    A professional at work

    Posted 29 September

    We had a sudden and unexpected problem with a back door. Alan brought his expertise and experience to solve the problem (it is fascinating to see a professional at work). Very quickly, he sourced and fixed a replacement part to resolve the problem, very efficiently. Highly recommended.

    Excellent Locksmith

    Posted 08 September

    I would recommend Alan if you need a locksmith. He arrived within half an hour or contacting him, and diagnosed the problem with my Aunt’s back door. A new part was needed so he ordered that and fixed the door when the part arrived.

    Never get wrong to choose him

    Posted 29 August

    Alan is very reliable and offers a very reasonable price. I’ve used his locksmith service twice, and both times he responded quickly, worked very carefully and attentively, and gave helpful advice. I’m extremely happy with his work and highly recommend him.”

    Excellent work and expertise.

    Posted 09 August

    Alan has fitted a number of locks for us, has adjusted bolts, and most recently he came out in the evening to do an emergency repair to a window with a broken hinge, and made it fully secure in just a few minutes. His experience, knowledge and quality of work has been excellent in every way. Very highly recommended!

I'm Alan Hocknell, trading as All Locked Out. I am a skilled 24 hour locksmith with over 15 years experience and I live in Tenterden, Kent, with my wife, daughter and our Jack Russell, Baxter.Unlike many other locksmiths, I don’t charge a call out fee; instead I provide a clear price for the job to be done, with no surprises later. I am reliable, conscientious, fast, friendly and good value.

I work for private individuals, commercial clients, housing associations and letting agencies. 90% of jobs are completed in one visit as my van is always well stocked with a variety of insurance compliant BS3621 locks.

I work as non-destructively as possible (ie: picking locks rather than drilling) and I reach most customers within 30 minutes of their call, and often much quicker!

Please call me for a no obligation quotation. I am not a call centre or agency, so when you call you will reach me directly.
