    Car lock removal

    Posted 10 September

    Mark & Jo (from the West Midlands) We were down in Whitstable on holiday. We put our steering lock on our car then realised the key was back at home! We contacted Charlie at EKL they were with us within 5 minutes. What a courteous very professional, analytical and efficient team. The lock was challenging I think but they preserved and got it off for us, what a relief. The charge was very modest and I would recommend them to anyone, what a team 😁

    Front door lock replacement

    Posted 05 July

    We had moved into a new property & the lock was dodgy. East Kent Locksmiths were excellent - contacted us promptly, arrived exactly on time & replaced the lock for a good price on a Saturday. Highly recommend.

    Charlie was excellent, super friendly and knowledgeable. Great, very quick communication too. The job turned out to be much bigger than expected but everything was really well explained and given different options that suited our budget. Everything was done to a really high standard. Thank you
