What Deal Customers Say
Key snapped in our Folkestone front door before an early train. Broken piece out, new key cut at the van, and I made the connection at Ashford. Outstanding.
After a break-in on the next street we upgraded the locks across our Canterbury semi. Clear advice, British Standard everything, fitted in one morning without any scare tactics.
Locked out of our house near the Westgate at midnight — student daughter had the only other key in Leeds. He was there in twenty minutes and had us in cleanly.
Our uPVC door off Wincheap had the classic dropped-hinge shuffle — wouldn't catch without a shoulder. Hinges adjusted, gearbox serviced, sorted in under an hour.
I manage student lets near the university and they do all our changeovers. Term-end turnarounds booked tight, done in one visit, invoiced properly every time.
Key snapped in the lock of our medieval-lane cottage. He extracted it without touching the old door furniture and fitted a discreet new cylinder behind it. Perfect.

Deal Locksmith FAQs
Will my home insurance accept the locks you fit?
Yes — we fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007-rated cylinders, the standards most home insurance policies ask for. If your policy names a specific standard, tell us on the phone and we'll bring the right lock.
My door handle is loose or floppy — what does that mean?
On a uPVC or composite door, a floppy handle usually means the gearbox inside the multipoint mechanism has failed. We can normally replace the gearbox alone rather than the whole mechanism.
How long does a lock change take?
A standard cylinder change takes around 30 minutes; a mortice lock or multipoint mechanism around an hour. Nearly all lock changes in the CT area are completed in a single visit.
Can you open garages, sheds and outbuildings?
Yes. Garage doors, shed padlocks, gates and outbuildings are all covered — and on this coast, freeing seized and corroded locks is half the job.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card, cash or bank transfer, whatever suits — payment is only taken once the job is done, and you'll always get a receipt or invoice.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Deal?
Our engineers cover the whole CT postcode area — Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, Dover and Folkestone — with most call-outs reached in 15–30 minutes, day or night.
Which CT postcodes do you cover?
All of them — Canterbury (CT1–CT4), Whitstable (CT5), Herne Bay (CT6), Margate (CT9), Ramsgate (CT11–CT12), Deal (CT14), Dover (CT16–CT17) and Folkestone (CT18–CT20).
Locksmith Cover Across Deal and the CT Postcode Area
Deal sits at the centre of the CT postcode area, and that's the ground our locksmiths cover every day — not just Deal itself, but Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, Herne Bay, Margate and Ramsgate and more too. Whether you're in a terraced street near the centre or a newer estate on the edge of town, the same team, the same pricing and the same 15-30 minute response applies. Our Canterbury team covers the whole CT area, so Deal gets the same fast response.
What CT Postcode Coverage Means for You
Covering the whole of CT doesn't mean one locksmith trying to reach every job. It means enough people working across Deal and the surrounding districts that wherever you call from, someone is realistically close by. That's what keeps response times down even during busy periods — Friday and Saturday nights, or the first cold snap of autumn when uPVC doors tend to play up.
What Happens When You Call
Every call is answered by a person, day or night. We'll ask what's happened, what kind of lock is involved, and where in Deal you're calling from, so the right locksmith with the right kit is sent straight away. You'll always know the price before anyone touches the lock.
Moving Into a New Home in Deal
If you've just picked up the keys to a new home anywhere in Deal, it's worth changing the locks before you move your things in. You have no way of knowing how many sets of keys were cut for previous owners, tenants or tradespeople over the years, and a lock change is a small cost against that uncertainty. It's routine work for us — most standard cylinder changes on a Deal front door are completed in a single visit, with the lock itself from £25 and the fitting quoted before we start.
Anti-Snap Cylinders and Everyday Security
A lot of the older uPVC doors in Deal still have standard euro cylinders fitted, which offer little resistance against snapping. Swapping to an anti-snap, British Standard cylinder is a straightforward, cost-effective upgrade — usually a like-for-like fit — and it's worth having checked if yours sticks in cold weather or feels loose in the lock.
After Losing Your Keys
If your keys have gone missing rather than simply mislaid at home, changing the lock is the sensible next step, particularly if there's anything on the keyring — an address, a fob, a car key — that could identify where they open. We can usually get a replacement cylinder fitted the same day, and if you're locked out in the meantime, we'll get you back inside first and talk through the lock change once you're safely indoors.
Lockout, jammed mechanism or a security upgrade before winter — whatever's brought you here, the answer is the same: a Deal locksmith on the way within 15-30 minutes, a clear price agreed up front, and no call-out fee. Call 0333 344 6467 any time, day or night.
