Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate total labor costs, locksmiths sum the base wage with all components of the labor burden. This also incorporates the time spent on the job, complexity, and whether the service is performed during regular or emergency hours.
Emergency locksmith services are more expensive because the price often includes a call-out fee, premium rates for immediate service outside of regular business hours, labor, and basic tools required to complete the job on short notice. More complex situations, such as broken keys or jammed locks, can further increase costs due to additional time and expertise.
To effectively price locksmith jobs, contractors should consider several components: a service call fee (typically $84–$130), hourly rates ($85–$145 for regular hours, $150–$250 for emergency), specific service costs such as home lockout ($75–$200), rekeying ($50–$130 per lock), or new lock installation ($100–$300), and any material costs.
The average price to change a door lock varies significantly by lock type. A basic interior door lock generally costs $50–$120, a standard deadbolt lock is $120–$300, and a smart/electronic lock can range from $200–$450+. Lock cylinder replacement is typically $40–$120.
Locksmiths in the US typically charge between $85 and $185 per hour during regular business hours, with higher rates observed in metropolitan areas. After-hours or emergency services can see hourly rates increase to $150–$250.
