For More Complex Issues

Some locksmith situations can be more intricate and time-consuming, like addressing jammed or broken locks, smart lock malfunctions, or upgrading your lock security system. In these cases, pricing is based on the time required to resolve the issue:

Within Hours (Standard Time)

  • £90 for the first 30 minutes.

  • £70 for every subsequent 30-minute period.

Additional Costs

If you require a lock cylinder replacement, the cost of the cylinder itself is typically around £20, which will be added to the service cost. The total price will depend on the type of cylinder and lock mechanism needed for your specific situation.

All Prices Include VAT

We believe in keeping things straightforward, which is why all the prices listed above include VAT, no hidden fees or surprise costs. However, it’s always a good idea to contact us for a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.
