FAQ
What does the Locksmith estimate?
Locksmith gives you a planning-stage cost range to work from before you call a locksmith. Use the range to sanity-check a quote before booking; if a price is well outside it in either direction, ask what's included or excluded that would explain the gap.
What should I check before comparing quotes?
If your quote is below this range: verify the quote is the total, not a 'starting at' service-call rate. A common pattern is a low online quote that excludes the actual work — drilling, parts, or rekeying labor — and ends up significantly higher on site. If your quote is above this range: confirm whether emergency or after-hours pricing is being applied. Late-night lockouts often run 2–3x scheduled rates for the same task.
Is this a quote from a provider?
