Spare keys are the cheapest insurance against a lockout: leave one with family or a trusted neighbour. Cutting a standard cylinder key costs € 15 to € 25; certified keys for SKG cylinders cost € 35 to € 75 and are only cut on presentation of the matching code card — exactly what makes such a cylinder secure.
Key cutting is workshop or counter work: many locksmiths do it in the shop or take the request along with another job at your home. Having a professional drive out just for this is rarely the cheapest route — so ask for it to be included when something is being done to your locks anyway.
Lost a key (rather than short of one)? Then consider replacing the cylinder instead of cutting a copy: a stray key to your address is a risk that a new cylinder closes off for good.

How do I avoid overpaying?
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.
