How locksmith jobs should be done
A good locksmith tries non-destructive entry first and only drills a lock when there is no other option. Many Dublin front doors are now uPVC or composite with multipoint locks and euro cylinders, while older timber doors usually have a mortice deadlock and a nightlatch. Many insurers expect locks on external doors to meet a recognised security standard, so it is worth checking your policy before you choose replacements.
What usually 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
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

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Will my insurer accept the new locks?
Many policies specify a minimum lock standard for external doors. Check your policy wording and tell the locksmith what it requires.
