Frequently Asked Questions — Folkestone

  • How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Folkestone?

    Typical response across CT19 and CT20 is 15-25 minutes. Engineers cover the town centre, the Creative Quarter and the Leas from the Canterbury side, so most calls near the seafront are reached well within that window.

  • Can you help if I'm locked out of a flat on the Leas?

    Yes. The Victorian conversions along the Leas clifftop promenade often have original rim locks or aged euro cylinders, and we're on those doors regularly. Our engineers pick the lock open non-destructively wherever possible, so there's usually no damage to a period front door.

  • Are your Folkestone locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

    Every engineer sent to Folkestone is DBS checked and carries £2m public liability insurance, plus photo ID you're welcome to check on the doorstep. It matters on the older Sandgate Road and Old High Street properties where trust and careful work go hand in hand.

  • How much is it to change a lock in Folkestone?

    A common job is a TS007 3-star euro cylinder, which is £89 to £129 supplied and fitted depending on the size and brand. That's the anti-snap standard insurers and the police prefer, and the price is confirmed before any work starts.

  • Which areas around Folkestone do you cover?

    As well as CT19 and CT20 Folkestone, the same engineers serve Hythe, Sandgate, Cheriton and out toward the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton. If you're not sure your postcode is covered, call 0330 179 6077 and we'll confirm before dispatching.

What Our Customers Say

  • Locked out of my flat off the Old High Street after a night in the Creative Quarter. Engineer was there in about twenty minutes, opened it with no damage, £59 paid on the doorstep.
    Ryan C. Emergency lockout
  • Front door cylinder on our Leas conversion had worn to the point the key barely turned. Swapped for an anti-snap TS007 3-star same afternoon, £115 all in and a tidy job.
    Priya S. Lock change
  • The sea air down in Sandgate had wrecked the multipoint gearbox on our uPVC back door and it wouldn't lock. The engineer arrived with the right unit, stripped the mechanism out and had a new one in within the hour. Everything lines up and locks smoothly again now, £139 and worth every penny.
    Gareth L. uPVC door repair
  • Attempted break-in overnight on the back door, splintered frame and a bent cylinder. Phoned early, engineer on site before nine, boarded the gap, fitted two anti-snap cylinders and made it secure again. Came to £245 including the board.
    Deborah M. Burglary repair
  • Snapped key in the front door of the Cheriton house on a Sunday. Fast callout, new lock fitted, £55.
