Locksmith Dover: Frequently Asked Questions

Because I am a local specialist, I can usually arrive at your property in Dover, River, or Whitfield within 30 minutes. Additionally, being an independent locksmith means I don’t use national call centers, which allows for a much faster and more reliable response when you are locked out.

No, Hames & Sons Locksmiths never charges a call-out fee for any local work in the CT16 or CT17 areas. Furthermore, I provide a fixed-price quote over the phone before I even leave for the job. Therefore, you can rest assured there are no hidden costs or surprises once the work is finished.

Indeed, I specialise in repairing uPVC and composite door mechanisms that have been affected by salt air and corrosion. As a result of carrying a wide range of replacement gearboxes and multipoint locks on my van, I can usually fix your door on the first visit. Moreover, I only use high-quality parts to ensure your locks stay smooth and secure for years to come.

Absolutely. I install and upgrade locks to British Standard BS3621, which is the gold standard required by most home insurance providers. By upgrading your cylinders to either a 1 start or  3-star Anti-Snap technology, you are not only securing your home but also ensuring your policy remains valid.

Firstly, you should call me immediately to arrange a lock change and regain peace of mind. Instead of just replacing the keys, I recommend a full cylinder change to ensure the old keys no longer work. Finally, I can provide an on-site security check to identify any other vulnerable points in your home’s defences.
