How Much Does A Locksmith Cost

Locksmith Cost Calculator

Welcome to our Locksmith Cost Calculator, the go to tool for estimating the costs associated with different locksmith services in the UK. Whether you’re locked out, need a lock replaced, or require a key cutting, this calculator will provide you with a quick and easy way to budget for hiring a locksmith.

Important Considerations

How It Works
Our calculator is designed to give you an estimated price range for different UK locksmith services, and different types of door locks, such as wooden door locks, UPVC door cylinders, multi point locks, and many more. By simply selecting the type of service you require from the drop down box, and the time you require the service, you can get an estimated total cost for the locksmith service you require.

• Price Variations: The estimates provided by this calculator are just averages and they can vary significantly depending on where in the UK you are located. For example, services in major cities such as London, Manchester, Leeds etc, may have different pricing compared to rural areas. This could be due to factors such as, regional demand, competition, and travel times for locksmiths. It’s always a good idea to contact local locksmiths for quotes that reflect your area’s pricing.

• No Call-Out Fees: The estimates our calculator generates assume that there are no call out fees. Many locksmiths charge for the time taken to travel to your location, and this fee can vary widely. If your chosen locksmith does have a call out fee, it will increase the overall cost of the service. Make sure to inquire about this when you initially contact your locksmith.

• No VAT Included: Our calculator does not include VAT in the price estimates. Value Added Tax is applicable to many services in the UK and can add 20%t to your total bill. If the locksmith you choose charges VAT please account for this additional cost when budgeting.

Types of Services Covered
The locksmith services included in our calculator range from basic tasks like key duplication to more complex jobs such as lock repairs and installations. Here are some common services the tool can estimate costs for:

• Wooden Door/Mortice Lock: Typically priced between £30 and £80, depending on the make and model of the lock.

• UPVC Door Cylinder: Estimated costs range from £25 to £70. This can vary depending on weather its a basic lock or a 3 star diamond standard lock.

• Multi-Point Lock for UPVC or Composite Door: This can cost between £100 and £200 depending on the make and model currently fitted to your door.

• UPVC Door Handles and Window Handles: Prices generally range from £10 to £60.

• Window Lock Mechanism: Estimated costs vary from £40 to £100.

• Key Duplication: Usually priced between £5 and £20, making it one of the more affordable locksmith services.

• Lock Opening and Repairs: These services are often included in the labour charge and do not incur additional costs. However, please check this with your chosen locksmith.

• Lock Opening with Replacement UPVC Cylinder or Replacement Mortice Lock: These options will add the cost of the lock to the labour charges to give an estimated price range.

Get an Accurate Quote
While our calculator provides a good starting point, we recommend contacting a local locksmith business for an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs. Many factors, such as the urgency, the time of day, and the specific nature of the service, can change the pricing.
