 | These locks were popular in the 90's for timber doors hinged on the left or the right. They can be very expensive to replace. | £ 195 | £ 250 | |
 | Most of the time, the reason why locksmiths charge a lot for their service is because of the clients’ urgency. If you need to change your locks immediately and outside the usual business hours, you may expect to pay more for the service. Along with this, locksmiths may also charge more if they have to travel a distance to get to you. A good locksmith should be able to open this in a matter of minutes with no damage to the lock, however if the lock has failed or the snib has malfunctioned, drilling may be the only option. | £ 75 | £ 130 | |
 | Euro Cylinder locks are most commonly seen on residential properties with UPVC doors.
The prices quoted here are for non emergency callouts on standard (Non BS) euro locks. If you have lost the keys, and the door is locked, there will usually be an extra charge depending on the labour involved.
In an emergency or out of hours situation, the prices will usually increase around 25 %. British Standard locks will usually be dearer also. | £ 75 | £ 110 |

 | These keys are for the relatively high security Garrison lock. Originally a plastic security card with a 7 Digit key code was supplied with these locks.
The code series range is 1111111 to 6666666. If you no longer have the key code, don't worry as many good key cutters will be able to duplicate this key from the original. Alternativy, if you have lost your key but still have the key card, then a good key cutter will be able to make a new key from the number on the card. | £ 12 | £ 18 | |
 | Restricted keys are designed to be more secured than ordinary keys. These keys can be cut by very few authorised outlets. They are restricted and a letter of authority is usually required. | £ 10 | £ 30 | |
 | You can get a union pre-cut mortice key from different sources and even online. Prices are at around £5 on average but can also go upwards of £8. The cost really depends on the key-cutting shop that you choose. Big-named shops can be more pricey. If you want a less pricey key-cutter, look for a local shop. | £ 5 | £ 8 |
