Find more locksmith work across the UK
Customers need a locksmith at short notice, and also plan upgrades after a move or a break-in. Arkadia Connect sends alerts for locksmith jobs in your area, so you can respond to the work that suits you.
Jobs customers post for locksmith work
Locksmith jobs range from an urgent lockout to a planned security upgrade. Typical examples include:
- A lockout from a home, shed or communal door
- A lock change or replacement after lost keys or a move
- A uPVC or composite door that will not lock, or a loose or broken handle
- Key cutting and spare keys for standard locks
- Window locks fitted or replaced
- Anti-snap cylinders and thief-resistant locks fitted as a security upgrade
- A safe to open when the key or code has been lost
What customers ask locksmiths
Locksmith customers usually want to feel safe about who is coming to the door. Common questions include:
- Whether you can give a price before you start, and what it covers
- Whether you can open the lock without damage, and what happens if you cannot
- Which standard a replacement lock meets, such as BS 3621 or TS 007
- Whether you can show ID when you arrive
- Whether you carry public liability insurance, which is optional on Arkadia Connect
How job alerts work for you
Locksmith jobs are local and often urgent, so an accurate base postcode matters. Customers can mark a job urgent, and traders who are available now see urgent jobs first. If you also fit window and door hardware or alarms, add those trades to your profile too.
Arkadia Connect is new, and open to traders across the UK. The jobs you see depend on what customers post in your trades and area.
Plans and prices
Pick the plan that fits the area you work in. Pay monthly, or pay yearly to save. There are no charges per lead.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile | £9.99 | £99.90 | Profile only, no job alerts |
| Starter | £19.99 | £199.90 | Job alerts for up to 2 trade categories within about 10 miles |
| Pro | £39.99 | £399.90 | Job alerts within about 30 miles |
| Unlimited | £59.99 | £599.90 | Nationwide job access and unlimited trade categories |
Only up to 3 traders can take up each job, so you are not competing with a crowd. Starter covers 2 trade categories. Locksmith pairs well with Windows & Doors and Alarms & Security, so choose the two that match the work you want.
No jobs, no charge
If no job matching your trades and area is posted during a full calendar month of your paid plan, your next month is free.
Applies to monthly Starter, Pro and Unlimited plans (not the Profile plan). A matching job is one posted on Arkadia Connect in one of your trade categories and within your plan's area. Your account must be approved and active for the whole calendar month. The free month is applied to your next monthly payment. For yearly plans, we add one free month to the end of your plan instead. It can't be exchanged for cash. Read the full terms
You can pause a monthly plan for 1 or 2 months, up to 2 months a year, from your dashboard. You will not be charged while paused.
Free profile setup: tick the box when you sign up and we'll call you to set it up.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to work as a locksmith?
We do not set a trade-specific licence for locksmiths. Standard ID and business documents apply, and public liability insurance is optional. If you hold a trade membership, you can add it to your profile.
Can I take emergency lockouts?
Yes. Customers can mark a job urgent. Traders who are available now see urgent jobs first, and you can switch Available now on from your dashboard when you are free to take them.

Yes. If you're on holiday or too busy, you can ask to pause a monthly plan for 1 or 2 months (up to 2 months a year) from your dashboard. We'll confirm by message. You won't be charged and won't get job alerts while paused.
Is there a fee when I respond to a locksmith job?
