How Much Does It Cost For James Or A Locksmith To Open A House?

This is often a difficult question for us as your local Locksmiths or any other locksmiths to answer. This will ultimately depend on a lot of factors. The first being the most appropriate one which we always consider is:-

  • TIME - If you call a locksmith at an unsociable time then the price will no doubt be a little or a lot more expensive. This can also be the same for days like weekends and also any national holidays. 
  • CHRISTMAS AND EASTER -  These two holidays are most likely the worst time to be in need of a locksmith for cost reasons for holidays. Being the most likely holiday people in the UK like and enjoy having off. The cost for a locksmith is more than likely more expensive in these festive times. As also a lot of locksmith stock sources closed during these times you may be in for a little wait for your door or locksmith needs to be fully completed. 
  • LOCK (Task Associate) - Every locksmith task is different this will certainly depend on price. The majority of locksmith companies price the tasks on the job rather than a time scale basis. People are under the impression that locksmiths should charge an hourly rate this, in our experience is not and shouldn't be the case due to the difficulty of different types of locks and situations where people need a locksmith. Usually, the way we price the job is the difficulty of the lock the more difficult the more expensive the lock is to open. 

How come Locksmiths are so Expensive 

A lot of people get confused that how can locksmiths charge a high rate for a short time of work. The reason why locksmiths are so expensive is the difficulty of locks the harder they are to open equals the more expensive it is too open. A house which has a 3-star lock is going to be far more expensive than a house with a budget lock on it too open. Locksmiths spend a lot of time to learn how to pick locks not only do locksmiths learn how to pick a lock but we learn how to open them quickly which people get offended by due to how quickly we can do it. This is because when you are locked out in Cardiff we want you back in warm and safe quickly.
 

What to Look For When Choosing A Locksmith 

It is always best and a good idea to get a minimum of 3 locksmiths quotes before choosing a locksmith to complete your work task needed. This is not always the case during unsociable hours as not many locksmiths operate a 24-hour emergency locksmith service. We recommend that in this case that you check the locksmith's background which can be things like:-

  1. DBS Checked
  2. Fully Qualified
  3. Reviews (Great option to get feedback off previous customers)
  4. If the Locksmith is insured 

Ask the locksmith direct will they pick the lock or damage the lock as this may incur extra charges for lock replacement.
