💶 Guide price
Cost of a locksmith to open a door
The cost of an opening depends on the time, the area, the type of door and the real difficulty of the lock. You won’t find an impossible “from €30” here: you’ll find the real factors and our promise to advise you before setting off.

Price factors
How much does it cost to open a door?
Four variables explain almost all the difference between a cheap opening and an expensive one. Have them to hand when you call and the guidance will be precise.
Time
Working hours, evening-night or the small hours; weekday, Sunday or holiday. It’s the factor that moves the price most in emergencies.
Type of lock
Slammed shut (cheapest), with turns of the key or with a key in from the inside: the technical difficulty is very different.
Type of door
Standard, reinforced or armoured. The more security installed, the more opening work.
Call-out
Your town within our service area. We confirm it when you call, with no surprises on arrival.
Beware “opening from €20-30” ads: they often end in bills of hundreds of euros with excuses about difficulty. Our commitment is real guidance first: if the price doesn’t suit you, we don’t set off and you lose nothing.
Can you give a fixed price over the phone?
Only if the case is very clear (e.g. a standard door slammed shut in working hours). Otherwise, we guide an honest range and confirm on seeing the door, before starting.
Why is it more at night or on holidays?
Because there’s immediate availability and a call-out outside normal hours. It’s the sector standard; what matters is being told before, not after.
Does the opening include a new cylinder if it must be broken?
The material is separate from the opening service and we itemise it on the spot. Cylinder ranges at cylinder replacement cost.
What details help refine the price?
Area, type of door, how it’s locked (slam or key), whether a key is in from the inside and whether there’s a security escutcheon. Two minutes of conversation avoid surprises.

After the opening
An opening due to lost or stolen keys is usually completed with a cylinder change, so the lost keys stop opening your home. If you’re interested, we do it in the same visit and you only pay one call-out.
