Stephen
Archie was fantastic. He deserves the five stars given. Not only did he come in at the budget provided, but communicated several times and promptly on text and email. He arrived on time and even though we had supplied him with what a keylock company had said we needed - it was wrong - he went out and got the correct locks that were needed for the job and never charged extra or anything. He sent us an invoice after the job and we paid him. Simple. What a joy to get 5 star service in the current climate.

Factors to consider when hiring a locksmith
It’s really important that you choose a reliable locksmith service to carry out work on your home. Failing to do this can result in unnecessary stress and expensive repairs.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your locksmiths:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the locksmith services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local lock repair and replacement companies.
Local tradespeople are more likely to respond quickly – especially during an emergency – as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help. Post a job today to request a quote.
How much does it cost to hire a locksmith?
How much it will cost you to replace, upgrade or repair your locks depends on a few factors, such as the type of lock you have or want and where you live in the UK.
On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £80 and £200 to replace a set of locks, though more advanced, premium models can cost upwards of £400.

Other locksmith FAQ's
Should I change my locks if my keys are lost or stolen?
If you cannot find your keys after retracing your steps, it is highly recommended that you change your locks as soon as possible, even if you have a spare set. Failing to do so compromises your home security and can completely invalidate your insurance policy if a break-in occurs with no visible signs of forced entry. Contacting a mobile emergency locksmith will allow you to secure your property and regain complete peace of mind within twenty-four hours.
What should I ask a locksmith about their insurance and experience before hiring them?
Before hiring, always ask if the locksmith carries public liability insurance to protect against any accidental property damage or personal injury during the job. You should also ask how many years of experience they have to ensure they possess the necessary expertise to handle your specific locking mechanism. When using Rated People, you can easily verify a tradesperson's track record by checking the work gallery, ratings, and reviews on their official profile.
How can I ensure price transparency when getting a locksmith quote?
To ensure complete price transparency and budget accurately, you should ask for a clear cost estimate before any work begins on your home. The total price will depend heavily on your location in the UK and the exact scope of the project, so it is best to provide as many details as possible when posting your job. This prevents unexpected emergency call-out fees and ensures both parties agree on the final rate upfront.
