The Best Locksmiths in Headcorn, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

We had incredible service from John on a Sunday with a key jammed in our lock. He arrived within 10mins of speaking to him, was able to very quickly solve it and didn’t charge us despite us offering and the inconvenience for him of coming to our house. He offered advice to help avoid the problem in the future too. A real class act and you’re in very good hands with John. I’d recommend him to anyone.

John, we are so grateful for your help as such short notice. Putting us before your own arrangements is a service offered that is long forgotten from many other businesses. Helpful, honest and efficient. Thank you

I can’t recommend John highly enough, turned up quickly and gained entry to my house with very minimal fuss. competitively priced. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you John.

Very pleased with the prompt service. Quick and reliable Highly recommended

Extremely friendly and helpful chap on the phone who was able to book me in for the same week to attend to a door that wouldn’t lock. Mikey, the chap that did the call out was equally friendly, and was courteous and efficient in his work. He pulled the lock apart and found a wayward screw jammed in the mechanism, fixed it, and put everything back together in the time it took me to fold a load of laundry. He also did a tune up of the other door we had which was working fine, but is now even better. I would not hesitate to use him again, though I hope I will not need to!

We’ve just moved into a new home and wanted our front door locks replace so we wanted a local locksmith and we found A Short locksmith who was brilliant from the start sent a email saying what we wanted and got a reply straight away. A young gentleman came out unfortunately I didn’t catch a name but he done a fantastic job and he was very quick and gave advise on our locking system which was very interesting. Also very friendly top man. Great price i highly recommend this company 5 stars Thank you A Short locksmith

Fast, efficient and friendly service. Came and fixed our faulty front door lock without any issues. 100% recommend

Regan answered a very panicked call from a borrowed mobile after i locked myself out with no phone, socks or jacket on! He was with us within 10minutes of calling and could not have been more diligent and professional in his work. I would highly recommend Knox Locks and Regan and thank you for getting us back in.

I was provided a brilliant service by this company. I managed to lock myself out of my flat as I’d (stupidly) left my keys indoors. Knox Locks were at my place and sorted the problem out within 45 minutes of my initial call to them. Which I thought was superb. Regan was very professional, incredibly quick to sort the problem out, and I was over the moon to get access again so sharply. I can highly recommend this service - it was great and saved the day!

Was in a bit of a bind with my patio doors, called in the morning and left a message and had a call back within an hour and they had a top notch tech Regan at my house by late afternoon and worked into the evening to repair my patio doors. Will definitely recommend and already planing a visit back for a few other repairs.

We had a couple of locks that were a bit stiff and temperamental. Regan attended in a very short time and sorted them out beautifully. His skill and attention to detail is second to none - as well as being a thoroughly nice bloke! Top marks and thank you.

Porters were the only trader to offer me a free quotation and actually come and view our works before completing. Lead time was very reasonable, no hidden costs. Work was carried out very efficiently, Mark did a fantastic job and we were very pleased with the results. Really friendly guy and was happy to carry out the works around our needs, a credit to the local area

Mark was quick to call out to see us about a window with a broken lock. He was smart and tidy, polite, efficient and did a good job. Much appreciated. We would definately call upon his services again and certainly recommend him.

A big shout out to Mark for his help. My elderly father was recently visited by a locksmith from another part of Kent after having his home broken into. After seeing the bill I was concerned about how much it cost. I contacted Porters to get their opinion on the invoice. Sadly he confirmed that the costs were indeed excessive and unnecessary. Mark was so kind providing info and even offered to visit my Dad to check the lock free of charge! Within 4 hours he was there. He took the lock off to discover that the 'cowboy' locksmith had not even changed one of the parts he charged over £150 for. Whilst this has been a horrible situation for us, it has been made that much better by Mark and his fantastic work ethic. Now we have the facts, we can move forward with a stronger case to Trading Standards If ever we need a locksmith in future, I will be using Porters Locksmiths. Thank you so much

Mark @ Porters has been absolutely brilliant! He replaced my front door and the glass in my windows, and I couldn’t be happier. His craftsmanship is outstanding, with incredible attention to detail. He was professional, punctual, and left everything spotless. My home looks amazing thanks to his work! Mark is friendly, reliable, and truly goes the extra mile. If you need high-quality work done, I highly recommend him. A top-notch service from start to finish—thank you, Mark!

This guy is absolutely brilliant and work is of the highest order. I have no doubt at all to recommend him as a locksmith. Brilliant thankyou very much for prompt attention and out front door has never been so good.

Fantastic job! Harry came round and replaced our door lock cylinder; undertook the job efficiently and explained everything along the way. I would definitely recommend Cutting Edge to anyone.

