Locked out or having trouble with a door in Folkestone?

We’re out this way most days, covering the Harbour, Creative Quarter, and surrounding areas.

Whether it’s a lockout in Cheriton, a stiff uPVC door in Sandgate, or a lock change in Morehall, we aim to get to you quickly and get it sorted without the stress.

Our vans carry the parts for most jobs, so in many cases we can fix it there and then — no waiting around.

Simple, straightforward, and sorted properly first time.

uPVC door not opening properly or feeling stiff?

We deal with these every day, from jammed doors in Hawkinge to failed gearboxes in Capel-le-Ferne.

Most issues come down to worn mechanisms or alignment, and in many cases we can fix it on the spot without replacing the whole lock.

We also carry out proper door realignments across Densole and Etchinghill, helping prevent the problem coming back.

Simple fix, done properly — not a temporary patch

We deal with lock fittings and repairs on wooden, composite, and uPVC doors — from worn cylinders to handles that just won’t behave.

Most of the time it’s something we can fix there and then. Our van’s stocked, so you’re not waiting around for parts.

We’re out across Lyminge, Elham, and Saltwood most days, getting doors sorted quickly and properly.

We always aim for non-destructive entry where possible — so you’re not paying for more than you need.

Done properly first time — no quick fixes that come back.

Locked out or lost your keys?

It happens more than you think — whether they’ve gone missing near Folkestone Central or been taken in Broadmead.

We can usually get to you quickly and sort it there and then. If the keys are lost or stolen, we’ll change the cylinders straight away so your home’s secure again.

Back inside. Sorted properly. No stress.

Just moved in?

One of the first things worth doing is changing the locks — you don’t know who still has a key.

Whether you’ve picked up keys in West Hythe or are renovating in Stanford, we can swap cylinders quickly and get everything secure from day one.

If needed, we’ll also talk you through any weak points while we’re there — simple things that make a big difference.

We cover Postling, Sellindge, and surrounding areas most days.

New home. Fresh start. Properly secure.

Locked out or the door just won’t open?

We deal with this every day — from lockouts in Park Farm to failed mechanisms in Arpinge.

Most of the time we can get to you quickly and get you back inside without damaging the lock or door.

If something’s failed, we’ll sort it there and then so you’re not left dealing with it later.

We’re out across Acrise, Paddlesworth, and surrounding areas most days.

Back inside. Sorted properly. No stress.
