How Much Does a Locksmith Cost?
Lockout fees, rekeying, and car keys — what to expect before you call.
Typical prices
A service call or lockout usually runs $75–$150. Rekeying is often $20–$50 per lock, and cutting/programming a car key ranges $120–$350 depending on the vehicle.
What raises the price
High-security locks, after-hours calls, and transponder/smart keys cost more. Always confirm the total — including the trip fee — before the tech starts.
Avoid scams
Beware suspiciously low quotes that balloon on arrival. Use a local, reviewed locksmith and get the price in writing up front.
