Are you a local Kent locksmith?

Yes. Locksmiths in Kent is a Kent-based locksmith service covering Maidstone, Canterbury, the Medway towns, Ashford, Dartford, Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages. Full detail on how we operate is set out in our Terms.

Are your locksmiths insured, DBS checked and vetted?

Yes. Our locksmiths are DBS checked, identity verified and hold current public liability insurance. Certificates are held on file, re-verified regularly and can be produced on request at your door.

How much does a domestic locksmith cost?

Prices vary by job type, time of day and any parts required. We provide a fixed quotation on the phone before attending. The quoted price is the price on the invoice.

I'm locked out. How quickly can someone attend?

Typical arrival time across Kent is 30 to 45 minutes, day or night. You'll get an accurate estimate on the call, based on your location and the nearest available locksmith.

Can the door be opened without damaging the lock?

In the majority of cases, yes. We're trained in non-destructive entry techniques and only escalate to drilling if a lock is genuinely faulty, and always with your prior consent.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. We operate 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays for domestic emergencies including lockouts, break-ins and lock failures.

Can you replace locks after a burglary?

Yes. Burglary calls are prioritised for immediate attendance. We re-secure the property and install British Standard, insurance-approved replacement locks. Recommendations for future security upgrades can be provided on request.

Do you work with uPVC and composite door locks?

Yes. uPVC and composite door mechanisms are among the most common repairs we carry out. We stock and fit multipoint locks, gearboxes, cylinders and handles from all major manufacturers.

Do you fit British Standard and anti-snap locks?

Yes. BS3621-compliant mortice locks and TS007 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders are available on request. These meet the requirements of most UK home insurance policies.

We accept card, bank transfer and cash on completion. The fixed price is confirmed on the phone before any work begins.

Lock repairs

Stiff handles, keys that need turning multiple times, misaligned latches. Diagnosed and corrected at the source rather than simply replaced.

Locked out at 11pm with my little one asleep in the car. They picked up straight away and had me back inside within the hour. Calm, kind and absolutely no damage to the door. Fair price for a late night call out too.

Fitted new British Standard locks on two of my rentals in one afternoon. Fair price, tidy work and sent me the insurance certificates the same evening. Have already booked them for a third property.

Our uPVC front door stopped locking properly and I was worried it would be a big job. The engineer replaced the multipoint mechanism the same day and explained everything clearly. Genuinely professional and polite.

Called after an attempted break in. They arrived within 40 minutes, secured the house that night and came back the next morning to upgrade to anti snap cylinders. Cannot thank them enough for the peace of mind.

Snapped my key in the back door on a Sunday evening. Answered the phone straight away, gave me a fixed price on the call and turned up in under an hour. Lovely bloke, quick job, sorted.

Moved into a new build and wanted all the locks changed for peace of mind. Great communication from the first call, arrived on time and left everything spotless. Price matched the quote exactly.

Landlord recommended them after a tenant lost their keys. Was there within the hour, gained entry without damage and cut new keys on the spot. Honest, friendly and reasonably priced. Saved in my contacts.

Had a dodgy handle on the patio door that would not lock. Diagnosed it in five minutes, had the part in the van and sorted it there and then. No upsell, no nonsense. Exactly what you want from a local trades person.
