A locksmith in Dartford who confirms the price before starting
Our Dartford engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on interwar semis in Bexleyheath and Welling, Victorian terraces in Gravesend and Erith, and newer homes around Greenhithe.
Most calls we take in Dartford are one of three things: someone locked out, a lock that has stopped working, or a household that wants the locks changed after lost keys or a move. You describe the door and the lock, we give you the price, and the nearest engineer drives to you.
Our engineers carry the common cylinder sizes, nightlatches, mortice locks and uPVC gearboxes, so most jobs are finished in one visit.

Locksmith in Dartford: common questions
What does a locksmith in Dartford cost?
Lockouts start from £39, lock changes from £88 and uPVC gearbox replacements from £89, plus VAT where applicable. You get a free quote on the phone, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
What do you work on?
Front and back doors on homes and small businesses: lockouts, lock changes, lock repairs, uPVC and composite doors, window locks and repairs after a break-in. We do not work on cars or safes.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
Can you fit insurance-approved locks?
Yes. BS3621 mortice deadlocks for timber doors and anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors. Tell us what your policy asks for and the engineer brings the right lock.
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.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Dartford, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover Gravesend, Sidcup and Bexleyheath as well as Dartford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole DA postcode area, including Erith, Welling, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Longfield and the Darent Valley villages, and we also attend nearby Rochester and Swanley.
Can you fix a composite door that will not lock without replacing it?
In many cases, yes. A door that will not lock is most often down to a worn handle, gearbox or multipoint mechanism rather than the door itself, and our engineers carry common uPVC parts. If the door has dropped on its hinges, the engineer will explain what is needed and confirm the price before starting.
