Frequently Asked Questions

How much will a locksmith cost?

The price varies depending on the job, but most emergency locksmiths in Maldon can provide a quote over the phone and confirm it upon arrival – no obligation or pressure. I value my reputation over dishonest earnings, which helps build trust and confidence in my service.

How can I pay?

I accept cash and all major credit and debit cards through my encrypted Worldpay chip-and-pin terminal. No extra transaction fees apply. If you're a landlord or unavailable in person, you can make card payments over the phone or via a SumUp link for a secure, flexible process.

Will I be charged VAT?

Yes, we are VAT registered and charge the standard rate of VAT (20%). Our VAT Registration No. is 323366418.

Will I get a receipt/invoice?

You will receive a written invoice upon job completion, with full details of the work carried out and the parts used.

Will I have to pay a call-out charge?

When locked out, the customer will not pay until I have access to their property. I aim to gain access and secure your property in a single visit. I achieve this with a well-stocked van full of locksmith parts that are regularly required.

Will I get a guarantee or a warranty?

All new locks and parts come with a standard 12-month manufacturer's guarantee. Some APECS cylinders include a 5-year warranty once registered on their website. Details are provided at the time of fitting to ensure you know your warranty coverage.

Will I need a new lock if I've locked myself out?

When trying to gain entry to any property, I will initially use non-destructive methods. Non-destructive means entry without damage to the door or lock, if you have just walked out of your property and left the key inside. By using specialist tools and with years of practice, I’m able to open most doors without damage.

Providing you have the key, the lock will remain fully operational. Cylinder locks can be picked, bypassed and manipulated without damage in most cases. Higher-security deadlocks require different opening methods, which we'll explain after identifying the lock and before any work begins. However, if you have lost one of your keys, it's always advisable to change the lock and have a new set of keys for obvious security reasons.

How long will I have to wait for the locksmith to arrive?

For emergencies, I aim to arrive within 1 hour, prioritising older people and those with young children. Typically, response time is around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and conditions. I prefer honesty over false promises to ensure your peace of mind.

Will the locksmith have the necessary parts in his van?

As a former warrant locksmith, I’ve built up a comprehensive stock of locks, cylinders and mechanisms to cover all eventualities. If a lock isn't available on my van, I can use temporary repair locks to secure your door while parts are ordered. Most parts are next-day delivery. Unlike many other locksmiths, I never charge extra for a return visit when parts are ordered. You will only be charged the original quoted price for parts and labour. A small deposit is sometimes required for special-order items.
