Quick answer
The cost depends on the job, the lock and parts needed, and the time of day. Always agree the price before any work starts.
What affects the price
Call-out or attendance: getting a locksmith to you, which can cost more at night, weekends and bank holidays.
Labour: how long the job takes and how complex it is.
Parts: a basic cylinder costs much less than a kitemarked anti-snap cylinder or a full multipoint mechanism.
How to avoid surprises
Ask for the total price before work starts, including parts. Be wary of very low advertised prices that don't include labour or parts.
Our approach
Your LockSub locksmith will tell you the price before starting, and nothing goes ahead until you agree. See our pricing page for how charges work.
