How fast can a locksmith reach me in Medway?

Average response across ME postcodes is 17 to 22 minutes day or night. Engineers are based around Chatham, Rochester, and Gillingham, with mobile cover stretching to Maidstone, Sittingbourne, and Gravesend.

Do you cover only the Medway towns?

No, the catchment includes Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, and Tonbridge as standard. Response times in those outer towns are typically 25 to 40 minutes. Mention the postcode when you ring.

Genuinely no callout fee?

Right. No callout, no minimum charge, no out-of-hours surcharge. The phone quote is the invoice total. Only exceptions are unusual jobs like multi-lock fits or burglary boarding which get quoted separately.

Are your engineers properly checked?

Each one is DBS-checked, fully insured, and trained in non-destructive entry. They show ID before going near your door. Book on 0800 048 5569.

Average lockout price?

Most lockouts cost £49 to £89. Older locks or anti-snap cylinders push it higher. Exact figure gets confirmed on the phone before anyone leaves.

Over 95% of jobs use non-destructive entry, so the door stays intact. If we have to drill (rare, only on already-failed cylinders), the new cylinder is included in the quoted price.

Card, contactless, bank transfer, or cash. Payment on completion, never upfront. You pay before the engineer leaves so there's no chasing invoices afterwards.

What Our Customers Say

French doors on our 1960s estate house wouldn't engage all locking points. Hinges had dropped and keeps needed adjusting. Job done within an hour for under £100.

Sophie A. uPVC door repair
Old mortice on the back door of our Victorian terrace had seized up. The engineer drilled it carefully without splitting the original timber and fitted a new BS-rated unit.

Tom W. Lock change
Burglary attempt at our place in Walderslade. Door survived but the cylinder was wrecked. Same engineer boarded that night and fitted anti-snap cylinders next morning.

Gareth E. Burglary repair
Came home to find the back door forced after a weekend in Tonbridge. Frame splintered. Boarded that night, BS3621 set fitted Sunday morning before the insurer's deadline hit.
