Frequently Asked Questions

How much will a locksmith cost? To be transparent, I outline all potential costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.

The price varies by job, but most emergency locksmiths in Chelmsford can provide a quote over the phone and confirm it upon arrival – no obligation or pressure. I value my reputation over dishonest earnings, which helps you trust and feel confident.

How can I pay?

I accept cash or all major credit and debit cards via my encrypted Worldpay chip-and-pin terminal. You will not be charged for any extra transaction charges. If you are a landlord or not able to make the payment in person, we can accept card payments over the phone or via the SumUp link.

Will I be charged VAT?

Yes, we are VAT registered and charge the standard rate of VAT (20%). Our VAT Registration No. is 323366418.

Will I get a receipt/invoice?

You will receive a written invoice upon job completion, with full details of the work carried out and the parts used.

Will I have to pay a call-out charge?

When locked out, the customer will not pay until I have access to their property. I aim to gain access and secure your property in a single visit. I achieve this with a well-stocked van full of locksmith parts that are regularly required.

Will I get a guarantee or a warranty?

All new locks and other parts come with a standard 12-month manufacturer's guarantee. Some APECS cylinders come with a 5-year warranty once you register the locks on their website—details are provided at the time of fitting.

Will I need a new lock if I've locked myself out?

When trying to gain entry to any property, I will initially use non-destructive methods. Non-destructive means entry without damage to the door or lock, if you have just walked out of your property and left the key inside. By using specialist tools and with years of practice, I’m able to open most doors without damage.

Will I need a new lock if I've locked myself out? If you have lost your keys or suspect security issues, I recommend changing the lock for your peace of mind and safety.

How long will I have to wait for the locksmith to arrive? To help you prepare, please provide details about your location and the nature of the emergency when calling.

For emergency responses, I aim to arrive within 1 hour, prioritising older people and those with young children. Typically, response times are around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and conditions. I value honesty over promises so that you can trust my reliability.

Will the locksmith have the necessary parts in his van?

As a former warrant locksmith, I’ve built up a comprehensive stock of locks, cylinders and mechanisms to cover all eventualities. If a lock isn't available on my van, I can use temporary repair locks to secure your door while parts are ordered. Most parts are next-day delivery. Unlike many other locksmiths, I never charge extra for a return visit when parts are ordered. You will only be charged the original quoted price for parts and labour. A small deposit is sometimes required for special-order items.
