Common reasons people in Medway call us

  • Locked out of home or rental. Lost keys, broken keys, or door slammed shut. Non-destructive entry within 20 minutes typical.
  • uPVC door won't lock. Multipoint mechanism failed — common in victorian terraces and 1960s estates after years of use. Same-day repairs.
  • Lock change after moving in. Standard practice in Medway rentals and new home purchases. BS3621 insurance-rated locks available on the van.
  • Burglary or attempted break-in. Emergency boarding-up overnight, full lock replacement next morning. We work directly with insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Medway

  • What does your Medway locksmith service cover?

    Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door repairs, key extractions, burglary repairs, and BS3621 insurance-grade installs. We don't touch car keys or safes, only residential and small commercial doors.

  • 24-hour service across the Medway towns?

    Yes, every day including bank holidays. Same number overnight. Out-of-hours calls are routed to whichever engineer is nearest your ME postcode at the time.

  • How long for a standard lock change?

    Around 30 to 45 minutes for a single euro cylinder. Longer for anti-snap upgrades or BS3621 deadlocks fitted to solid timber doors common on older Rochester and Chatham terraces.

  • Do prices change once you arrive?

    No. The phone quote is the bill. The only reason it would shift is if you asked for additional work on site, and that gets a separate quote before any extra work starts.

  • Insurance-rated lock fits?

    Yes. BS3621 mortice deadlocks and SS312 Diamond cylinders are both stocked. If your policy lists a particular brand, mention it when booking and we'll bring the right unit.

  • Warranty on the work?

    12 months on parts we supply and fit, against manufacturing defects. Forced entry damage and general wear from misuse aren't covered. Records are kept so you can ring back if anything fails.

  • Coverage outside the Medway towns?

    All ME postcodes plus Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, and Tonbridge. Outside that catchment, ring anyway, we may still be able to send someone if engineer location works.

    Mark D. Lock change
  • Engineer arrived at the ME8 address in 19 minutes from a job in Sittingbourne. Front door latch had jammed solid. Picked it open and replaced the latch on the spot.
    Charlotte N. Emergency lockout
  • Half a key broken way down inside a front door cylinder. Other locksmiths I rang said they'd have to drill. This one extracted both halves and saved me a cylinder. Forty quid.
