Frequently Asked Questions — Rochester
-
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Rochester?
For an emergency lockout in Rochester we normally arrive within 15 to 25 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole ME1 and ME2 area — the High Street under the castle, Borstal, Strood across the bridge and the new riverside developments — so wherever you are stuck, the closest engineer is dispatched straight away.
-
Do you work on the older High Street properties as well as modern homes?
Yes, and carefully. Rochester's Dickensian High Street and the streets under the cathedral have period doors that deserve sympathetic work — we fit British Standard mortice locks and rim latches without spoiling the joinery. We equally cover Victorian terraces in Strood and Borstal and the new riverside apartments, carrying multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders as standard.
-
Are your Rochester locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every locksmith we send to Rochester 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 between the castle and Strood.
-
What do you charge to change a lock in Rochester?
Prices start at £89 for a standard cylinder. Insurance-rated BS3621 mortice locks on wooden doors are £119 to £159 fitted. Most Rochester jobs are finished within the hour once the engineer arrives, whatever the door material. You get the exact figure on the phone before an engineer is sent, and that is what you pay.
-
Which areas near Rochester do you cover?
Alongside Rochester itself we cover Strood, Borstal, Frindsbury and Wainscott, plus the wider ME postcode area across the Medway towns. If you are anywhere along this stretch of the river, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out on the High Street with tourists streaming past and my dignity fading. He arrived in about 18 minutes, opened the old door without a mark and restored my faith in the day.
-
New locks on our Victorian terrace in Strood after we moved in. BS3621 mortice fitted neatly to the original door, anti-snap cylinders on the back. Careful and reasonably priced.
-
uPVC door in Borstal wouldn't lift to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the mechanism in about 40 minutes. £90 and it's been faultless since.
-
Flat in the new riverside block had the door damaged in a break-in attempt. They liaised with the concierge, secured it the same day and fitted a stronger cylinder. Smoothly handled.
-
Key snapped in the lock in Frindsbury before an early shift. Out within 45 minutes, broken key extracted, new cylinder fitted for £99. Polite, quick and exactly as quoted.
