What to check before you hire a locksmith
- Ask for the total price before they set out, including call-out and VAT
- Expect to be asked for ID or proof you live there before they open a door
- Check they try non-destructive entry before drilling
- Ask for anti-snap cylinders rated TS007 3-star or SS312 Diamond
- Keep the receipt and lock details for your insurer
What affects the price
- Time of day, as night and weekend call-outs cost more
- Door type (uPVC, composite or timber)
- Lock type and security rating
- Whether non-destructive entry is possible
- Number of locks or cylinders to replace
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do locksmith quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak times?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Will a locksmith damage my door?
Most lockouts are opened without damage by picking or bypassing the lock. High-security cylinders sometimes need drilling, and the cylinder is then replaced.
Do I need to prove I live at the property?
Yes. A reputable locksmith will ask for ID, a utility bill or other proof before opening a door, for your protection.
What is an anti-snap lock?
A euro cylinder designed to resist lock snapping, a common burglary method on uPVC and composite doors. Look for TS007 3-star or SS312 Diamond markings.
