Frequently Asked Questions about Locksmith Kensington

The key slides into my Kensington property's lock fine but then just spins round without actually locking or unlocking anything. What's causing that?
When a key turns freely without engaging the bolt, the internal cam or connecting mechanism has usually failed, and no amount of forcing will make it grip again. Our engineer will open up the lock, pinpoint exactly which component has worn or broken, and advise honestly on whether a targeted repair will hold or a fresh mechanism is the safer bet. Either way, you'll be left with a door that locks and unlocks properly and securely.
A claim of mine was refused before because of the locks, so could you go through every door and make sure it's all properly compliant this time?
Of course — we can work through your home door by door, checking every lock against the British Standard your policy relies on, then upgrading anything that doesn't measure up. We fit the correct BS3621-rated locks properly aligned to the door and frame, so they turn smoothly and stand up to scrutiny if you ever have to make a claim. Getting it right first time gives you real peace of mind that your cover will hold.
Can you let me into my home if I've lost my keys altogether rather than leaving them inside?
Yes, we can still let you in when the keys are lost altogether rather than sitting on the other side of the door. Our locksmith opens up using non-destructive methods wherever possible, and once you're back inside we can rekey or replace the lock so the missing set can't be used by anyone who finds it.
Can you cut a spare key for my front door while I wait, or does it have to go away to a shop?
Yes, our locksmiths cut spare keys right there at your door rather than sending anything off to a shop. The van carries the blanks and cutting gear for most common house and door keys, so in the majority of cases you walk away with a working duplicate the same visit. If you're down to a single key, getting a backup cut now saves a much bigger headache later.
The bolts and hooks along the edge of my door have stopped shooting out when I turn the key, and I don't want to leave the place unsecured — how quickly can someone come out?
When the bolts and hooks stop throwing, the multipoint gearbox has usually failed, and we treat a door that won't secure as a priority. A locksmith covering Kensington can typically be with you within about 15 to 25 minutes, carrying replacement gearboxes for the common systems so your door is locking properly again on the same visit.
Do you actually have someone in Kensington at three in the morning, or is that just a recorded message?
Yes — we cover Kensington around the clock, every single day of the year. Whether it's the middle of the night, an early Sunday morning, or Christmas Day, there's a locksmith ready to head your way. Bank holidays and weekends are handled exactly the same as any ordinary weekday.
