Honest Locksmith Prices in Birmingham

Locksmith pricing in Birmingham varies widely — some national call-centre brands quote £49 on the phone and bill £300+ on the door. MrSpeedy Locksmith is local, independent, and quotes honestly. We provide a fixed price before any work begins, and we don't use inflated "emergency" surcharges.

The figures below are realistic 2026 prices for the most common jobs we carry out across Birmingham. Exact prices depend on your door type, lock type, time of day, and the specific hardware chosen. For a free no-obligation quote, call 07846 716954 or message us on WhatsApp.

What Affects the Final Price?

These are the five variables that move a job up or down within the ranges above. Every quote is explained line by line before work starts.

Yes. A standard Euro cylinder is fast to replace and sits at the low end of the price range. A seized mortice lock on a heritage wooden door takes more care and time — and if we need to pattern a new mortice into the existing chase it adds 15–20 minutes of labour.

If your uPVC door has dropped on its hinges or the frame is damaged, we may need to realign the door or the keeps before fitting a new lock. We explain this and give you a revised quote before doing the extra work.

A basic TS007 1-star cylinder costs less than a TS007 3-star (or SS312 Diamond) from Ultion, Avocet ABS or ERA Fortress. We fit what your insurance requires and what actually suits the door — never a higher spec than necessary. You decide after we explain the options.

No — our standard emergency call-out price is the same day or night, including weekends and bank holidays, across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Specialist parts ordered outside normal business hours may occasionally add to the total, but we agree that with you first.

For city-centre flats with controlled parking we pass on our parking cost (typically £5–£10) — itemised on the quote, never hidden. All prices include VAT where applicable. If you are comparing quotes from other locksmiths, ask whether their price includes VAT, whether the call-out is charged separately, and whether the phone quote is the final price. Ours always is.

What Our Quote Does Not Include

Honest pricing means being clear about what isn't part of the job as well as what is. If any of these apply, we'll flag them before starting and quote separately so the price you agree stays the price you pay.

  • Doors or frames that are physically damaged and need a carpenter or glazier to repair the timber, uPVC or glass before a new lock can sit properly. We'll recommend someone if you don't have one.
  • Vehicle transponder-key programming for all makes — some vehicles need dealer-only coding. We'll tell you on the phone before dispatching.
  • Removal of other trades' existing hardware (e.g. alarm contacts, smart-home sensors) if it's wired into the lock — we'll point it out and avoid disturbing it unless you ask.
  • Out-of-stock specialist parts — if you need a rare cylinder or heritage mortice we don't carry on the van, we'll source it, quote the part, and return to fit at a time that suits you.
