Morgan C.
Independent Canterbury locksmith
Meet the founder
One locksmith. One standard. Personally accountable for every job.
Morgan trained, qualified and built his reputation here in Canterbury, and still does the work himself. The standard is set on every single job: non destructive entry first, a fixed price agreed before any tool comes out, and quality hardware from manufacturers insurers actually recognise. That's how MC Locksmiths has earned hundreds of 5 star reviews from neighbours across Kent.

How Morgan works
Every job is carried out personally by Morgan to a properly qualified standard: industry best practice, City & Guilds qualifications, DBS checked, fully insured with £5m public liability, and backed by 12 months warranty on parts and labour. Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC repairs, high-security upgrades and post-burglary re-secures are all handled by the same independent locksmith.
Based in Canterbury and covering the wider Kent area, Morgan keeps response times tight: Canterbury and the surrounding areas are typically reached within 15–30 minutes of your call, and across the wider Kent area it can be up to an hour, if he is not already on another job. Day or night. The van is fully stocked, so most jobs are diagnosed, repaired and secured in a single visit by a locksmith you can trust in your home or premises.
When you call MC Locksmiths, you reach Morgan directly, not a switchboard. You get an honest idea of timing and price up front, he turns up when he says he will, and if anything looks different on site he explains it and re-quotes before a single tool is touched. That's the standard the business is built on.
