"Morgan was very thorough and replaced outdoor locks and indoor as well as adjusted the doors for our home which he did with care and accuracy. He went above and beyond and pricing was very reasonable! Great service and honestly one of the best locksmiths I have ever used. Highly recommended!"

"Morgan came out to me quickly to look at a broken front door lock. He was able to replace the lock quickly, and carried out some routine maintenance on the door mechanism to ensure it was all working smoothly. A very quick and efficient service from a nice lad who clearly likes his work and has pride in the service he provides."

"Very efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. Morgan is a problem solver and clearly loves a challenge. He went out of his way to get original parts and even came back on Sunday to finish the job. Highly recommended."

"Morgan mended my very old back door which had stopped shutting properly and which was seeming a little insecure. He also adjusted all the windows so that they open smoothly. (Quite a few had 'dropped' and were catching in a way that made them hard to close). He did a super job for me at a very reasonable price. I'm delighted! Thanks Morgan. A charming and very obliging guy. Shall be recommending him whenever the opportunity arises."

"Thankfully we didn't have a 'locksmith emergency' but we did have some door locks that needed to be replaced. Morgan was very attentive and friendly, answering our calls quite late and responding very early too. He did a great job. He made one small mistake, which he took full accountability for, returning first thing the next day to rectify it. We'll definitely use him again. :)"

"So happy with the service! My door just jamed and locked me inside this morning, he came out quickly to fix it. Super friendly and professional, and explained everything as he worked. The door opens and closes perfectly now. Really appreciate the great work and would definitely call him again."

Car keys FAQ

How much is a spare car key?+

Most modern keys are supplied, cut and programmed on site. We confirm the exact fixed price on the phone once you give us the reg, no surprises on arrival.

I have lost every key, can you still help?+

Yes. All keys lost is a routine job for a properly equipped auto locksmith. We generate a brand new key from your immobiliser data at your car, no main dealer visit and no tow needed.

Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles?+

Yes, including Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, Trafic, Boxer, Ducato, Crafter, Master and Iveco Daily. We also fit slam locks, deadlocks and hook locks to protect your tools overnight.

My ignition barrel is worn or won't turn, can you fix it?+

Yes. Worn wafers and seized barrels are one of the most common jobs we run. We repair or replace the ignition and re-key it to your existing key wherever possible, so you don't need a whole new key set.

Will you damage my car?+

No. We use proper automotive lockout tools, wedges and long reach kit, never a slim jim on modern airbag wired doors. Ignition and steering lock work is done without harming the surround or column.

Where do you cover?+

Based in Canterbury, covering every CT postcode plus ME10, ME13, TN23-TN28 and surrounding areas 24/7. Call 07848 426 374 for a live ETA.
