Frequently asked

How quickly can you get to Canterbury for lock changes & upgrades?+

Typical response across Canterbury (CT1, CT2) is 10-20 minutes. We'll give you an honest live ETA on the call rather than a generic "30 minutes" promise.

What customers across Kent say

"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. :)"
