About us

Dockerills is a thriving family business situated in the North Laine area of Brighton. Although the site of the Brighton shop has changed over the years, it has been part of the town's business community for as long as most Brightonian’s can recall.
A growing stock of products & services has ensured the shop offers a traditional and fascinating shopping experience in the tradition of historic ironmongers and hardware stores.
The business was established over 100 years ago by Mr Walter Dockerill, carried on by his son Mr Walter Harry Dockerill and is now owned by his son Mr Malcolm Dockerill who with his wife Brenda, daughters Karen and Jo and son-in-law Ryan continue the family tradition… check out our ‘History’ section for more information.
Dockerills has an enviable reputation for friendly personal service and for a vast range of products in stock. Whatever you want...be it a single screw, a key cut or a complete door entry system Dockerills will have it or attempt to source for you.
Our experienced staff are on hand to give prompt expert advice and assistance to both trade customers and the general public.
