Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my locksmith bill higher than expected?

Call-out fees are typically charged upfront, and if the locksmith discovers damage requiring replacement rather than repair, costs increase. Emergency calls outside 8am–6pm weekdays attract premium rates. Materials like new locks or keys add to the total.

Should I replace or rekey my locks?

Rekeying (usually £40–£80) is cheaper if locks are in good condition but you've lost keys or want to deny access to previous occupants. Replacement (£80–£180) is better if locks are damaged, worn, or you're upgrading security. Ask your locksmith for a recommendation.

What's included in an emergency call-out charge?

The call-out fee (£85–£150) covers the locksmith's time and travel to your location, usually outside standard hours. It's often deducted from the final bill if work proceeds, though some locksmiths keep it as a non-refundable booking fee.

Are Caernarfon locksmiths more expensive than elsewhere in Wales?

Caernarfon rates are typical for mid-Wales. Rural areas may be slightly cheaper, whilst larger cities like Cardiff charge 5–10% more. Always ask for an upfront quote to avoid surprises.
