No Call-Out Fee on Completed Work
We do not charge a call-out fee when you book us to complete your locksmith work—you only pay the agreed fixed price for the job.
On-Site Quotes & Security Assessments
We provide free, fixed-price quotes over the phone and via WhatsApp photos.

What Our Thanet Customers Say About Us.

★★★★★5/5
Highly recommended, I have used Thanet locksmith a few times now and always reliable gets the job done quickly. Thank you Ian (the lock whisperer)

★★★★★5/5
Saved the day on a hot Saturday after front door lock mechanism failed. Ian arrived well within the 30 minute estimate, talked me thorough options and costs and got me back in with no damage. Replacement lock fitted, much better than the orignal, very happy.

★★★★★5/5
A toddler shut the door behind us as we chatted on the door step. Oh my word. Panic! He was running about, crying…. We called Ian and he said he’d be there in less than 30 mins. He was there in 10. He got in the door and saved the day. A real gent and understood how important the situation was. I cannot recommend highly enough.
