multi lock and spare gearbox for my door, its an oddball type and only Northwest Hardware seemed to stock it, to be sure I gave them a call and yeah, Warrington had one in stock and the spare gearbox ( spare because things break always on a weekend in my house ).

Chap at Warrington branch checked the measurements to be sure it was the correct parts and even offered to swap the gearbox over because this type of job is new to me. Hour later I was back home fitting it, works a treat. Very grateful for the advice offered and the way my order was dealt with, these guys know about locks !

Rubbish customer service

Rubbish customer service, avoid at all costs!!! Received a damaged item, when I tried to make arrangements for a replacement or refund I just got ignored. Ridiculous pricing for shipping also.

Seems strange that you have chosen to leave a 1 Star Review, the postage and packaging price is clearly shown prior to clicking the confirm order option. Refunded in full via PayPal. Not quite sure what more we as company could have done.

Had to take a door lock back as not working, I just want to say what a fantastic man Adam is, he was at the back listening to our dilemma and straight away came out with the tools to test the lock out and fixed it straight away, what fantastic customer service couldn’t thank him enough, the world would be a better place with more Adams in it, thank you so much Adam
