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 Kent since 2006 and this is where my wife and I have raised our family. The Key Locksmith was built around values that matter to me — honesty, reliability, quality workmanship and treating people fairly.
Today, I help homeowners, landlords and businesses throughout Tonbridge, Kent and South East England 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. In most cases, I'll be the locksmith attending your property, not a subcontractor you've never spoken to before.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"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."

Lock Repairs & Lock Replacements
Not every faulty lock needs replacing.
Many lock problems are caused by worn cylinders, failed gearboxes, broken mechanisms or doors that have moved out of alignment over time. After diagnosing the issue, I'll explain the available options and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
I regularly repair and replace locks from leading manufacturers including:
- Yale
- ERA
- Union

Common faults include:
- Failed multipoint locking systems

- Faulty door handles
With years of experience repairing uPVC and composite door locks, I can often repair the fault without replacing the entire mechanism, saving customers both time and money.

A Recent Locksmith Job In Tonbridge
Recently I attended a property close to Tonbridge High Street where the homeowner had returned from work to find they could no longer lock their front door.
The key would turn, but the multipoint locking mechanism wasn't engaging correctly, leaving the property insecure overnight.
After diagnosing the fault, I discovered the gearbox inside the mechanism had failed. I replaced the faulty gearbox, serviced the full locking system and realigned the door. The customer avoided the cost of a complete mechanism replacement and had their home fully secure again that evening.
Problems like this are common throughout Tonbridge and are often caught before a full lock failure if dealt with early.
Burglary Repairs & Emergency Boarding
If your home or business has suffered a break-in, securing the property quickly becomes the priority.
I provide emergency burglary repairs, lock replacements, boarding-up services and security upgrades throughout Tonbridge. Whether a door has been forced, a lock damaged or glazing broken, I can help secure the property and restore your peace of mind.
My aim is not only to make the property secure again but also to recommend practical improvements that help reduce the risk of future break-ins.

Many customers contact me after moving home, following a burglary or simply wanting better protection for their family.
I supply and install:
- Ultion WXM Cylinders
- Ultion 3 Star Plus Cylinders
- ABS Ultimate Cylinders
- TS007 Security Handles
- London Bars
- Birmingham Bars
- Hinge Bolts
- Door Reinforcement Products
These upgrades help protect against lock snapping, lock bumping and forced entry while improving overall home security.
