The cost to get a lock changed typically falls between £50-£150. However, the type of lock you have and where you live can affect the price.
More complex locking systems, such as five-lever mortice deadlocks and whole-house upgrades, can take longer to complete, so this may be reflected in the cost.
The time of day and how quickly you need the work done can also affect the price. Locksmiths will usually charge more for out-of-hours jobs, while emergency callouts may come with an additional fee of up to £100.

When hiring a locksmith, it’s wise to choose a local locksmith and get three quotes for comparison. To find a locksmith near you that's right for the job, check that they:
● Are approved by the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA).
● Have insurance in place and offer guarantees for their work.
● Can provide references and proof of qualifications. Qualifications from UKLA, for example.
● Have done similar jobs before.
A single lock change usually takes between 30 minutes and two hours. However, if the job requires extra work, such as repairs to a door or frame, it could take longer.
In most cases, it’s possible to remove a snapped key from a lock. So, you shouldn’t need to replace the lock. However, you should avoid trying to do this yourself. Locksmiths have special tools to safely extract a broken key without damaging the lock.
Lock snapping refers to a method used by burglars to gain entry to homes. It exploits a weakness in some euro cylinder locks. If you’re worried about the locks on your doors, ask a local locksmith to upgrade them to anti-snap locks.
Ideally, all openable windows in your home should have locks fitted to improve security. Most home insurers expect you to have window locks, so it’s worth making sure your home security is up to scratch.
No, locksmiths are able to help with window locks too. Some locksmiths can help with other security problems, including lock repairs and replacements for cars, garages and safes. Most locksmiths can also fix faulty door and window handles. You can also turn to locksmiths for advice on security and access issues.
Emergency locksmiths provide a fast response when you’ve lost your keys, been locked out of your house or business, or need your home secured after a break-in.
A rim cylinder lock, also known as a Yale lock, is a type of nightlatch that’s key and lever operated. They’re commonly found on timber doors. A euro cylinder lock is a type of barrel lock, typically found on composite, uPVC and aluminium doors. Euro cylinder locks are a more secure type of lock. But you should check that the lock carries the BSI Kitemark and a three-star rating, or meets the Sold Secure Diamond Standard, to ensure it’s resistant to snapping, drilling, picking and bumping.
A reputable locksmith should offer a guarantee for the work they complete and warranties on the parts they provide.
