What are the costs of emergency locksmith services?

We are often asked “How much is an emergency locksmith?” The cost of emergency locksmiths varies depending on the problem, time of day, and the type of service. As every situation is different, it is hard to give an exact figure without knowing the full details. It is like asking “How long is a piece of string?”, the final cost making up “How much is an emergency locksmith” will vary greatly depending on many factors.

However, here are some of the main components that make up the cost of emergency locksmiths:

Call-out fee – a fixed charge for attending an emergency, which can vary depending on the locksmith’s location and the urgency of the call. N.B. J.F Locksmiths have no call-out charge during normal working hours
Materials – any parts, such as new locks, keys, or additional hardware required during the job
Time – expert locksmiths charge by the hour; the time taken to fix the problem will affect the final cost

Other costs – additional charges may apply if there are specific requirements such as after-hours service, complex repairs, or emergency lock replacement

How do emergency locksmiths open doors?

Locksmiths help in opening doors in emergency situations using techniques such as picking or bypassing the lock that do not cause any damage. They may only drill a lock if it is totally impossible to open the door without doing so, in which case they will replace the lock rather than try to repair it. Some more specialised tools, such as lock picks, bump keys, and electric pick guns, help locksmiths perform their jobs quickly and efficiently. Be wary of rogue locksmiths who resort to invasive methods, such as excessive drilling or forced entry, which may end up causing more damage to your property.
