What affects the cost of a locksmith?

Time of day
A daytime lockout is from £80. Nights and weekends are from £120.
Type of lock
Insurance-approved British Standard (BS3621) locks and anti-snap cylinders cost more than basic locks, but they are what most insurers ask for.
Damage
Non-destructive entry is the quickest and cheapest. A broken mechanism or a break-in needs parts and more time.
