Each profile shows photos of completed jobs, the services on offer and reviews from real customers, so you can shortlist two or three locksmiths in Kent and ask each one for a free written quote before you decide.
Services on offer
Local locksmiths provide emergency lock-out entry, lock replacement after break-ins, new cylinder and mortice lock installation, uPVC door mechanism repair, and access control installation for homes and businesses. Many are available 24/7 for genuine emergencies and carry a wide range of BS3621-compliant locks in their van.
Qualifications and accreditations to look for
The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) is the UK's premier locksmith trade body - MLA-approved locksmiths are vetted, DBS-checked, and required to carry adequate insurance. Locksmiths are unregulated in the UK, meaning anyone can call themselves one, so MLA approval or equivalent vetting is particularly important when allowing access to your property for security work.
