A standard lockout in London costs £80–£150 during daytime hours. Night-time and weekend callouts may cost £120–£200. This should include non-destructive entry. Be wary of any locksmith quoting significantly less — they often add hidden charges on arrival.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
Most London locksmiths on FindTrades can reach you within 15–30 minutes in central London, or 30–60 minutes in outer boroughs. Response times may be longer during peak hours due to London traffic.
Should I change locks when moving into a new home?
Absolutely. You don't know how many copies of the old keys exist. Changing all external locks when you move in costs £150–£400 depending on the number of doors and lock type. It's a small price for peace of mind.
