How much is a locksmith in Rugby?

These are the Rugby starting prices, plus VAT. Calls here run from lockouts and forced doors to new locks after a lost key, along with repairs to locks that have started to fail. Once our engineer has seen the door you hear a fair price, and nothing starts until you agree it.

    When the door is shut and the mechanism inside has broken, how hard it is to open, and the time and skill it takes, differ from door to door. We assess it first, then give you an honest final price within this range to open and fix the door. If the door has dropped and needs realigning, that is £20 to £40 + VAT extra, or £50 to £120 + VAT for a heel and toe adjustment, depending on how far it has dropped, whether the glass needs repacking or the hinges replacing, and how heavy the door is.

Choose your lock

  • Standard cylinder

    A like-for-like replacement for a worn or broken lock

    £25+ VAT

    £30 total

  • Anti-snap cylinder

    Resists lock snapping, a common way into uPVC doors

    £45–£70+ VAT

    £54–£84 total

    More

    An anti-snap cylinder has a sacrificial cut near the front. If someone tries to snap it, the lock breaks at that cut instead of in the centre, so the part that works the lock stays in the door and cannot be manipulated to open it.

  • High security 3-star

    TS007 3-star rated, the level many insurers ask for

    £70–£115+ VAT

    £84–£138 total

    More

    3-star and Diamond cylinders come with anti-drill pins, special anti-pick protection and, most importantly, advanced anti-snap heads or cuts, with reinforced protection around the centre of the lock.

Size and brand change the price. Your engineer shows you the options before fitting.

Lock changes and lockouts in Rugby

Rugby work falls into two camps, emergencies and security. The emergencies are lockouts and doors that have been forced or damaged, and a forced door is same-day work for us. Our engineer makes the property secure first and then sorts a proper repair.

On the security side it is lock changes after a move, a lost key or a break-in. We cover CV21, CV22 and CV23, from the town centre to Bilton, Hillmorton, Brownsover, Cawston and Newbold on Avon, plus the villages around them.

Rugby prices, common questions

Are you a cheap locksmith in Rugby?
We keep our prices fair rather than chasing the cheapest headline. A standard opening starts from £59 + VAT (£70.80), with no call-out fee when the work goes ahead, and the price is agreed with you before we start. Be wary of £39 or £49 adverts: a proper job costs more than that to run, so the price tends to climb at the door. One customer came to us after another firm quoted £600 and drilled a hole through their composite door that could not be repaired. We did the full job, with new handles, mechanism and cylinder, for £260.
Someone forced my door in Rugby. What will the repair cost?
Break-in repairs are priced on the day, once our engineer has seen the damage, never sight unseen. If the lock was damaged, the labour to put a new one in starts at £59 + VAT, plus the cost of the lock, and anti-snap cylinders run £45 to £70 + VAT. You agree the figure before work begins.
I have lost my house keys in Rugby. Do I need new locks?
If the keys could be traced to your address, changing the lock is the safer choice. Labour for the change is £59 + VAT upwards, and a standard cylinder adds from £25 + VAT. If you are locked out as well, our engineer prices the opening and the new lock together before starting.
I want the front and back locks changed in Rugby. What will that cost?
Labour is £59 + VAT for the first lock and £35 + VAT for the second, with the cylinders on top: from £25 + VAT each for standard, or £45 to £70 + VAT for anti-snap. The full price is agreed before anything is changed.
