Locksmith changing a door lock

Whether you’re moving homes, your lock is broken, or you just need a new set of keys, we can help you.

Whether you’re moving home or have a broken lock, we can help you today. We usually complete ⁠a standard lock replacement within 20–45 minutes. However, this timing depends on the type of lock and the condition of your door.

Specifically, simple cylinder swaps on timber doors are often the quickest. However, more complex systems, such as uPVC multi-point mechanisms or high-security mortice locks, may take longer to align perfectly.

If you require a professional lock replacement in Kent, Hames and Sons Locksmiths provides a fast service.  Our mobile van is fully stocked with a wide variety of British Standard parts.

Therefore, we aim to complete every job during a single visit. In addition, we take the time to test the operation of the new lock thoroughly before we leave.

Professional Maintenance Tip:
⁠We always recommend cleaning the mechanism after we install the new lock. Furthermore, you should only use a dedicated lock lubricant once a year to keep the internal pins moving freely.

In conclusion, Hames and Sons ensures your home security is restored without unnecessary delay.
