Sarah M.

"Had all the locks changed after moving into a new flat. The locksmith arrived on time, fitted British Standard locks throughout and left everything spotless. Very reasonable price for the quality of work - well below what other companies quoted me."
James R.

"Needed new locks fitted on a commercial property. The team was knowledgeable about insurance requirements and fitted anti-snap cylinders on all doors. They even advised on additional security measures. Outstanding service from start to finish."
Priya K.

Locksmith FAQ
Answers to the most common questions we receive from customers across London.
How much does a locksmith cost in London?
Our prices start from £89 for a lock change, £95 for a new lock installation, and £85 for an emergency lockout. We always provide a clear quote before starting work and there is no call-out fee. Prices vary depending on the lock type and complexity of the job.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in London?
Our average response time across London is under 30 minutes. We have locksmiths stationed across every London borough, and in many areas - particularly Central, North and East London - response is often within 15 to 20 minutes.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?
No. Our pricing is the same 24/7, 365 days a year. There is no extra charge for evening, night, weekend or bank holiday calls. You receive the same price whether you call at 2pm or 2am.
Are your locksmiths DBS-checked?
Yes. Every locksmith on our team is DBS-checked (formerly CRB), fully insured and carries photo identification. We recommend always asking any tradesperson for ID before letting them into your home.
Will a locksmith damage my door?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Our locksmiths are trained in non-destructive entry techniques. If your lock needs to be drilled as a last resort, we will discuss this with you first and fit a replacement lock on the spot.
Should I change my locks when I move house?
Yes, we strongly recommend it. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the existing keys exist. A full lock change after moving in is one of the most cost-effective security measures you can take.
