    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.

    Lock and door fittings changed

    Posted 02 July

    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

    Front gate lock repair

    Posted 21 May

    Would highly recommend East Kent Lock Smiths! They repaired my lock within 24 hours of making the call. From start to finish the service was professional, friendly and efficient so will definitely be using them again if needed.

    Opening locks and fitting new ones

    Posted 28 April

    I was very impressed by the service offered by Charlie of East Kent Locksmiths. He arrived on time and once the bailiffs has given the go ahead he opened the locks quickly and efficiently. He changed all the locks to the property and was extremely professional and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend him or to use his services again should I need.

    Fitting a new lock and box on a wooden door, picking a cabinet lock.

    Posted 04 April

    Charlie was very prompt and friendly . He fitted a new Yale lock on a wooden front door along with a new lock box. He asked lots of questions re the plate colour to fit the rest of the door furniture and explained what he was doing and if that was what we wanted. He obviously takes pride in his work. I also had an old cabinet with books inside that had a missing key. He even managed to unpick this as well. Thoroughly recommended.
