Folkestone Locksmith: Frequently Asked Questions

Because I am a local specialist, I can usually be at your door in Folkestone, Sandgate, or Cheriton within 30 minutes. Additionally, as an independent locksmith, I provide a much faster response than national companies, ensuring you aren’t left waiting outside in the wind and rain.

No, Hames and Sons Locksmiths never charges a call-out fee for any local work in Folkestone. In addition to offering free estimates, I always provide a fixed-price quote over the phone before I start. Therefore, you can rest assured that the price we agree on is exactly what you will pay.

Firstly, do not try to force the lock or break a window, as this often leads to more expensive repairs. Instead, call me immediately for a non-destructive entry. Finally, I use professional tools to get you back inside quickly and safely, often without needing to replace the lock itself.

Indeed, I am an expert in all types of uPVC and composite door mechanisms throughout Folkestone and the Leas. As a result of carrying a huge stock of replacement gearboxes and cylinders on my van, I can typically fix your door on the very first visit. Furthermore, I only use high-quality parts to ensure your home remains fully secure.

Absolutely. I specialise in installing Anti-Snap cylinders and British Standard BS3621 deadlocks. By upgrading your locks to these specifications, you are significantly increasing your home’s defence against common burglary methods. Moreover, this ensures your property is fully compliant with all major UK home insurance requirements.
