HBL Security Solutions: locksmithing and security across Kent

HBL Security Solutions is a family-run locksmith and security company that states more than 25 years of experience in locksmithing, a trade it describes as handed down from generation to generation. The business operates from a base in Whitstable and provides mobile call-out services. Its activity spans domestic locksmithing, automotive locksmithing and commercial security systems.

Domestic locksmithing and home security

The home locksmith service covers key cutting, emergency lockouts, lock repairs and post-break-in security. Where possible, the company fits British Standard locks to support insurance requirements. It also upgrades homes with high-security and smart locks, as well as safes, using brands including ABS, Mul-T-Lock, DOM UK and Burg-Wächter.

Automotive locksmithing and vehicle protection

HBL Security Solutions states it was one of the first local companies to offer key programming. It is a member of the Auto Locksmith Association and is SERMI-approved, which the company presents as a vetting that allows it to deliver dealership-grade expertise. The automotive service is fully mobile and covers lost keys, lockouts, broken locks and keyless fleet issues, attending at home, at work or at the roadside, for a single vehicle or an entire fleet.

For vans, the company offers tailored protection for solo tradespeople and fleets using Vanguard hardware, including Solid Secure Gold hook locks tested to 500kg, plus slam locks, shields and anti-peel plates. The stated aim is to prevent tool theft that can take a van off the road for weeks.

Vehicle tracking is offered through two solutions: the insurance-recognised Scorpion S5 tracker for personal vehicles and high-security needs, and Track 24 for fleets, which provides visibility over usage, mileage and key operational data.

Commercial security systems

For commercial clients, HBL Security Solutions designs and installs master key systems, access control and smart locks, and CCTV. The company works with brands such as DOM, Mul-T-Lock, Paxton, iLOQ and Hikvision. These systems are presented as a way to control who goes where, view audit trails and monitor property remotely, avoiding the management of numerous keys on shared sites.

Service model and customer feedback

The company describes customer service as extremely important and presents itself as a family business with over 25 years serving customers. The website includes several testimonials, including one describing a response within 25 minutes after keys were locked in a car, another praising the resolution of an issue after other companies had been contacted, and a third referring to a technician by name as brilliant and reliable.
