Ok, so their are many types of lock and each has its own price. If you dont know what lock you have and have trouble describing your lock then its best to send pictures or check out this website https://www.cheapestlocksmiths.co.uk/locksmiths/locks/
The more correct information a locksmith has, the more accurate the quote will be.
The more common locks are on Upvc doors, these are called Euro cylinders and they come in different levels of security so the price i charge for these as a locksmith in Uxbridge would start from £70 supplied and fitted, the price will be higher for the more secure locks.
Other common locks are Yale type cylinders, these are found mainly on wooden doors and again these come in different security levels. If you are a customer in Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton or Southall areas the price to supply and install this type of lock starts from £65

Lock Opening Locksmith Call Out Services in Uxbridge
If you call a professional locksmith in Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton or Southall for a emergency call out, the price would depend on what time / day you call and how quickly you need to gain entry, what type of lock you have and if you have left the keys inside or locked the door and lost the keys.
If you have left the keys inside, the locksmith may be able to gain entry without damage to the lock but if the door has been locked, the locksmith may have to drill then replace the lock.
Again the more accurate information given, then the more accurate price you can expect.
Unlocking a door when the keys are inside would start from £40. If the locksmith has to drill the lock, then it gets more expensive.
So always be as clear as posible with the locksmith to recieve the best quote.
Trusted Locksmith in Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton, Southall
When you need a professional local locksmith in Uxbridge, West Drayton, Hayes or Southall
Always check reviews, best to read a few to see if they look genuine.
Unfortunately the locksmiths business attracts "cowboys" who will rip off every customer it can. Usually the sponsored ads at the top of each page on google are national companys who hire more local locksmiths to do the work. The ads attract attention by promising low prices but sometimes these companys are quite happy to add to the price by bulking up the cost once arrived. As said before the more information given on the phone, the the customer should expect a firm price given.
