Some of what we look at
A few of the things we weigh up before writing our overall take on each provider.
Price
Published prices for opening, repairing and replacing locks, call-out or transport charges, after-hours surcharges, and whether GST is included.
Quality
Whether doors are opened without damage where possible, and whether new or repaired locks, gates and letterboxes work smoothly and last.
Customer service
How quickly they reply, whether the price is agreed before work starts, and how they handle problems or complaints afterwards.
Ease of booking
How to reach them, whether they take urgent and late-night calls, and how soon someone can arrive.
Reliability
Whether they turn up when promised, charge what was quoted, and stand behind any warranty on parts and work.

Vincent Locksmith
Vincent Locksmith is a small mobile locksmith, often described as a couple, that says it started in 2006. It opens, repairs and replaces manual locks, but doesn't cut keys or work on digital locks. Customers say they reply quickly, come the same or next day and suggest a cheaper repair over a full replacement. It keeps daytime hours, and a fee applies even when little work is needed; one customer wrote that “the whopping $40 for just transport cost was unbelievable” (Google review, 2024).
A good choice for repairing a manual lock during working hours. For a late-night lockout or a digital lock, we'd look elsewhere.

ASSIST Locksmith Singapore
ASSIST Locksmith says it has more than 20 years in the trade and handles lockouts, lock replacement and new installations. Most reviews praise quick replies, on-time arrivals and efficient fixes on door and gate locks, and new locks come with a 90-day one-for-one exchange. The weak spot is dependability when it's busy, with a door damaged during one replacement and the owner citing a manpower shortage. One customer whose booking fell through on the day wrote: “A very unreliable service even thou appointment was made in advance.” (Google review, 2025).
A good option for a quick lockout or a straightforward lock replacement. If you need a guaranteed appointment, have a backup in mind.

JP Lock Solutions
JP Lock Solutions is a mobile locksmith, and reviews name Jason as the locksmith. He handles lockouts, stuck keys and lock replacements. Customers describe him arriving within about 30 minutes, patiently freeing stuck keys, opening doors without damage where possible and explaining the options before replacing anything. The limit is that there's little to test it against: most reviews are recent and nearly all name the same locksmith, so how it copes at busy times is unknown.
A good pick for a stuck key or jammed door before 9pm, if you're happy with a one-person operation. Confirm the price first, as nothing is published.

Alex Locksmith
Alex Locksmith says it has more than 20 years' experience and goes beyond doors to digital locks, cars, motorcycle keys and safes. Many reviews are about late-night call-outs, with Alex arriving quickly, opening doors and digital locks without fuss and giving useful phone advice. Recent critics mention an urgent 10pm call told to ring back the next day, a $150 lockout and a curt reply to someone comparing quotes. One customer who had seven keys copied wrote, “Among the duplicate keys, 4 of them couldnt work” (Google review, 2026).
A good call for a late-night digital lock or vehicle lockout. For key copying we'd look elsewhere, and agree the price before the door is opened.

Ace Locksmith Singapore
Ace Locksmith Singapore says it has been around since the 1990s, handling lock repairs, replacements and emergency lockouts. Many reviews name David for replying early in the morning or late at night, and arriving when promised. The trade-off is price certainty and phone manner, with a $100 PayNow deposit requested before coming out and a two-lock quote that became a higher bill for one (the owner says the price was explained first). That last customer's advice: “Beware what is quoted and final price.” (Google review, 2024).
A reasonable option for an urgent lockout at odd hours. Confirm the full price for the exact number of locks, and ask before paying any deposit.

Keyeo Locks & Security
Keyeo Locks & Security works from mobile vans, covering lockouts, lock repairs, digital locks, safes and a lot of car and motorcycle key work. Reviews are all positive, and many name Joel for patient phone troubleshooting of digital locks and access cards, and honest advice. The catch is that many reviews concern vehicle keys rather than homes, and its review base is smaller than most here. The only criticism is mild: “The duplicated key is rather rough in term of quality with sharp edges” (Google review, 2023).
A strong pick if a car or motorcycle key needs sorting alongside a home lock. For home-only jobs, others here have more home reviews.

AA Urgent Locksmith
AA Urgent Locksmith, which also trades as Cheap Locksmith Singapore, covers homes, businesses and vehicles, from unlocking and rekeying to safes and door adjustments. Reviews mention arrival within 30 minutes to an hour, same-night help with lost keys and a friendly locksmith. The concern is how current that record is, since many reviews are several years old. Critics found a $90 padlock bill high, and one wrote: “Hotline staff mumbled on the phone and rather curt” (Google review, 2023).
An option for same-night help with lost keys or a misaligned door. Agree the price on the phone before the locksmith sets off.

First Locks
First Locks is part of 1st.services and handles most kinds of lock, including digital and smart locks, with no separate transport or call-out fee. It gives the full price before work begins, and parts carry a 6-month warranty. Most reviews describe friendly technicians who work quickly. Punctuality is the clear weak point, with technicians arriving hours late or not at all, often without a call. One wrote, “Luckily I did not pay in advance as requested.” (Google review, 2025).
A good choice for a planned digital or smart lock job with clear upfront pricing. For an urgent lockout we'd look elsewhere, and confirm your slot the day before.

Botak Locksmiths
Botak Locksmiths is a mobile locksmith that says it has operated for more than 25 years, handling lockouts, doors, gates, digital locks and vehicles. Recent reviews mention a technician arriving within the hour and opening a door in minutes, and help with a faulty smart lock. The weaker side is pricing and phone manner, with small jobs charged $60–80 without a clear price first and a $60 charge for cancelling a call-out. The latest complaint reads: “Spoke very rudely on the phone and hang up.” (Google review, 2026).
Handy for a quick lockout or a smart lock fault. Ask for the full price, including any call-out or cancellation charge, before the technician sets off.

De Master Locksmith
De Master Locksmith runs two key shops, so unlike the mobile locksmiths here you can walk in to copy keys and access cards, program car keys or get a lock repaired. Recent reviews are mostly positive, with a reply near midnight, a quick Sunday-evening door repair and complex master keys copied without fuss. Key copying is also where it slips, with copied keys that didn't work and an owner described as rude. One customer wrote, “Got my key duplicated here for $50. Keys failed to work” (Google review, 2026).
The one to pick if you'd rather walk into a shop for keys, access cards or a digital lock. Test copied keys before you leave.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Singapore?
Few locksmiths publish prices. On this page, one lists packages of $40 for basic door unlocking, $100 with a key and lock replacement and $150 with a higher-end lock, and another gives fixed rates from $39. Reviewers report paying about $50 to $120 for everyday jobs such as opening a jammed door, cutting a padlock or copying keys, and over $200 for bigger jobs. Transport charges, late-night or public holiday surcharges and cancellation fees can add to the bill.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
Reviews often mention arrival within 30 minutes to an hour for a lockout, and many locksmiths advertise a 24-hour service. In practice, late-night availability varies: some reviewers say their call went unanswered or they were told to ring back the next day, so have a second number ready.
What should I send a locksmith before they come?
Send clear photos of the lock and door by WhatsApp, along with your address and the type of lock (key, digital, gate or padlock). Quotes based on photos can change on site if the lock turns out to be different. Some locksmiths also ask for proof that you own or are allowed to access the home, car or safe.
What should I watch out for when hiring a locksmith?
Agree the full price before the locksmith sets off, including any transport, call-out, surcharge or cancellation charge, and ask before paying a deposit. Common complaints in reviews are a final bill higher than the quote, late or missed appointments, doors damaged while being opened, and copied keys that don't work. Test new keys before you leave, and ask what warranty comes with a new lock.
