Locked out near Herne Bay seafront? Salt air causing problems with your door lock? Struggling to lift the handle properly to lock the door?
I’m Ross from Hames and Sons Locksmiths, and I’ve been repairing and upgrading locks across Herne Bay since 1997. Coastal properties around CT6 often suffer with stiff mechanisms, corroded door parts, and failed multipoint locks, especially on older uPVC and patio doors exposed to the sea air.
I carry common uPVC gearboxes and replacement parts on the van, so in many cases I can repair the lock there and then without replacing the whole door. I also fit anti-snap Euro cylinders and British Standard locks to help improve home security for houses, flats, and holiday properties.
I’m fully independent, DBS checked, Checkatrade vetted, and a proud member of the local Chamber of Commerce. When you call, you deal directly with me from start to finish, no subcontractors, no national call centres, and no call-out fee. For a trusted local Locksmith in Herne Bay, call today.
