Another UK trade supplier locksmith Golders Green recommend with a large range of cabinet fittings, including old sized door handles, door hinges, and, yes, door locks. They are currently legally namedArmac have been in business since 1929. (And their engineering division Brass Turned Parts, since 1918)
 
In total that is 236 years of being in business for the three divisions of which only the last 7 years have seen them all working together in the one building. In a very simplistic and historical sense, brass turned parts make the parts, Armac then dress, assemble, and finish the parts, and finally Martin stock, sell and distribute the parts.

The question, which I have to ask is - How much do you charge for this type of job. The time spent visiting + research + ordering + returning.
 
Seems to me like it is a loss leader. Surely not much, if any dearer to replace lock (if one is available). I know this is not 'being a locksmith' however, first and foremost I'm in business to make money, not friends. So if this sort of work is what the customer requests I would be happy to cover it, I just think the price would be too high.

Totally agree it’s got to be financially viable for instance an 18th century cabinet worth £400-£1000 a person may be prepared to pay £100 plus for time/repair/replacement, if you’re dealing with furniture say 1950s that someone has become attached too then they pay the same or put up with no locks.

Many of these jobs are 'sprats to catch mackerels.' Do one job and you can usually get a lot more (well paid) work from it. Not only will they be happy to use you again because you have demonstrated a high level of competence (that not every Locksmith is capable of), but they will also recommend you.

Locksmith Golders Green apprentices learn loads doing this sort of work. For me it's not all about the money (though obviously I'm not in this for the good of my health), but it's also about learning and becoming a better Local locksmith. Today I went into a [shoe] shop, the boy behind the counter was bouncing a ball on the counter, business was slow.

Some locksmiths offer two rates for such jobs, if the customer really wants the original lock repaired because no modern one will fit exactly, or nothing suitable can be found new:
 
Full hourly rate, if the job is done asap. Lesser rate, if the job is done as a filler when no customer is in - if you think you have quite periods.
penned my Zone Euro double, so riding my luck I hit the lever locks and thought I'd test out my slightly changed technique, 1 open , 2 open, 3 open, check out my bad self,  let’s try a spanking new one I've not tried before.

Bang open with the first few strokes of my pick , give it another go ... hmmm think the anti is pick is on the 4th lever 5mins, 10mins, 20 mins lets cheat and look at the key, jeez it's like the cheddar gorge 1 big cut in the middle, 25 mins FFS!!! 30 minutes.

Right lets open this thing up. Bloody hell, it seems I've been lucky with all my other cabinet locks, this one has anti pick on all 5 levers and all but the 4th are on the top of the levers, so you experts over at the locksmith Golders Green shop what do you say about that.
