Frequently asked questions
What does lock opening cost?
Non-destructive opening is typically 15 000 – 35 000 Ft, with a surcharge at night and weekends. If the lock has to be drilled, a new cylinder is added.
What does changing a lock cost?
An average cylinder change including the cylinder is 12 000 – 25 000 Ft. Security, drill- and snap-resistant cylinders run 20 000 – 45 000 Ft.
What should I know before calling a locksmith?
Agree a price up front and be ready to prove you live there — the locksmith is legally required to check. An ID card with the address or a tenancy agreement is enough.
Should I change the locks after moving in?
Yes. You can't know how many keys the previous residents still have. A cylinder change costs far less than repairing after a break-in.
