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.
I run a cafe near the harbour and one morning the key turned round and round without ever throwing the bolt. He opened the door, showed me the sheared part from inside the old mortice and fitted a replacement while I set the tables up. Breakfast started late that day, but it started.
Lost my whole keyring somewhere on the sand at Ramsgate and only realised at dusk. The chap on the phone talked me through what a full lock change would involve before he set off, so there were no surprises when he arrived. New locks on both doors that evening.
The window handles at my mother's place in Dumpton had seized up and one would not lock at all. He replaced the handles, sorted the mechanism on the stiff one and showed her how to work the new keys. She can open her windows again without a battle.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Ramsgate? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Ramsgate is the only town in the world with a Royal Harbour. George IV granted the title in 1821, roughly halfway through a build that began in 1749 and took the best part of a century to finish, and the town above it grew the same way the harbour did: in stages, by different hands. The Regency crescents on East Cliff and West Cliff were sold off as individual plots, each buyer putting up their own house, which is why Nelson Crescent and Wellington Crescent look like terraces but behave like rows of one-offs. No two doors quite match. Wilkie Collins stayed at Nelson Crescent and reputedly wrote part of The Woman in White there, behind one of those doors.For a locksmith, that history is the job description. On the crescents you work with timber doors that have been trimmed, rehung and re-drilled for two centuries, where the new lock has to live with everything the previous owners left in the frame. Move inland through St. Lawrence and Dumpton and the housing turns Victorian, then interwar. Newington and Northwood, the later estates, are largely uPVC, which fails in its own predictable ways. Nethercourt and Pegwell sit on the western edge, a bit of everything, with the fields toward Minster beyond. A morning's callouts here can cover three hundred years of door hardware, and the tools in the van have to cover all of it too. Ring from Ramsgate and the answer is usually 15 to 30 minutes. If traffic or a running job pushes that out, you get the true estimate up front. Labour runs to £39 on every job. Locks are priced from £25, and a lock quote includes the fitting rather than adding it afterwards. The lock and the work that went into fitting it are both guaranteed for 12 months. The locksmith at your door is DBS-checked and fully insured. That applies to every one of them, on every job.
