What changes the price
Six things that move the final number up or down
Time of day and day of week
Mid day weekday calls are usually the most affordable. Evenings, weekends, and statutory holidays can sit at the higher end of the range.
Lock type and security level
A basic residential deadbolt costs less to rekey than a high security cylinder with a restricted keyway.
Vehicle make, model, and year
Older cars with simple transponder keys are usually the cheapest. Smart proximity fobs and newer luxury vehicles cost more in parts and programming time.
Door condition and damage
If a lock has been forced or a door frame is damaged, repair or hardware replacement can add to the job.
Number of cylinders
Rekeying one cylinder is the base cost. Each additional cylinder is usually a small per cylinder add on.
Distance and access
We don't add surprise travel fees, but extremely remote rural addresses can sit at the higher end of the range.
A note on lowball quotes.
If a locksmith quotes you a price that seems impossibly low on the phone, it almost always rises once they arrive. The trick is to ask for a price range that accounts for the type of lock, the vehicle, and the time of day. That is the only quote that actually predicts the final invoice.
Our promise is simple. The price range you hear on the phone is the price range that applies on site, and the exact number is confirmed before any work begins.
FAQ
Pricing questions, answered
Why are some online locksmith prices so low?
Some operators advertise a fake low price to win the call and then raise it once the technician arrives. We do not do that. Our price range on the phone is the price range that applies on site, and the final number is confirmed before any work begins.
Will I know the exact price before any work starts?
Yes. We give you a price range on the phone and a confirmed price on site once we see the actual lock, door, or vehicle. You only approve the work once you see the number.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept common payment methods on site. Payment is collected once the work is complete and you are satisfied.
Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?
Some jobs cost slightly more in the evening or on weekends because of higher demand. We always tell you up front whether your time slot sits at the lower or upper end of the range.
Can you quote my exact price right now?
Yes, in most cases. Use the call button and describe your door, lock, or vehicle. Dispatch can give a tight range before we drive.
Is the quote free?
Yes. There is no charge to call and ask for a quote.
