Family-run since 1997

No call-out fees, with a fast, friendly service across Ashford and nearby villages.

Moved into a new-build in Ashford and want better locks fitted? Door difficult to lock properly? Handle lifting but the mechanism not catching?

I’m Ross from Hames and Sons Locksmiths, and I’ve been helping homeowners across Ashford and the surrounding TN23 to TN27 areas since 1997. I regularly repair faulty uPVC multipoint locking systems, replace worn gearboxes, and upgrade standard cylinders to anti-snap British Standard locks for added security.

A lot of modern homes around Ashford use multipoint door mechanisms that can fail over time, especially if the door has dropped slightly out of alignment. In many cases, the problem can be repaired without replacing the full door or frame.

I carry a wide range of common lock parts on the van, which means most repairs and upgrades can usually be completed on the first visit. I’m DBS checked, Checkatrade vetted, part of the local Chamber of Commerce, and offer fixed pricing with no call-out fee. For a trusted local Locksmith in Ashford, call today.

Locksmith Ashford; Frequently Asked Questions

Because I’m locally based, I can usually be at your property in Ashford, Kennington, or Willesborough within 60 minutes. Additionally, I understand the traffic patterns around the M20 and designer outlet areas, allowing me to find the quickest route to you during an emergency lockout.

No, at Hames and Sons Locksmiths, I never charges a call-out fee for any local work in Ashford. I provide a clear, fixed-price quote over the phone before I even leave for the job. Therefore, you can be certain that the price we discuss is exactly what you will pay on the day.

Indeed, many new homes in areas like Chilmington or Finberry come with basic builder-grade cylinders that are vulnerable to snapping. As a result, I specialise in upgrading these to high security  Anti-Snap technology to ensure your new home is properly protected.

Absolutely. I carry a huge range of replacement gearboxes and multi-point lock mechanisms specifically for modern uPVC and composite doors. Instead of needing a whole new door, a professional repair or realignment is usually all that is required. Finally, I only use high-quality parts to ensure your door stays smooth and secure for years to come.

Firstly, you should call me immediately to arrange a lock change and regain peace of mind. By replacing your cylinders on-site, I can ensure that any lost or stolen keys will no longer work in your door.  I can also provide a full security audit of your home, while i’m there, I can identify any other vulnerable entry points.
