About Gerry
I'm Gerry Commane, owner of The Key Locksmith.
I was born in London in 1978 and served as a Royal Navy Naval Airman between 1998 and 2003. After leaving the Armed Forces, I spent several years working on major construction projects across London, including Wembley Stadium and North Middlesex Hospital.
I've lived in Orpington since 2006 and this is where my wife and I have raised our two children. The Key Locksmith was built around values that are important to me – honesty, reliability, quality workmanship and treating people fairly.
Today, I help homeowners, landlords and businesses throughout Orpington with everything from emergency lockouts and lock repairs to burglary repairs, vehicle keys and security upgrades. When you call The Key Locksmith, you'll speak directly with me and in most cases I'll be the locksmith attending your property.
I believe good customer service is about more than simply fixing locks. It's about turning up when promised, being transparent about costs, doing the job properly and leaving customers feeling safe and looked after.

"Not all heroes wear capes!! Thank you so much for your help today getting my car open after my son locked himself in there on the hottest day of the year. I was kept updated constantly which helped keep me calm and Gerry clearly got there as soon as traffic allowed for."

A Recent Locksmith Job In Orpington
Recently I was called to a property in Petts Wood where the homeowner could no longer lock their composite front door. The Lockmaster multipoint locking mechanism had failed internally, leaving the property insecure.
After diagnosing the fault, I replaced the failed gearbox, serviced the locking system and realigned the door. The customer avoided the expense of a complete lock replacement and had their door fully secure again the same day.
Faulty multipoint locks, worn gearboxes and dropped doors are some of the most common problems I encounter on uPVC and composite doors throughout Orpington.
