How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Chatham?

For an emergency lockout in Chatham we normally arrive within 15 to 25 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole ME4 and ME5 area — the town centre and Brook, the Historic Dockyard side, Walderslade, Luton and Wayfield — so wherever you are stuck, the closest engineer is dispatched straight away.

Do you cover the naval-era terraces as well as the Walderslade estates?

Yes. Chatham's dockyard history built long runs of Victorian terraces through the centre and Luton, joined by the big wooded estates of Walderslade and Lordswood up the hill. Our locksmiths carry parts for traditional mortice locks and nightlatches as well as multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors.

Are your Chatham locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Chatham is DBS checked and fully insured, carrying £2m public liability cover. You will always deal with a properly vetted, uniformed engineer, which matters when you are letting someone into your home late at night anywhere from the Brook to Walderslade.

What do you charge to change a lock in Chatham?

Changing a euro cylinder costs £89 to £129 depending on the barrel. A full mortice deadlock replacement on a timber door is £119 to £159. Whether you are in Chatham itself or just outside, the ME rate card is the same. Payment is on completion by card or cash, at the price agreed before we set off.

Which areas near Chatham do you cover?

Alongside Chatham itself we cover Walderslade, Lordswood, Luton, Wayfield and Brompton, plus the wider ME postcode area across the Medway towns. If you are anywhere between the river and the M2, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out near the Pentagon with two bags of shopping and no patience left. He arrived in about 15 minutes, had the door open in moments and even carried a bag up the step. Diamond.

Donna E. Emergency lockout
Changed every lock at our terrace in Luton after the previous tenant's keys never came back. Anti-snap cylinders fitted, keyed alike, invoice straight to the agent. Painless.

Marcus J. Lock change
uPVC door in Walderslade dropped over winter and stopped locking. Engineer realigned it and replaced the worn gearbox in under an hour. £115 with the part — like a new door.

Kirsty L. uPVC door repair
Break-in through the back while I was on shift at the hospital. They boarded it that night, fitted stronger locks next day and rang later in the week to check on us. Genuinely kind.

Simon P. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock in Wayfield before the school run. Out within 45 minutes, broken key extracted and a new cylinder fitted for £99. Quick, cheerful and tidy.
