When you call us, you aren’t getting a national call centre or a newly trained subcontractor—you are getting decades of hands-on expertise and an honest, personal service from a local family business you can trust.
Whether you’ve snapped a key in a lock, need an emergency replacement to get your business out of a spot of bother, or want to upgrade your property to the latest high-security thumb-turn cylinders, I’m here to help. Our 35-year reputation has been built entirely on reliability, skilled workmanship, and fair pricing. Every installation we carry out comes with a full 12-month workmanship guarantee alongside standard manufacturer warranties, and we always provide free, fixed, no-obligation quotes so there are never any hidden surprises.
I understand that a lock emergency can happen at the worst possible times. That’s why we provide a rapid-response 24/7 emergency call-out service across Thanet. We aim to get to you quickly, using non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to get you safely back inside without unnecessary damage or expense. We accept all forms of payment on-site—including cash, debit/credit cards, and contactless via our secure SumUp machine—to make a stressful situation as smooth as possible.

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.

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.
