Whether you’re fitting a state-of-the-art locking system or simply replacing a set of keys, you need to have the back-up of a good locksmith insurance policy.
Plus, having an insurance policy in place reassures potential customers that you’re covered if something goes wrong.
Locksmiths’ insurance from Simply Business starts with public liability insurance, which can cover you if a customer or another member of the public makes a claim against you for injury or damage.
You can also cover your tools under the same policy, and add insurance for your business premises and your employers’ liability if you need to.
Cover from £6.82 a month, get insured in minutes. (10% of direct debit customers repay their annual policy in 10 monthly payments of £6.82 or less across all our trades insured. Based on data from 1 October 2019 - 31 March 2020, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)

The exact insurance you need will depend on your individual business, but these are some of the key covers for locksmiths to consider:
If you have any staff, employers’ liability insurance is usually a legal requirement. This insurance covers claims made by an employee for injury or illness caused by their work.
Other covers you can choose to add to your locksmith insurance policy include business buildings insurance and business contents insurance if you have business premises, and business legal protection insurance to cover your legal fees if your locksmith business faces something like an employment tribunal or a tax investigation.
The average insurance claim for locksmiths is £4,548 – could you afford this if the worst happened? (Average claim being £4,548. Based on data from 21 November 2018 - 20 November 2019, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)
