What affects the final price?
The price quoted on the phone is binding once we agree on the service. Here's what we ask about to give an accurate quote:
- Lock type. Standard Yale-type cylinder is the cheapest. Mortice deadlocks, BS3621-rated, anti-snap cylinders, or multipoint mechanisms cost more due to the parts.
- Door type. uPVC, composite, and timber doors all have different mechanisms. uPVC multipoint repairs are usually £69-£159, single Yale cylinders £88-£149.
- What's failed. A locked-out service ("get me in") is cheaper than a full lock replacement. Snapped key extraction is usually £39-£99.
- Number of locks. Multiple locks in one visit get a slight discount over individual jobs. Common for post-burglary or move-in lock changes.
- Insurance compliance. If you need BS3621 deadlocks for insurance, that's a specific lock type with a known cost. We supply documentation for your insurer.
What we never charge for
- Callout fee. No charge for the engineer arriving — only for the work done.
- Out-of-hours surcharge. Same price 24/7, including bank holidays.
- Weekend premium. Saturdays and Sundays priced the same as weekdays.
- Quote on the phone. Free, no commitment to book.
- Hidden parts costs. Quote includes the lock or mechanism part — no separate "parts fee".
How to pay
Payment is taken when the work is complete and you're satisfied:
- Card (debit, credit, contactless) — preferred
- Bank transfer (immediate, with receipt)
- Cash (rarely used but accepted)
- Apple Pay / Google Pay via card terminal
We don't take payment in advance. We don't do cash-in-hand discounts. The price we quote is the price on the receipt.
