You approve the scope first. A wrecked multipoint or a shutter can take longer than a cylinder swap.

How a quote works from SE1

02

From

What from means on this page

Each from-cost is a starting band for a straightforward job in social hours, with common hardware and street access. An unlock from £95 assumes we can open without drilling. A cylinder from £110 assumes a standard euro on a square door. Night work, dual locks, BS 3621 and restricted keyways sit above the floor.

03

Night

Night rates, weekends and the surcharge

Late evening rises to £110/hr. After midnight it is £125 to £160/hr. We name the band on the phone and confirm it at the door. How we move after dark: emergency locksmith. Forced doors: burglary repairs.
