Everything you need to know about locksmiths
How much does a locksmith cost in the UK?
An emergency lockout typically costs £70-£150, a lock change £80-£150 per lock, and a full security upgrade £200-£500. Prices vary by time of day and location. Always get multiple quotes.
How do I find a reliable locksmith near me?
Check they are registered with a professional body (MLA, ALOA), read online reviews, verify their insurance, and ask for credentials. Our directory only lists Companies House registered businesses.
How do I know if my locks need upgrading?
If your locks are not BS3621 certified, are over 10 years old, or you've experienced a break-in attempt, it's time to upgrade. Insurance companies often require British Standard locks — check your policy.
What is a BS3621 lock?
BS3621 is the British Standard for thief-resistant locks. Most home insurance policies require BS3621-certified locks on all external doors. A qualified locksmith can upgrade your existing locks to meet this standard.
Can a locksmith open my door without damage?
Yes, a skilled locksmith can almost always gain non-destructive entry using specialist tools. This means no damage to your door, frame or lock. Destructive entry is only used as a last resort.
Should I change locks after buying a new home?
Absolutely. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the keys exist. Changing all external locks when you move in is one of the most important security steps you can take.
What should I do after a burglary?
Call the police first and get a crime reference number. Then call an emergency locksmith to secure your property. Most locksmiths offer priority response for burglary repairs. Our listed companies offer free quotes.
How do I avoid rogue locksmiths?
Look for membership of trade bodies (e.g. MLA, ALOA), check their Companies House registration, ask for ID on arrival, get a written quote before work starts, and never pay cash without a receipt.
