Emergency lockouts
Locked out, lost your keys or had the door shut behind you? Help is available day and night across Canterbury and Kent.
What we do
MC Locksmiths handles emergency lockouts, lock changes, broken-key removal, uPVC and composite door repairs and security upgrades. The price for each job is agreed before work starts, parts and labour carry 12 months warranty, and every job is done by Morgan himself, a trained and qualified mobile locksmith based in Canterbury who comes to you.
MC Locksmiths doesn't replace car keys, but Morgan may be able to point you to a trusted local auto locksmith.
Locked out, lost your keys or had the door shut behind you? Help is available day and night across Canterbury and Kent.
Picking and bypass methods come first, so the lock and door are left undamaged wherever possible.
New home, lost keys or a lock you no longer trust. A standard lock change is supplied and fitted for one price.
A BS3621 insurance-approved 5 lever mortice lock, supplied and fitted.
For internal doors and lower-risk locations: a 3 lever mortice lock, supplied and fitted.
Key snapped in the lock? The broken piece can usually be removed without changing the cylinder.
TS007 1-star and 3-star anti-snap cylinders, supplied and fitted, to resist snapping, picking and bumping.
Front, back, garage and patio doors all opened by a single key, with no drop in security.
After a break-in, Morgan secures the property and replaces the forced or damaged locks so you can lock up again.
An honest walk-round of your home or premises, with practical ways to make it harder to break into.
uPVC and composite door handles that stick, sag or have snapped, repaired or replaced.
uPVC or composite door or window not opening, locking or closing properly? Locks, hinges, gearboxes and cylinders repaired.
EVVA ICS, MCS and 4KS patented restricted-key cylinders, for buildings where key control matters most.

A failed gearbox or multipoint mechanism is the usual cause, and it can often be replaced the same day.
Tired handles, dropped hinges or an old letterplate: small jobs that change how a door works.
