I contacted the Emergency Locksmith 24 and they were extremely helpful right from the start. They provided me with a quick appointment and showed up on time ready to do the job. They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.
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,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
Locked myself out taking the bins round the back in Gillingham, the front door on the latch behind me. Rang up, a locksmith arrived before long and had me indoors again with nothing damaged. Polite, quick, and no fuss made of it at all.
Our back door in Strood stopped locking, the key turning but nothing catching behind it. I expected to be told the whole door needed replacing. Instead he opened the mechanism, found what had failed inside and had it holding firm within the hour. Straight about the cost, and left it all working.
We moved into a place up at Walderslade and wanted every lock done before we properly settled in. He came round, changed the lot, and ran through which key went to which door. Tidy work, and nothing left behind for me to clear up.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Medway? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Medway is not one town but five, strung along the tidal river that gives the unitary authority its name. Rochester keeps the Norman castle keep, one of the tallest left in England, and the cathedral beside it. Chatham grew up around the Historic Dockyard, where warships were built for centuries, and the open Great Lines still run above the streets. Gillingham is the largest of the towns and carries the weight of the shopping and the terraces. Strood sits over the water on the western bank, tied back by the river bridges. Rainham marks the eastern edge before the marshes begin. The towns run into one another along the old Watling Street, and the newer estates fill the ground behind them. Hempstead and Wigmore climbed the higher land in the late twentieth century, full of uPVC doors and multipoint mechanisms. Walderslade spreads along the ridge toward the downs. Twydall sits between Gillingham and Rainham with its own run of postwar housing. We work all of it: the Georgian fronts of Rochester High Street, the dockyard terraces down by Chatham, the hillside closes at Walderslade, the flats filling in by the water. Doors here are as mixed as the towns, old rim locks on one street and sealed multipoint units on the next. Wherever the call comes from across the conurbation, we turn up and get the door working. Somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes is typical for Medway. If the honest answer that evening is longer, that is the answer you get. The labour charge is £39 and locks are priced from £25. Fitting comes inside the quoted lock price rather than as an extra line on the bill. You get 12 months of cover on whatever we fit. That includes the part itself and the labour. Whoever we send has cleared a DBS check and carries insurance that covers work in your property.
