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.

Duplicate Brisant Ultion compatible dimple keys for high security cylinders can be expensive. These keys come with a cutting card that can be used to duplicate the key, however experienced professionals will be able to cut these without the card. Sometimes key cutters will offer a quantity discount if you get 2 or more.  It's always worth asking.

The Ultion WXM is an upgrade to the Ultion lock and brings added protection and security.  The Ultion WXM two-part plug design uses molybdenum instead or brass to make it more robust. It also houses two hardened SS630 attack pins that fire when an attack is detected.  The new Ultion WXM Keys are around 33% thicker than the original Ultion Keys.  The reason for this is to allow more pin heights resulting in more picking difficulty. These keys are new on the market in 2020 and are not yet widely available in key cutting shops across the British Isles.  It's best to contact the shop beforehand to see if they are able to cut a WXM key.

The cost of buying a new pair of quality walking boots can be high, therefore having them repaired with a quality sole makes good sense. You should be aware that a cheap, brand new pair of walking boots can often be bought for less than a quality repair, however they are often inferior quality and many find them uncomfortable. A complete resole repair can be a laborious process for the cobbler so the price often reflects this. Your boots current sole is patched or removed prepped and glued, and after the resoling process the boots are finished by hand, and then usually conditioned for waterproofing. The price guide quoted here is for the entire units. However it is often possible to get the heel or the sole repaired without replacing the entire unit. These repairs can be more cost effective and just as durable, but perhaps not quite as aesthetically pleasing.
