UK Locksmith Pricing — How It Works

Emergency and car lockouts have published starting prices. Every other job is priced after an on-site assessment, because the lock, the door and the parts decide the cost. Either way, you get a fixed price confirmed before any work begins.

Where a starting price is shown, it is a starting point, not a fixed quote. What a job actually costs depends on the lock, the door and the parts it needs — so we confirm a fixed price with you before any work starts. If a job falls late at night, any out-of-hours element is included in that fixed price: you will never pay a charge that was not in the quote you agreed.

Cancellation policy

No call-out fee if the job gets completed. If we come to you and no work is carried out, a £39 cancellation fee applies. That covers the technician's time and fuel, and is standard practice across UK locksmith services.

If you call and we agree it's not a job we can help with (e.g. wrong vehicle make for a car lockout), there is no charge.

The full rules — cancellation rights, refunds and chargebacks — are in our Refund, Cancellation and Chargeback Policy.

How to pay

We accept:

Card (chip and PIN, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
Cash
Bank transfer

Payment is only taken after the job is complete. We will never ask for a deposit, advance payment, or card details over the phone before attendance.

For insurance claims

If you need a written receipt for an insurance claim (especially after a break-in), we provide:

Itemised invoice listing labour and parts
Written incident report (for burglary repair claims)
Photographs of damage on request

We're happy to email these directly to your insurance claims handler if it speeds up your claim.
