Locksmith cost

Hi.

For a high court baliff visit where the lock for the main door needs to be changed, how much is the fee charged by locksmiths?

This will depend on your local area and whether you book as a routine job in advance or as an emergency.

If you already have keys or your require a gain access as opposed to just a lock change where the barrell is accessible as the door is open. (Which you could do yourself)

Costs could be anything from £50 for a pre booked job plus the cost of the lock and VaT to hundreds if you pick the wrong guy and book as an emergency 

You'll have the eviction date in advance so get quotes from your local companies

Are you the Landlord or the Tenant in this situation? 

Assuming its a euro lock then you can change it yourself in minutes, unlikely an option if you are the tenant, and the locks are sub £50 but you need the right length, within reason, which may be a challenge in advance. A locksmith will charge you a fair wack, on an emergency call out, including gaining access you could be looking at the best part of a grand.

Depends on locksmith - and how many locks.. (back door, front door, windows etc etc..)

But if it's just a front door & a euro lock then get a new one from BnQ & take a screwdriver.

Usually worth changing locks whenever a change of occupant: You never know how many keys are out there that fit...

I paid £75 two years ago to have a front door Euro Cylinder lock changed and £90 for a similar back door lock but that was locked and couldn't be opened as the key had been lost.
