Why homeowners across Kent & East Sussex trust Mike
Whether you're locked out at midnight or need a lock replaced after a break-in, I'll be there quickly, fairly, and without any drama.
Locked out of your home? Don't panic. I'll get to you as quickly as I can and get you back inside — with no damage to your door wherever possible.
Old, worn, or compromised lock? I'll supply and fit quality replacements that give you real peace of mind — including anti-snap locks for extra security.
Door not locking properly? Handle dropping? uPVC mechanism playing up? I diagnose and fix most door problems on a single visit — no fuss, no unnecessary parts.
Key snapped in the lock or stuck and won't turn? Don't force it. I'll get the broken piece out and, if the lock or gearbox is damaged, replace it there and then.
No call-out fee and no nasty surprises. You'll always know the price before I set off, and that's the price you pay.

I know what it's like to need help in a stressful moment. When you're locked out at 10pm, the last thing you need is an unreliable tradesman quoting one price then charging another.
That's why everything I do is built around honesty, fair pricing, and showing up when I say I will.
You only pay if I do the work — no charge just for turning up.
If I can't get you in, you don't pay. Simple as that.

Don't just take my word for it. Here's what real customers have said on Google.
"Mike arrived within 10 minutes of my call, replaced the lock (even added a touch of carpentry as the old one had been fitted badly), left everything clean and tidy and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend."
"Could not have been more helpful. Very quick response and at our house within 30 minutes. Very clean, quick and efficient repair."
"Locked myself out and Mike was there very quickly to help me get back in. Such a great service — thank you!"
"Went above and beyond for my elderly neighbour who was locked out. Kind and caring guy. Really great service."
"Mike came over the same day I called, squeezing me in between jobs, to fix a lock that had jammed in the heat. £80 — very reasonable. Extremely courteous, tidy and quick."
"Great locksmith and thoroughly nice guy! Mickey attended quickly and did a great job fixing a broken door handle and lock. Would recommend to anybody!"
