🔓

Emergency Lockout Service

Locked out of your home or business premises? We respond quickly, gain entry with minimal fuss, and make sure you're back inside as soon as possible — without unnecessary damage to your door or frame.

🔑

Key Cutting & Spare Keys

Spare keys cut accurately while you wait — including for older locks, non-standard doors, and less common key profiles. A simple job done properly makes a big difference when you need it most.

🚗

Vehicle & Transponder Keys

Lost your car keys or need a replacement key fob programmed? We supply and set up vehicle keys for a wide range of makes — usually at significantly less than a main dealer would charge.

🔧

Lock Repair & Replacement

A lock that's stiff, worn, or just not catching properly is a security risk waiting to happen. We repair or replace faulty locks cleanly and correctly, leaving your door secure and easy to use.

🛡️

High-Security Lock Upgrades

As a specialist Mul-T-Lock dealer, we can upgrade your home or business to locks that resist snapping, picking, drilling, and bumping. Ideal for properties in Broadstairs where coastal exposure can wear standard locks faster than you'd expect.

🏢

Access Control & CCTV

Keypad, fob, and card entry systems for offices, holiday lets, and rental properties — plus CCTV installation. We design systems that are simple to manage day-to-day, not just impressive on paper.

🔐

Safe Supply & Installation

We supply and fit quality home and office safes for documents, valuables, and cash. We'll advise on the right grade and size for your needs and install it properly so it actually does its job.

🪟

UPVC Door & Window Locks

UPVC multipoint locks and window mechanisms are among the most common repairs we carry out. They wear out quietly — often before you notice — and we can usually sort it in a single visit.

Why Broadstairs Residents Choose a Local Locksmith

Broadstairs isn't just a tourist destination — it's a proper community, with around 25,000 residents who live and work here year-round. From the period properties along the clifftops to the newer builds in St Peter's, the town has a huge variety of doors, locks, and security setups. That kind of local knowledge matters.

We're based in Margate — just minutes along the coast — which means we can reach Broadstairs quickly, without the delays you'd get from a national company dispatching from further afield. When you call us, you speak to someone who actually knows where you are and can give you a straight answer about timing and cost.

We've built much of our business on repeat customers and referrals across Thanet. Broadstairs is no different — we work with homeowners, holiday let owners, landlords, and local businesses, and we take pride in getting it right first time.

Common Questions from Broadstairs Residents

How quickly can you reach Broadstairs in an emergency?
We're based in Margate, so Broadstairs is a short trip for us. We'll always give you a realistic arrival time when you call — not a vague window that could mean anything.
Do you work with landlords and holiday let owners in Broadstairs?
Yes, regularly. Broadstairs has a significant number of rental and holiday let properties, and we work with many local landlords and letting agents. Lock changes between tenants, access control installs, and master key systems are all things we handle routinely.
My UPVC door lock has dropped and won't latch properly — can you fix it?
Almost certainly, yes. Dropped UPVC doors and failed multipoint lock mechanisms are one of the most common jobs we see. We carry a wide range of replacement parts and can usually resolve it on the first visit.
Will you tell me the price before starting work?
Always. We give you a clear quote before we do anything. No hidden charges, no extras added on afterwards. What we quote is what you pay.
What's the benefit of upgrading to a Mul-T-Lock cylinder?
Mul-T-Lock cylinders are built to resist the attack methods most commonly used by opportunist burglars — snapping, picking, drilling, and bumping. They also include key control, so copies can only be made with your authorisation. As a specialist Mul-T-Lock dealer, we can advise on the right option for your door type and budget.
Do you cover the whole of Broadstairs, including St Peter's and Kingsgate?
Yes — we cover all parts of Broadstairs and the surrounding areas, including St Peter's, Kingsgate, and Joss Bay, as well as the wider Thanet district and East Kent.
