How to reduce locksmith costs
If the work is a non-emergency then take your time to shop around for a locksmith. Get multiple quotes and read reviews to find someone you can trust. You could consult a double glazing company, however the only option they will give you is to replace rather than fix.
You may be tempted to do the work yourself, however we do not advise this. You could invalidate your insurance policy if the work is not carried out by a professional. UPVC locks are all different and some may even be obsolete, so you would need to call a locksmith to completely replace the part or mechanism. Many types of locks are very unique or old and can only be sourced from trade only suppliers sometimes based overseas.
Don't be shy, contact us to discuss any work you may be interested in doing.
Our locksmiths work on a fixed, hourly rate, no call out charge. There is a minimum one hour charge, any extra time spent on the job is billed by 15 minute increments and advised ahead of time. The locksmith will always advise prices and procedure before going ahead with the job.
