Locked out? Door not locking properly? Key turning but nothing happening?
I’m Ross from Hames and Sons Locksmiths, and I’ve been helping Canterbury homeowners with lock problems since 1997. Whether it’s a failed uPVC multipoint lock, a snapped key, or upgrading your locks to British Standard BS3621, I offer honest advice, fixed pricing, and no call-out fee.
I’m DBS checked, Checkatrade vetted, and based locally, so when you call, you deal directly with me, not a national call centre. I cover all Canterbury areas including CT1, CT2, CT3 and CT4 with a fast local response.
