Locksmith in Budapest: what to know
Budapest apartments often have heavy security doors with multi-point locks, plus a separate gate or intercom at the building entrance. Being locked out, a broken key in the cylinder and lost keys are the usual reasons people need a locksmith. Prices for door opening vary a lot depending on the lock type and time of day.
A reputable locksmith will ask for proof that you live at the address and will give you the price up front.

Locksmith in Budapest: frequently asked questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Budapest?
A simple door opening typically costs around 15,000 to 35,000 HUF during the day. Security doors, lock replacement and night calls cost more.
Can a security door be opened without damage?
Often yes if it was only pulled shut. If it was locked with the key, the cylinder may need to be drilled and replaced.
What documents should I have?
Have an ID and something showing your address, such as a lease or address card (lakcímkártya), ready to show once the door is open.
Should I change the lock after moving in?
It is a common precaution in rented flats, since you do not know how many copies of the key exist. Ask your landlord first.
