A Day in the Life of a Canterbury Locksmith

Greetings, fellow Canterbury residents! Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a local locksmith is like?

Well, wonder no more! Join me as I take you through a typical day in my shoes as a locksmith here in the charming city of Canterbury.

Helping a Lovely Couple with a Tricky Front Door Lock


One sunny morning, I received a call from a lovely couple residing in Canterbury. They were facing a bit of a predicament with their wooden front door, which had a multipoint lock fitted. It just wasn’t working smoothly. After a quick assessment, I managed to find the perfect replacement lock through my network in the trade. With a one-year guarantee to keep the customers safe, I swiftly installed the new lock, leaving them with peace of mind.

Changing Locks for a Block of Flats


Canterbury boasts a variety of beautiful flats and one day, I had the pleasure of changing locks for a block of flats that I manage. I ensured that the tenants had their keys a few days before I scheduled the lock change. It was important to use a non-restricted cylinder, as that’s precisely what the tenants preferred. A simple, yet crucial task in maintaining the security of the building.

Coming to the Rescue of a Lady Who Lost Her Garage Key


Sometimes, it’s the little mishaps that make my day. I received a call from a lovely lady who had misplaced her garage key. No problem! With my trusty tools, I picked the lock open and installed a new one. To make sure she wouldn’t face this issue again, I provided her with three spare keys. She was delighted to have access to her garage once more.

Rescuing a Customer Let Down by Another Locksmith


It’s not uncommon to receive calls from people who have been let down by other locksmiths. One day, I arrived at a job where a customer had faced such a situation. They had a lovely old but very thin front door that needed an upgrade. To meet insurance compliance standards, I fitted a British standard deadlock. Now, their door not only looks more secure but is, in fact, much safer.

In a nutshell, the life of a Canterbury locksmith is all about helping our community with their security needs. Whether it’s fixing front doors, managing flats, aiding those who’ve lost their keys, or coming to the rescue when others fall short, I’m here to ensure the safety and peace of mind of my fellow residents.
