We provide a written estimate before work begins. Phone quotes are free; an on-site visit carries the $39 trip fee described below. We tell you the exact price before any work begins. The displayed service price ranges include the $39 trip fee, all applicable fees, surcharges, and taxes, including night and holiday service. Final price depends on lock type, complexity, parts required, and time of service.
Why we publish our prices: The locksmith industry has a reputation for bait-and-switch pricing. We refuse to play that game. You will know the final cost before we touch a single lock – in writing or by text.

Why Are Some Prices a Range?
Many locksmith jobs depend on factors we cannot determine over the phone:
- Lock brand and quality (basic vs. high-security)
- Vehicle year, make, and model (each manufacturer prices keys differently)
- Complexity of the job (e.g., a deadbolt re-key takes 5 minutes, a stuck cylinder may take 45)
- Parts required (some smart locks cost $300+ wholesale)
We will always give you the exact, final price in writing before starting any work. If the scope of work changes mid-job, we stop and re-quote – no surprises on the invoice.
