Opening a door after a lockout costs € 75 to € 175 during the day, including call-out costs. Replacing a cylinder costs € 65-180 per cylinder, a complete lock € 95-250, burglary damage repair € 150-450. In the evening, at night and at weekends a surcharge of roughly 50-100% applies. Always ask for the total price upfront.

Before the locksmith sets off, ask for one fixed total price: including call-out costs, labour, surcharge and VAT. A reliable company simply states it on the phone and sticks to it. Be wary of prices that are only set 'on site' and of pressure to pay cash immediately. We expect affiliated locksmiths to give a total price upfront — companies that fail to do so are removed from the platform.

There is no legally protected quality mark for locksmiths — anyone may use the title. Product certifications do exist: SKG stars on locks and hardware, and the Police Quality Mark for Safe Living (PKVW) for the home as a whole. So check the company itself: Chamber of Commerce registration, insurance and a total price upfront. That is exactly the check we run before a locksmith receives requests.

For a lockout or a home that no longer locks, affiliated locksmiths give your request priority and respond as soon as possible. For planned work — lock replacement, an upgrade — professionals also respond as soon as possible with a price indication, and you schedule the job at a time that suits you (day rate).
