“Contacted Lock & Key to replace the Banham lock cylinder at my property in Holland Park, and the service was outstanding. The locksmith arrived on time, explained the options available, and completed the replacement quickly and professionally.”

“Absolutely brilliant service from Kensington Lock & Key. I needed an emergency locksmith in Kensington after my front door lock suddenly stopped working. They responded quickly, arrived when promised and had the problem diagnosed straight away.”

★★★★★
“Really happy with the service. They arrived within 25 minutes when I was locked out and quickly got me back inside, then replaced the faulty uPVC door lock cylinder on the spot. Pricing was a fixed call-out with no hidden fees and matched the quote exactly. Friendly, professional, and I’d definitely recommend them.”

Kensington Locksmith FAQs

Do you provide a 24-hour emergency locksmith service in Kensington?

Yes. Kensington Lock & Key accepts emergency locksmith enquiries 24 hours a day across Kensington and nearby areas, subject to availability. Call for the current response estimate.

How quickly can a locksmith reach me?

Arrival time depends on traffic, your exact location and the locksmith’s current job. When you call, we will give you a realistic estimate rather than a guaranteed time we may not be able to meet.

Can you open my door without damaging it?

Where the lock type and condition allow, non-destructive entry is attempted first. Some failed, damaged or high-security locks may require drilling or replacement; this will be explained before work proceeds.

How much does a locksmith in Kensington cost?

The price depends on the time, lock type, work required and any replacement parts. We provide an upfront quotation based on the information available and confirm any change before completing additional work.

Which locks can you replace?

We work with common domestic and commercial lock types, including euro cylinders, rim cylinders, night latches, mortice locks and many UPVC multipoint mechanisms.

Do you help landlords and businesses?

Yes. We assist landlords, letting agents, shops, offices and other organisations with access, lock changes, repairs and security improvements across Kensington.
