How to choose a locksmith

  • Ask for a total price over the phone covering call-out, opening and any lock replacement, and whether night or public holiday rates apply.
  • Prefer locksmiths who ask for proof of residence before opening a door; it protects you too.
  • For digital locks, check whether the installer is authorised by the brand, as warranties can depend on authorised installation.
  • Ask whether the door can be opened non-destructively before agreeing to drill out the lock.

Red flags

  • Very low phone quotes that rise sharply on arrival.
  • Insisting on drilling and replacing the lock without trying to pick or bypass it first.
  • No receipt or business name.

Questions about locksmiths in Singapore

What should I do if I'm locked out of my HDB flat?

If you rent, contact your landlord or agent first, as they may have a spare key. Otherwise, call a locksmith and ask for the full price, including call-out and after-hours surcharges, before they start. Have identification and proof of address ready, since reputable locksmiths will ask for it before opening the door.

Should I change my locks after moving into a new home?

It is a sensible step for resale flats and rentals, since you cannot know how many keys the previous occupants made. You can replace the lock cylinder rather than the whole lockset, which is usually cheaper. If you install a digital lock, keep the mechanical override key somewhere safe outside the flat.

Are digital locks allowed on HDB main doors?

Yes, many HDB owners install digital locks on main doors and gates. Choose a lock that fits your door thickness and gate type, and ask the installer about battery life, emergency power options and warranty. Ensure the main door can still be opened quickly from inside in an emergency.
