Clear pricing builds trust
Locksmiths often meet customers at their worst moment: locked out at night, or just burgled. Pricing complaints in this trade usually come from customers who didn't understand the cost until the end. A clear, itemised invoice protects your reputation. Split it into:
- call-out, showing whether it was daytime or out of hours;
- labour, such as non-destructive entry, mechanism repair or fitting;
- parts, naming the product, such as "TS007 3-star anti-snap euro cylinder".
Name the security standard
Customers and insurers care about standards. If you fitted a British Standard mortice lock or a 3-star anti-snap cylinder, say so on the invoice. Some home insurance policies require particular lock standards, and a detailed invoice is the customer's proof.
Insurance and landlord jobs
After a burglary, customers often claim the cost of new locks from their insurer. Add the date, the property address and a short note of what happened, such as "Lock change following forced entry, 10 November". Letting agents also need a proper invoice before they can recharge a landlord, so put the property address in "Job address".
Getting paid
Many locksmith jobs are paid on the spot by card. In that case, use the locksmith receipt instead, or send this invoice marked with "Paid by card on the day" in the notes.
Frequently asked questions
Should I show the out-of-hours rate separately?
Yes. It explains the higher price and avoids disputes.
Do I need to list the lock model?
It's very helpful, especially for insurance claims and future key cutting.
Do locksmiths charge VAT?
Only if they're VAT-registered.
