Top Locksmith related questions

On average, master locksmiths charge £60 for lock repair, £70 for rekeying and changing locks, and about £60 for unlocking services. 

When you request a 24 hour local locksmith through Airtasker, they may be able to get to your location in an hour or so. The actual lock-picking can take anywhere from a minute to an hour, depending on the lock/s. The great thing about booking through Airtasker is that it takes only minutes to find an available specialist, which means less time spent waiting outdoors. 

First, Airtasker provides transparent and honest reviews from customers just like you. When you hire a master locksmith through our platform, you get to read through customer testimonials even before confirming the appointment. Next, we encourage you to ask for identification once the locksmith arrives. They will also ask you for proof of ownership, which helps to ensure everyone is protected.

To prove that you own your home, the locksmith may request a copy of the deed to your home, an ID with your address, or post with your address on it. Or, they may ask your landlord or neighbours to verify that you are indeed locked out of your home. On the other hand, an auto locksmith may request to see your car’s registration document (V5C), so it’s best to keep this handy in your glovebox.

Yes. Whether you lost your master key due to theft or negligence, it is best to get an expert to replace your door locks for your safety. A local locksmith could do this by changing the entire lock or re-pinning it instead (i.e. changing an aspect of the lock without dismantling it entirely). If you’re considering improving your home security and decor by installing a new door or are in need of burglary repairs, you can also find a Tasker nearby who can help you.

Yes, you should change the door locks whenever you move into a new home. This includes new flats and previously-owned homes. If you are renting, ask your landlord if the locks have been changed, as this is important for your security and also helps to secure their property. Need help clearing out your old place? You can find affordable furniture removal services through our platform. 

Yes, some locksmiths may be able to provide you with key cutting services. This is more affordable than having to change the locks in your home or vehicle. If you’d like to set an appointment with a trusted key cutter near you, simply place this in your task post.  


You may need lock replacement if your lock is severely damaged, such as a broken keyhole or irreparable internal components. If the lock is only experiencing minor issues like stiffness or occasional jamming, repair may suffice. Consider replacement for older, unreliable locks or if security is compromised despite repairs.

Top Auto Locksmith related questions

Most likely, they won’t. This is because auto locksmiths have several methods that won’t cause any damage to your car. These include using a slim jim, wedge, or jiggler - so instead of breaking your car’s window, request a local auto locksmith through Airtasker. You’ll get into your vehicle and avoid any unnecessary damage. 

This depends. Usually, if what you need is an ordinary key (for cars made before 1954) or a transponder key, the auto locksmith may be able to create a new car key even without the original. Note that they will ask for your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and proof of ownership before they cut and programme a new key for you.

Yes, though it will depend on the type of locking mechanism your vehicle has. Some methods include using a shoelace, coat hanger, or a rod and screwdriver. You can also take a page out of an auto locksmith’s book and use a slim jim or a wedge. While results may vary, a sure-fire way to open the door without a key is to contact an automotive locksmith in your area.

Rekeying is more budget-friendly than changing the locks of your car. This is because rekeying only involves a bit of labour on the part of the auto locksmith. Changing locks, on the other hand, requires labour and parts. Either way, you can use Airtasker to find a locksmith who can do these tasks for you. And that’s not all! Our platform can also help you find car detailing experts to see to your other motoring needs.

Yes, you can definitely try rekeying a lock yourself. To do this, you’ll need a rekeying kit specific to your car’s make, model, and year. This kit includes several keys and tools that will help you change how the lock works without dismantling the entire lock mechanism. But while you can DIY a rekeying job, it’s safer (and faster) to ask a local auto locksmith instead.

Top Lock Repair related questions

It’s normal to wonder or worry about your locksmith’s credibility. Airtasker connects you to services from trained, experienced, and trustworthy mobile locksmiths near you. Our platform has a transparent ratings system, with reviews written by real customers. Airtasker Pay also ensures that your money stays secure until your Tasker has completed the task. You can release payment only after the job has been completed.

A good lock responds well to its key. If you have trouble turning the key or if your key gets stuck frequently, then most likely you already need to call a lock repair service near you. Also, older locks tend to feel frozen or jammed frequently. Instead of forcing a key into a frozen lock, call and consult a mobile locksmith before your door lock or window lock become permanently damaged.

Lock repairs entail fixing or replacing internal mechanisms within the lock. If you’re looking to replace a lock altogether, your Tasker can remove your old lock and reinstall a new one altogether. You may need a lock repair service if your lock has frozen parts. However, if you’ve experienced a break-in or a robbery, then most likely you will need a lock replacement. Burglars often damage your door or vault locks beyond repair.

This all depends on how many locks need to be repaired or how severe the damage is. Typically, mobile locksmiths are trained to assess and repair damage within half an hour or a little longer. However, if your lock needs to be replaced, then lock replacement can take up to a few hours. Consult with your Tasker and be sure to give them as many details as possible, so that they can complete their task as quickly and efficiently as they can.

Airtasker makes it easy for you to get in touch with a professional near you. If you’re locked out of your home or your car, stay calm. Carefully read reviews posted by other customers, post your task on Airtasker and get offers within a few minutes. You can find a mobile locksmith near you so that they can get to you as soon as possible.

Yes, most definitely! Remember that this depends on how much damage your old lock has suffered in the past few years. Weathering, erosion, and mishandling are all factors that contribute to lock damage. In some cases, it would be better to call for a lock replacement service or lock installation service so that you can look forward to better security for your property.

What do locksmith services include?

Locksmith services on Airtasker cover a broad range of residential, commercial, and emergency needs. Common services include:

Locked out of your flat or office? Taskers use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to get you back inside quickly and safely. If drilling is required, they can replace the lock on the spot.

  • Yale night latches

  • Mortice locks

  • Euro cylinder locks

Peckham, Greater London, SE15

7th Apr 2026

I require the following jobs done at a terrace house in Peckham Rye: 1. Front door: replace the existing main door dead/mortice lock with a lock that can be opened from the inside without use of a key, i.e. thumb turn. Ideally, please provide 1 key per tenant, plus 1 spare for the agent = total of 5 keys. If you cannot do this, please let me know how many keys you can provide and I will arrange with the tenants to organise additional copies. 2. Bedrooms: neatly fill all bedroom door keyholes with a solid filler to ensure that the locks are rendered permanently inoperable. There are 3 bedrooms but I don't recall if they all have keyholes, there might just be two. 3. Bathrooms: remove the latches on the upstairs and downstairs bathroom doors and add a privacy lock which can be operated by thumb-turn mechanism alone. There are 2 bathrooms with one door each. I have photos of some but not all the doors in question (apologies for the poor quality one, this is a screenshot from a video I took of the middle bedroom). EDIT: I would need you to provide all materials. You will need to coordinate with the tenants for access at a mutually convenient time. I will put you in touch once the job is allocated.

Locksmith needed to open locked shed – key locked inside

£30

Sherwood, Nottinghamshire

6th Apr 2026

We’ve accidentally locked the keys inside our garden shed and need someone to help us get back in without causing unnecessary damage. The shed has a keyed padlock fitted with an anti-tamper protective shroud, so it’s fairly secure by design. We’re based in Nottingham. Ideal for a locksmith or someone with experience of this kind of job. Please only get in touch if you’re confident you can open it – drilling the lock cylinder is fine if needed, as we can replace it afterwards. Happy to share more photos on request.
