Is the locksmith quote generator free to use from the van?

Yes. Fill in the lock and the attendance, download the invoice or the quote, and send the PDF from your phone. No account and no limit. Your document is not stored.

How do I add VAT to an emergency locksmith invoice?

Type the net price of the cylinder and the net attendance, then tick Add VAT if you are registered. The PDF adds 20% on top. If you are not VAT registered, leave the box off.

Should a lockout be a quote or an invoice?

If you have opened the door and fitted what you agreed, invoice it before you leave. If they want a price for a lock change you have not done yet, send a quote. A non-destructive opening and a destructive one are different lines, and the paper should say which you did.

What if the lock type changes once you see the door?

Change the line before you invoice. A uPVC multipoint lock is not a timber night latch, and an anti-snap cylinder is not a standard one. Extra keys, a second door, or a letterbox cage belong on their own rows so the total matches the work on the driveway.

Free Quote & Invoice Generator for UK Locksmiths

Create professional, fully itemised PDF quotes and invoices in under 60 seconds. No registration or account needed.

Locksmith jobs often start with a quick price on the doorstep, but the final cost depends on what the job involves. Getting someone in is a different job from leaving a new lock.

Built Specifically for UK Locksmiths

Entry or Replacement: Put the attendance on one line and the cylinder, night latch or keys on another.
Timber & uPVC: Price the mechanism you have seen, rather than the one assumed from a phone call.
Additional Parts: Agree extra keys, or furniture that has to change so the new hardware will fit, before you add them.
A Written Breakdown: Give both sides a clear record of the agreed price before you leave.

Fill out the form, generate your quote or invoice, and download a clean PDF directly to your device. Your data is never saved or tracked.

Free quote and invoice template for locksmiths

Quote a lock change when the customer wants a price before you travel. Invoice a lockout or a fitted lock before you leave the drive, from the van or the phone, and send the PDF while you are still there. The rows are the attendance and the lock. The heading is the only thing that changes.

Tick Add VAT when the lock and the attendance are net and you are VAT registered. The PDF adds 20% on top. Leave it off if you are not registered. If the price you agreed at the door already includes VAT, leave the box off and type that figure. Your document is not stored.

The same attendance and lock, sent as a message from the van, are what Pencil for UK locksmiths can turn into that invoice on WhatsApp before you leave.

What to include on a quote for UK locksmiths

A locksmith invoice should show whether they paid for a new lock or only for the door to be opened. These lines separate them.

Euro cylinder and night latch, supply and fit. The lock, named, so it is not inside the call-out.
Emergency attendance. The visit, including travel, on its own line.
Extra keys cut on site. Added when they ask, before you leave.
