Frequently Asked Questions — Whitstable
-
How long until you can get to Whitstable?
Most CT5 callouts we reach in 15-25 minutes. Engineers come in from the Canterbury side, covering the harbour, the High Street, Tankerton and out toward Seasalter and Chestfield.
-
Can you help with a holiday let or a period cottage?
Yes, that's a big part of the work here. We handle the weatherboard fishermen's cottages off the harbour, beach-hut locks along Tankerton slopes, and the changeover locks on holiday lets when a keysafe jams or a guest snaps a key. Older mortice locks and stiff cottage doors are no problem.
-
Are the locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Yes. Every engineer sent out is DBS checked and carries £2m public liability insurance. ID is on the day, so you can be sure who's at the door before you let anyone in.
-
What does a new anti-snap cylinder cost?
For a standard uPVC or composite door it's £89 to £129 for a TS007 3-star euro cylinder, supplied and fitted. The figure quoted on the phone is the figure you pay, with no extra callout added on top.
-
Do you cover the surrounding CT towns?
Yes. The same team serves Tankerton, Seasalter, Chestfield, Herne Bay and into Canterbury. Phone 0330 179 6077 with your postcode and we'll confirm the timing before we set off.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out of the flat down by the harbour after the oyster festival crowds had cleared. Engineer arrived in 20 minutes, picked it open on the doorstep with no damage, £55.
-
Old mortice on our weatherboard cottage off the High Street had seized solid and the key wouldn't turn. Swapped it for a five-lever BS3621, oiled the whole thing up, £115 fitted.
-
uPVC back door on the Tankerton place wouldn't lock, the multipoint had dropped and the handle was floppy. New gearbox and cylinder fitted in about forty minutes, £119.
-
Guest at our holiday let by the harbour snapped the key off in the front door lock on a Sunday evening. Rang round and this lot answered straight away. Engineer was there inside half an hour, drilled the broken piece out, fitted a fresh TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder and cut a full set of keys for the changeover, £145 all in. Saved the next booking.
-
Break-in attempt on the back of our Tankerton slopes bungalow left the frame splintered and the lock hanging. Phoned first thing, engineer on site within the hour, secured the damaged door, then fitted a new anti-snap on the front and a BS3621 mortice on the back. £245 including the temporary repair.
