What does a locksmith do?

Locksmiths are technicians who work with keys and locks. They can install or repair new lock systems, cut and duplicate keys, help gain access when you are locked out, and more. Many locksmiths also work with vaults and lockboxes.

How much do locksmiths cost?

This depends on the nature of the work you're requesting from a locksmith. Many locksmiths have flat fees for work, especially if you're requesting emergency lockout services. Additionally, locksmiths may charge a parts and labor fee, particularly for installation and repair services. If you are not looking for emergency services, it's a good idea to get an estimate of services before hiring any given locksmith.

Do all locksmiths offer lockout services?

It's important to check with your locksmith to ensure the work you need is the work they do. While most locksmiths will have a variety of services they offer, not all of them are available for all services and many specialize in services other than providing lockout and access assistance.

What about being locked out of my car?

A car lockout can cost you anywhere from $50 to $250 depending on time, date, location, and a few other factors. After-hours or emergency response may also put you on the higher end of the scale. It's also worth noting the distance the locksmith has to travel as excess miles may accrue fees as well.

Do locksmiths do key fob too?

This depends on a locksmith but it's worth asking if they offer fob services. While replacing a basic manual key for a car can cost as little as $50, a fob will run you a bit more at $125 or even up to $250.
