Which lock do you need?
After a move, a break-in or a lost set of keys, a lock change in Strood, Rainham or Sittingbourne puts you back in control of who has access.
uPVC and composite doors use a euro cylinder. We fit anti-snap cylinders, which resist the snapping attack burglars use on cheap cylinders. Timber front doors usually have a nightlatch and a mortice deadlock; for insurance that deadlock should be BS3621.
Most lock changes in Medway take 30 to 45 minutes. Common reasons: moving into a new home, lost or stolen keys, a tenant moving out, or a lock that has become stiff and worn.
Locksmiths who know Medway
Salt air and winter weather on the Isle of Sheppey and along the Medway estuary corrode external locks and uPVC hardware, while older Chatham and Gillingham terraces often have timber doors with worn nightlatches.

Lock change in Medway: common questions
How much is a lock change in Medway?
From £88 supplied and fitted for a standard euro cylinder. BS3621 mortice deadlocks start from £109. The price the engineer confirms includes the lock and the fitting.
Do I need anti-snap locks?
On a uPVC or composite door, we recommend them. Snapping is the most common way in through those doors, and anti-snap cylinders are built to resist it.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
Can you change locks for a landlord or letting agent?
Yes. Between tenants is one of the most common jobs we do. We can fit cylinders keyed alike so one key opens the front and back doors.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
Which areas around Medway do you cover?
Every ME postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, Tonbridge, Rochester, Chatham. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Do you cover the Isle of Sheppey as well as the Medway Towns?
Yes. Our ME coverage includes Sheerness, Minster and the rest of the Isle of Sheppey, as well as Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and Faversham. Give your postcode when you ring and we will confirm an engineer for you.
Is Maidstone covered by the same number as Chatham and Rochester?
Yes. One 24-hour phone line covers the whole ME postcode area, from the Medway Towns to Maidstone and Kings Hill. You get a free quote on the phone and there is no callout fee if you go ahead.