Harry was amazing. I phoned in the evening to ask if Cutting Edge Locksmith could fix my UPVC front door not locking (which is obviously an emergency matter), and he arrived within an astonishing 20 minutes. Then fixed the issue promptly, too - at a very fair price it must be said. I’m a delighted customer, and genuinely highly recommend him.

Brilliant job, would recommend Harry, great price , never left a review before but had too this time

What a brilliant find! The staff are very helpful & knowledgeable and they carry a huge range of stock. Our windows are now fixed thanks to their help. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolute Security recently attended our school site to carry out remedial works on our toilet block doors. Their team was friendly, professional, and polite throughout the process. They offered reasonable prices and responded quickly to our request. We are extremely satisfied with their service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

This quick and very professional service was first class. I’m all in favour of fixing doors and windows instead of replacing them.

Amazing service, I called at 8pm and Joe met me 45 minutes later, he didn't have the appropriate lock so instead of waiting until the following day he went to the shop and came back and fitted a new lock at a very fair price. Great to know there are still companies such as this where customer service is valued so highly. Can't recommend them enough. Many thanks Keith

Great service from Paul. He replaced our lock quickly and explained clearly what the problem was when our front door wouldn’t unlock. Was also very polite and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Had a problem with my front door lock, Messaged Paul and he responded instantly, gave me such great information and options over the phone as he knew what the exact fault was, It shows how honest Paul is because he advised me I didn’t need to go for the most expensive option and the cheaper option would work just as well. Even better he came out the next day and reasoned this issue, this is a man you can trust and also knows his stuff. Certainly will be using him again, so professional

Excellent service from Paul when I managed to lock us out this evening. Answered his phone very quickly and with a few simple questions worked out the type of lock we had. Paul then came out really quickly and managed to get us in within minutes of arriving. Extremely friendly with very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in need of a locksmiths.

I contacted Paul as my front door wasn't latching shut properly. He came to take a look the same day, and explained clearly both the problem and my options, including costs. And having sourced the replacement lock we agreed on, he returned and installed it a few days later. Friendly, efficient service and with explanations that made sense to a non-technical person - I highly recommend him.

I lost my only car key to my Ford fiesta. I rang PRO AUTO LOCKSMITH 🚘 They were very professional from the moment that they answered the phone. I was given a very short time slot for when they would arrive at my home, they arrived earlier than stated which was my bonus. Very efficient guy turned up and got on with the job of unlocking the car,I asked for two new keys and within 30 minutes the job was complete 👍 I certainly recommend PRO AUTO without any hesitation. Thank you Paul at Linton kent

I cannot recommend this company enough. I cannot remember the gentleman that attended but he turned up when they said he would and was very polite and accommodating. He managed to get the broken key out of the ignition but there was an issue with the key codes etc from a previous owner but he perceived with it and managed to get the car up and running again. If the situation arises again (fingers crossed not) this company would definitely be getting my call for help - a very happy customer.

Fantastic service.great price. Arrived on time 100% recommended

Very good service. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience with the company sorted me out brand new key for my vechile. Was called out and late notice and was there within a couple hours. Highly recommend.

I’ve used Matt and several occasions now when I have needed VW & Audi fobs reprogrammed or replaced. He’s always been professional and great value. Can’t recommend him enough.

Really helpful company - sorted out replacement keys for our locked car (with single key mislaid) without fuss. Good email communication. Highly recommended.

I used Rapid Cars Keys via a recommendation on 30th January 2025. Matt was friendly and professional, he was rapid too, only took 45 minutes to get my remote key working again. Highly recommend this key company.

The service offered by Matt was impeccable. He attended our offices and issued us a replacement coded key in no time at all. We are extremely pleased with the service we received and will be using Matt and recommending him when and where possible.

Reliable, honest and a professional friendly service helped solve a problem Vauxhall main dealer was unable to solve at a fraction of the cost by making a new key and resolving immobiliser problem very rarely leave a feedback but was so impressed it would be unfair not to. Would highly recommend

Matt was prompt, professional and a master in his field. I would not hesitate in recommending Kent Auto Keys! My keys went missing at the weekend and it was the only key I had for a W204 C Class Mercedes. Main Dealer price for replacement key was way over Kent Auto Keys and they expected me to get the car to them. Kent Auto Keys came out to where my car was and I am now back in my car now for half the price. All working as it was! Thanks again Matt! Great Work!

100% recommend. Very friendly, helpful. Even called to say he was running behind but gave a time slot and was here in that time slot. Brand new car key, very pleased
