Andrew B

Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,

Abel D

Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services

VIKKI V

Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.

Gary C

Locked myself out putting the bins round the back in Twydall. Called, got a proper time down the phone, and he had me through the front door well within it. Tidy job, no fuss, and he checked the latch before he left.

Bianca S

The front door on our terrace near Brompton had been playing up for a while, needing a proper shove to lock. Rang these on a Saturday half expecting Monday. Bloke came the same afternoon, sorted the multipoint and fitted a new barrel, and talked me through what had worn. Shuts like new now.

Dimitri P

Night shift, came home to a jammed lock and no way in. Rang not expecting much at that hour. Someone was out to Parkwood inside the window he quoted, got me in without forcing it, and the price matched what I was told. Sound bloke.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Gillingham?
Our emergency locksmith Gillingham service aims to have a local engineer at your door within 15–30 minutes of your call. We have teams based throughout the ME postcode area, so you won't be waiting long wherever you are in the city or surrounding Kent area.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No — Emergency Locksmith 24 charges no call-out fee. You only pay for the work carried out. We'll give you a clear, fixed price before we start and won't proceed without your agreement.
Can you open my door without damaging the lock?
In the majority of cases, yes. Our engineers are trained in non-destructive entry techniques, which means your lock stays intact and doesn't need replacing. If we do need to drill, we'll always tell you beforehand and carry suitable replacements on the van.
How much does a locksmith cost in Gillingham?
Labour starts from £39 and locks from £25, with no call-out charge. The exact cost depends on the type of lock and job required — but we'll always quote you a fixed price before starting work. No surprises on the bill.
Do you cover the whole of Gillingham and nearby areas?
Yes. Our local locksmith near me service covers all ME postcodes — from Gillingham city centre right out to surrounding areas including Kent, Twydall, Hempstead, Wigmore, Rainham. If you're in the ME postcode area, we can reach you.
Are your locksmiths qualified and insured?
Absolutely. Every Emergency Locksmith 24 engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and carries public liability insurance. We only fit locks from established, trusted manufacturers — British Standard-approved wherever possible — and back all our work with a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
What's the realistic wait time in Gillingham, honestly?
If you're in Brompton, Twydall or Parkwood we're not far, so it's usually a short wait. Out at Hempstead, Wigmore or the Kent Rainham reckon on four to nine minutes in clear traffic. When the Medway roads clog up it stretches, and if a van's already on a job you'll wait for the next one. Ring and we'll say where we actually are.
My uPVC door won't lock unless I yank the handle up hard. What's going on?
Raise the handle and watch the bolts: if they never leave the edge, the gearbox that works them has worn out inside the door. It is a separate part from the cylinder, and it takes the strain every time you lock up. We match a replacement to the case and fit it, so the door lifts and locks properly again.
The insurance company says we need British Standard locks after the burglary. Which ones count?
The first thing is a door that holds overnight. We then upgrade what failed, swapping a snapped barrel for an anti-snap cylinder to TS007, renewing the keeps and strike, and reinforcing the frame where it took the damage so it locks solid again.
We're in a village twenty minutes from Gillingham. Would you still come out?
We work right across the Medway Towns. Rochester and Chatham each have their own page on this site, and Strood sits just over the river, so we're on all of them regularly. Worth saying the Rainham we cover is the Kent one that's part of Gillingham, not the London borough with the same name.

Professional Locksmith Services Across Gillingham & Kent

Gillingham grew up around the Royal Engineers. The Sappers still train at Brompton Barracks, the Royal Engineers Museum sits just up the hill, and on match days the town belongs to the Gills. It runs right into the old Chatham Dockyard, and you can read that history in the streets: rows of tight Victorian terraces built for naval and garrison families. The post-war estates came later, out at Twydall and Parkwood. We cover all of it, along with Hempstead, Wigmore and the Kent side at Rainham, and we know which of these locks are original and which have been swapped a dozen times. It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes to reach anywhere in Gillingham. Ask when you call and you get the real number for that hour, not a script. £25 is where lock prices begin, fitting included, and the labour alongside it is a flat £39. The work carries a 12-month warranty that covers the part and the labour to replace it. All our locksmiths are DBS-checked. All of them are insured. Neither is optional.

Lock Replacement & Repair in Gillingham

Moved into a new property in Gillingham? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the ME postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.

If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.

Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the ME postcode area.

uPVC Door Specialists in Gillingham

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Gillingham engineers carry replacement gearboxes, handles, hinges, and cylinders for every major brand on every van — meaning most uPVC faults are diagnosed and repaired on the same call-out, with no second visit needed.

uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
