Get a key
Use this service to buy a key for an existing alley gate including if you’ve:
- moved into Swale and you’re in a gated area
- lost or damaged your key and need a replacement
- already got a key but you need spares
You’ll automatically receive an alley gate key if a new gate is installed in your street.
You’ll need to pay £23.30 for additional or replacement keys.
You won’t need to pay if you’ve moved and your new address is in a gated street.
Before you get started
To buy a new or replacement alley gate key, you’ll need proof of address which can include a utility or Council Tax bill or a tenancy agreement.
To buy an alley gate key, you'll need to contact:
- Sheppey Gateway for gates in Marine Town, Sheerness
- Swale House for gates in Murston, Sittingbourne
What happens next
We’ll issue you with an alley gate key immediately once you’ve confirmed your address.
