After midnight, expect to pay £100-£180. Most locksmiths in Sidmouth charge a fixed price agreed before they start work — ask for a quote over the phone.

What to Do If You Are Locked Out
First, check all doors and windows — you may have left one open. Check if a neighbour has a spare key. If you need a locksmith, call a local company (not a national call centre, which adds a middleman fee). Ask for an all-inclusive price before they come out. A reputable locksmith will try non-destructive entry first, which means your lock may not need replacing. If the lock does need changing, they should fit a new one on the spot.
How to Spot a Reliable Emergency Locksmith
Look for locksmiths in Sidmouth with a physical local address, not just a mobile number. Check they have Google reviews with a rating of 4+ stars. Ask if they are members of a trade body like the MLA (Master Locksmiths Association). A genuine local locksmith will arrive in an unmarked or locally-branded van, not a generic white van with no signage. Be wary of locksmiths who quote very low prices on the phone and then inflate the bill on site.
