Introducing Andy, Your Local Gosport Locksmith
LockRite is pleased to welcome Andy Kent to our nationwide network of professional locksmiths. Based locally, Andy provides locksmith services to homeowners and businesses throughout Gosport, Fareham, Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.
A New Flight Path
Andy brings more than 36 years of mechanical and electrical maintenance experience to his new career as a locksmith. Much of his engineering background was gained through the Royal Navy, where he worked with Sea King and Lynx helicopters and Sea Harrier aircraft. He later worked for British Airways, carrying out line maintenance on Airbus A320 aircraft.
Working with complex systems in demanding environments required accuracy, self-discipline and the ability to remain composed under pressure. It also strengthened Andy’s ability to diagnose faults methodically and adapt to unfamiliar challenges.
These qualities transfer naturally to locksmithing. From identifying the cause of a faulty locking mechanism to carefully repairing or replacing its components, Andy brings a practical mindset, considerable technical experience and a strong attention to detail to every job.
Andy completed LockRite’s intensive five-week locksmith training course. This specialist locksmith training allowed Andy to build upon his extensive engineering experience while developing the knowledge and skills required to assist local customers with their lock issues.
