Locked Out of House With No Spare Keys in Canterbury — FAQs
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Canterbury?
Average LockSafe response time in Canterbury is 15-30 minutes thanks to our network covering City Centre, Wincheap, Thanington, Hales Place and all surrounding South East England areas.Can a locksmith get in if there's no spare key at all?
Yes. A spare key makes nothing easier for a professional — they open the lock from the mechanism, not by copying a key. With no spare in existence, a competent locksmith still opens most UK residential doors non-destructively, then cuts you a new key or fits a fresh cylinder if you want one.How much does it cost to be let in with no spare key?
Expect £70–£140 in the day and £100–£180 at night for a non-destructive opening, plus £15–£80 if you want a new key cut or a replacement cylinder afterwards. Anything over about £250 for a simple Yale or euro-cylinder is well above market rate.Will the locksmith have to drill the lock?
Almost never on a standard residential lock. Drilling is a last resort for seized or high-security cylinders. If a bidder leads with 'we'll need to drill', ask why and consider another bid — most house locks open non-destructively.Should I break a window to save money?
No. A replacement pane usually costs more than the call-out, and many home insurance policies won't cover damage you inflict yourself. A non-destructive entry is faster, cheaper and leaves your door intact.How fast can someone reach me?
Through LockSafe, the average response time is 15–30 minutes across most UK postcodes, with the first bids usually appearing within a few minutes of posting your job.
