How much does Locksmiths cost in Reading? (2026 price guide)

Standard locksmith call-outs for lock changes typically cost £70-£150 during normal working hours, including a basic euro cylinder or mortice lock. Upgrading to a British Standard (BS3621) lock usually costs £90-£180 including parts, uPVC door mechanism repairs often run £120-£250, and rekeying a full set of locks after moving house typically comes to £150-£300 depending on the number of doors.

Prices are driven mainly by lock type and brand, whether parts need sourcing specially, how many doors or windows need attention, and time of day or day of the week the work is carried out. Locksmiths registered with a recognised trade body such as the Master Locksmiths Association tend to charge slightly more but offer verified credentials.

Always ask for an upfront price before work begins and confirm any accreditation, since unregistered locksmiths are a common source of inflated bills for straightforward jobs.
