A locksmith who knows Canterbury
A Canterbury locksmith needs to be comfortable with doors of every age. Medieval timber frames inside the city walls sit a short walk from Victorian terraces in Northgate and St Martins, student houses near the University of Kent and newer estates out towards Sturry and Blean. The line is answered 24 hours a day, with a free quote on the phone.
The CT postcode area is far larger than the city. It runs along the north Kent coast to Whitstable and Herne Bay, round the Thanet coast to Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate, and down to Sandwich, Deal, Dover and Folkestone. You pay no callout fee if you go ahead, an insured engineer typically reaches you in 15 to 20 minutes, and every part we fit is covered for 12 months.
Salt air along the Whitstable, Herne Bay and Thanet coast corrodes exposed locks and uPVC hardware faster than inland, and student tenancies in Canterbury mean locks are changed often between lets.
