VAT invoice handed over on site02 — Questions
Your questions before we arrive
What people in Merchtem ask before confirming.
Can the amount stated on the phone change once the locksmith is at the door?
It holds for the door you described. If it is armoured, fitted with a multipoint lock or a cylinder already damaged, the locksmith shows you and states the new amount before starting. You decide at that point. If you decline, only the call-out fee stated is due. See the prices →
What guarantee covers a cylinder or lock fitted?
New parts fall under the two-year legal conformity guarantee of Belgian consumer law; certified cylinders also carry a manufacturer's warranty shown on their card. The fitting guarantee is written on the invoice. A cylinder that seizes or a door that no longer locks within that period is redone without a call-out charge. Request a quote →
Is VAT 6 % on a locksmith job?
It is 6 % for supplying and fitting a cylinder, lock or reinforcement in a private dwelling over 10 years old, invoiced to a private individual. Opening a door on its own, with no parts or works, is a service at 21 %. The rate applied appears on the invoice. See the prices →
Can the locksmith open the door without breaking the lock?
For most slammed doors, yes: the non-destructive method is tried first and the lock stays in place. If the door is locked, armoured or the cylinder is already damaged, the locksmith explains why drilling becomes necessary and waits for your agreement; the drilled cylinder is then replaced, at a price announced before the work starts. Request a quote →
I lost my keys — does the whole lock have to be replaced?
Usually not: replacing the cylinder is enough and the lock and door stay in place. The whole lock is only replaced when the mechanism has been forced or broken, or when you want to move to a multipoint lock. If you still have your keys and the lock works, we replace nothing. See the prices →
Opening a slammed door (not locked) in Merchtem: how much does it cost?
The Belgian market in 2026 sits between €60 and €90 excluding VAT for opening a slammed door (not locked), night and weekend surcharges excluded. This is not our own rate card: your exact amount is announced on the phone before the technician leaves for Merchtem, and the invoice separates call-out, labour and parts. Request a quote →
Do you really cover Merchtem (1785)?
Yes. Merchtem is in our area, Flemish Brabant included. The nearest municipality we also cover is Opwijk, 3.5 km away. The slot is confirmed by phone before the technician leaves. See the prices →

05 — Scope
What we do at your place
One technician comes to Merchtem, one itemised invoice.
Locksmithing in Merchtem splits into two trades with different rhythms. The first is the emergency: slammed door, key snapped in the cylinder, forced lock. There, what matters is a realistic time given on the phone and an amount that does not move on the doorstep. The second is planned security: certified cylinder, three- or five-point lock, anti-jemmy strip, reinforced hinges. There, what matters is a quote where each item has its own line, so you choose the level of protection knowing the cost of each option. The table below gives the 2026 Belgian market ranges for both. In 1785, VAT drops to 6 % for fitting a lock or cylinder in a home over 10 years old; a plain opening with no parts stays at 21 %.
Locked door, lost or broken key
Picking or extracting the key fragment, opening, then cylinder replacement if the key is lost. A standard or certified cylinder is offered with its price.
Cylinder replacement
Euro cylinder, standard or certified against drilling and picking, several doors keyed alike, ownership card handed over. The old cylinder is left with you.
Multipoint lock
Repair or replacement of a three- or five-point lock, adjustment of keeps and door so the mechanism no longer binds. Fitting to an existing door possible.
After a break-in
Secured the same day, forced parts replaced, photos and itemised invoice for the insurer. Strike plate and frame rebate handled in the same visit.
Door reinforcement
Anti-jemmy strip, cylinder guard, reinforced hinges, additional deadlock, armouring. Each item priced separately: you choose the level.
Letterboxes, cellars, garages
Opening and replacing the small locks of a building: letterbox, cellar door, bike store, up-and-over or sectional garage door.
