We provide free, fixed-price quotes over the phone and via WhatsApp photos.

How Can Thanet Locksmiths Help You?
Emergency Entry – Fixed £80 – £120 Daytime
Locked out? Don’t pay “national” prices. We offer a clear fixed daytime entry fee (7am–6pm Thanet only) with no hidden surprises. For calls between 6pm and our 10pm closing time, we confirm your fixed rate clearly over the phone before we arrive. We specialize in Non-Destructive Entry, using professional picking and bypass tools to get you back inside without damaging your door.
uPVC Door & Lock Specialist Repairs
Is your handle stiff or won’t lift? Most locksmiths just replace the whole door, but we specialize in uPVC Gearbox and Mechanism Repairs. We can often save you hundreds of pounds by repairing the internal parts rather than replacing the entire unit.
SIA Licensed & DBS Checked Security
Your safety is our priority. Ian Stevenson is fully SIA Licensed and Enhanced DBS Checked, ensuring that your security is handled by a vetted professional. We provide new lock installations for homeowners, landlords, and commercial businesses moving into new premises.
High-Security 3-Star Locks
We pick and install 3-Star Anti-Snap locks designed to defeat modern burglary methods like lock snapping. If you have a standard euro cylinder, ask us about a high-security upgrade to protect your home.
