    Helpful, reliable, reasonable pricing.

    Posted 15 July

    I'm ever so grateful to Bob for his help today coming out to fix my broken door lock! Turned out it was worse than we thought initially so he replaced the whole thing and gave me some safety advice in relation to preventing break-ins and also showed me how to use the new door lock. Above and beyond! He is now on my speed dial for any locksmith related situations and will certainly be recommending him!

    Car ignition lock needed replacing.

    Posted 11 June

    I paid for them to come out and replace the ignition lock. Tom came out and did the job. Two days later, the key was not turning again i went in to see them. Initially they didnt believe the key was still not turning until it happened in front of them. They told me to contact the part supplier directly and then to go to VW in Canterbury to diagnose the issue. I had to go to VW twice, for them to find out that the part was actually never replaced. I paid £100 to VW for diagnosis which is the only part I got refund for by Herne Bay Locks. The part was changed at VW and they charged them for it.
