Locksmith Canterbury: Frequently Asked Questions.

Because I am based locally, I can usually be at your door in Canterbury, St Dunstans, or Wincheap within 30 minutes. Additionally, being an independent locksmith means I don’t use national call centers, allowing for a much faster response when you are in a hurry.

Yes, Hames and Sons Locksmiths offers a fully transparent, fixed-price service. Moreover, this includes no call-out charges for any local work. By giving you a clear quote over the phone, I ensure there are never any hidden surprises once the job is finished.

Indeed, I specialise in repairing all types of uPVC and composite door mechanisms across the CT1 and CT2 postcodes. As I carry many gearboxes and cylinders in my van, I can usually fix your door on the first visit.

Absolutely. I highly recommend and install British Standard Anti-Snap cylinders to protect against common burglary methods. Furthermore, if you live in an older property near Hales Place or Rough Common, upgrading your locks is one of the most effective ways to boost your home security.

Firstly, do not try to force the broken key further in, as this can damage the lock permanently. Instead, call me immediately so I can use professional extraction tools to remove the piece safely. Finally, I can often cut a replacement key or change the lock on-site to get your day back on track quickly.
