House Lockout Pricing

A standard house lockout typically runs $75 to $150 during normal daytime hours. Overnight or holiday calls can run higher since they require immediate dispatch outside a normal schedule. The exact number depends on the lock type and how the door is secured, not just the time of day.

Rekeying Pricing

Rekeying a single lock is usually less expensive than replacing it, often in the $20 to $40 per lock range depending on the lock brand and how many locks need to match one new key. A whole-house rekey after moving in is one of the most common and most affordable services we do.

Lock Replacement Pricing

Replacing a deadbolt or lockset costs more than rekeying since it includes new hardware. Pricing depends heavily on the lock brand and grade you choose, from basic residential deadbolts to higher-security options.

Car Key and Fob Programming Pricing

Car key and fob programming pricing varies more than any other service, since it depends entirely on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. As a general rule, it costs meaningfully less than a dealership quote for the same key, since we do not carry dealership overhead.

Commercial Locksmith Pricing

Commercial jobs like master key systems and access control are priced based on the number of doors and the complexity of the key hierarchy, so these are quoted individually rather than as a flat rate.
