FAQ
Questions people ask
How much does a locksmith cost in Ireland?
On the 40 figures we found from 6 sources, a daytime lockout runs €60–€300 across all of them, and €68–€95 on the two Dublin locksmiths' own lists. A lock change runs €70–€200 per lock and a uPVC multipoint lock €100–€350.
Are these prices with VAT?
Only Emergency Trade says its ranges include VAT. The other pages don't say, so ask.
Why do guides give such wide ranges?
Time of day, the lock, the door and whether the lock has to be replaced. A lockout on a pulled-shut latch at 2pm is a different job from a deadlocked uPVC door at midnight.
Is a locksmith in Swords dearer than in Dublin city?
We couldn't find a Swords locksmith that publishes prices, so we can't say. Ask for the full price, call-out included, before anyone sets out.
How do I avoid being overcharged?
Get the price on the phone, ask what's included, and check the licence. The PSA warns about quotes that rise sharply once the locksmith arrives (Irish Times, 13 Mar 2024).
