What affects the cost of a locksmith?

Every door is different. These five things move the price up or down, and your locksmith explains them before starting.

  • The job: opening a door, repairing a lock or fitting a new one.
  • Your lock: a basic cylinder costs less than a high security or British Standard lock.
  • Your door: uPVC, composite or wooden doors use different locks and mechanisms.
  • Parts: a simple adjustment needs no parts; a new gearbox or mechanism does.
  • Security level: anti-snap or high security cylinders cost more, but protect your home better.

How our pricing works

  1. Call us

    Describe the problem. We'll give you an idea of the likely cost.

  2. We look at the job

    When we arrive, usually within 15-20 minutes.

  3. We confirm the price

    Before any work starts. You decide whether to go ahead. If you cancel once your locksmith has arrived, there's an assessment / call-out fee of £49.99.

  4. Pay on the day

    By card or cash, once the job is done.

No surprises: the price you agree is the price you pay. If anything isn't right with our work afterwards, we'll come back and fix it.

Getting a fair price from any locksmith

  • Ask for the price, or at least a likely range, before they set off.
  • Make sure the final price is agreed before any work starts.
  • Be wary of anyone who wants to drill or replace a lock straight away without explaining why.
  • Ask whether they're DBS checked and insured.

We're happy to be judged on all four. Call 07770 188815 and ask us.
