Price factors
What drives a locksmith’s price?
Beware fixed prices over the phone with no questions: nobody can quote seriously without knowing what door it is and what is wrong. These are the real factors.
Time
A working-hours job is not the same as a night, Sunday or holiday emergency. 24-hour availability has a cost, and that’s normal.
Type of job
A slammed-shut opening, a locked-with-key opening, a cylinder change or a full lock are different jobs with different costs.
Type of door
Standard, reinforced or armoured: the technique, the time and sometimes the materials change.
Materials
On cylinder or lock changes, the material price depends on the security level: a basic cylinder isn’t an anti-bump with a protected key.
Call-out
The town and distance matter. We work across the region and tell you clearly when you call.
Urgency
Immediate attention in the small hours carries a surcharge. If it can wait until morning, we’ll tell you that too.
Our promise is clarity: we guide you by phone before setting off and confirm the price on seeing the door, before starting work.

Do you give fixed prices over the phone?
Only when the case is very clear. The honest way is to guide you with the details you give and confirm on seeing the door, always before starting.
Why is it more at night or on holidays?
Because it’s an emergency service outside normal hours, with immediate availability and a special call-out. We tell you before setting off, never at the end.
What details help refine the price?
Your area, the type of door, whether it’s slammed or locked, whether a key is in from the inside and, on changes, the security level you want.
