    Great Experience with Lock Replacement

    Posted 3 days ago

    We hired Alan to replace the locks on our front and rear doors, and he was extremely professional and reasonably priced. He even helped fix one of our door handles at no extra cost. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

    dead lock replacement

    Posted 08 December

    phoned Alan and he answered immediately told him about the problem i was having with my front door dead lock and we arranged a time convenient to me when he could call. he informed me of the cost which i agreed. on arrival as there are hundreds of different patterns he would have to get my type from supplier. he revisited at another time at no extra cost and completed the job. i found him very polite and respectful. a pleasure to have him do this job

    Great Customer Service and responsiveness

    Posted 18 November

    Given the stress of any situation in relation to being locked out (or in), I have to say the customer service, speed and empathy shown was brilliant. I would definitely recommend as good value, great customer service and very responsive. Thank you!

    Sunday evening call out, excellent service

    Posted 09 November

    Called out late on a Sunday evening as key broke off in my front door lock. Answered phone immediately, came within 15 mins. Great communication, really friendly. Fixed the lock straightaway and with ease had everything needed with him. Professional service, great follow up. Very reasonable cost and no hidden charges. 10/10 highly recommend.

    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.

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.
