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.

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.

These patented keys have been on the market since 2018.  They are more expensive to buy wholesale than regular, non patented keys. If you are unsure if yours is patented, take a close look at each side of your key.  It will say patented in small writing around or under the head.  Most key cutters will still be able to cut these but they will cost more.

More Information
Replacing a key fob battery can be a bit tricky. It's best to use a local professional to ensure that the new battery is fitted correctly. Please note.  You will need to call into a local locksmith shop to get your car key battery changed.  It is unlikely that a mobile auto locksmith will offer this service.  If your remote key fob has stopped remotely opening the doors, it’s possible that the battery needs replacing. Also, if your car key only opens the doors intermittently, the battery cell may be getting running low. You should be aware that if the battery in your fob is dead, you should still be able to start the car. A dead battery in your lkey will result in the remote locking and unlocking functionality stopping. In some keyless cars, this may not be the case. A local specialist will be able to check the existing signal, change the battery and ensure it is sending a signal once the new battery is fitted.
