How much does it cost to open a door that slammed shut?
Opening a door that slammed shut starts with a €35.00 call-out fee, paid when you send the request, then the price of the opening itself, whose indicative range runs from €8.00 to €1,600.00 excl. VAT. The amount depends on the type of lock, on whether there is damage, and on the time of day. Those ranges come from our reference price list and are shown at both Belgian VAT rates, since the rate is only chosen after the diagnosis: €8.48 to €1,696.00 incl. VAT at 6 %, €9.68 to €1,936.00 incl. VAT at 21 %. The locksmith will ask you for proof that you live there before opening: an identity card, a lease, or recent post in your name. The firm price is given on site, accepted by you in the app, and paid after the opening, with the locksmith’s invoice.
Frequently asked questions about emergency locksmiths
Does the locksmith have to drill the lock?
Not always. A door that simply slammed shut often opens without damage. Drilling is only needed when the lock is jammed, forced or a high-security model. The locksmith tells you what he intends to do before giving his firm price.
Which documents can the locksmith ask for?
Proof that you live there: identity card showing that address, a lease, an invoice or recent post in your name. It is a safeguard against unlawful openings, and a serious locksmith will always ask for it.
What if the key snapped inside the lock?
Do not try to pull the piece out with pliers or glue: it goes deeper and makes the opening harder. Leave the door as it is, pick the matching symptom in the app and describe what happened.
Is the lock replaced the same day?
If the cylinder has to be changed, the locksmith offers an available model and fits it right away. The replacement is then part of the firm price, or of an additional quote that you approve before he continues.
