01 — Questions
Your questions before we arrive
What people in Zemst ask before confirming.
How long before the locksmith arrives?
The time is stated on the phone based on the team's position and traffic; we prefer a true time to a twenty-minute promise. If you are safe at a neighbour's, say so: a planned visit in working hours avoids the evening surcharge. See the prices →
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. Request a quote →
What do I need to have with me when the locksmith arrives?
An ID card and, if possible, a document linking your name to the address: lease, energy bill, official letter, or your banking app showing the address. If everything is inside, we check identity at the moment of opening, before leaving you alone in the property. See the prices →
What does an on-call locksmith cost at night, on Sunday or on a public holiday?
In the evening, at night, on Sundays and public holidays, labour at FUSE carries a 50 to 100 % surcharge, and we give you the exact amount on the phone. If you have somewhere to sleep, an opening or cylinder replacement the next day in working hours is done at the base rate. Request a quote →
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. See the prices →
Opening a slammed door (not locked) in Zemst: 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 Zemst, and the invoice separates call-out, labour and parts. Request a quote →
Do you really cover Zemst (1980)?
Yes. Zemst is in our area, Flemish Brabant included. The nearest municipality we also cover is Vilvoorde, 6.8 km away. The slot is confirmed by phone before the technician leaves. See the prices →
Can a locksmith open or replace an armoured door or a multipoint lock in Zemst?
FUSE SERVICES carries out opening an armoured door that is locked and multipoint lock replacement with 3 to 5 points. Technicians attempt non-destructive opening first, and no drilling takes place without getting your agreement. Request a quote →
What happens if a key is broken inside the lock cylinder in Zemst?
Locksmiths handle opening a standard door that is locked as well as standard cylinder replacement. No cylinder is replaced if the lock works and you still have your keys, and no drilling happens without prior agreement. See the prices →
How is the price agreed before a locksmith attends in Zemst?
The amount is stated on the phone before the technician leaves. You pay no amount other than the one stated on the phone, unless the door is not as described and you have accepted the new price. Request a quote →

- incl. 21 % VAT

04 — Scope
What we do at your place
One technician comes to Zemst, one itemised invoice.
Locksmithing in Zemst 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 1980, 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.
