Why You Should Always Rekey Your Locks When Moving
New house, new keys. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the old ones exist, and rekeying is a low-cost way to make every one of them…
Logbook
Most people only think of a locksmith when they are locked out. The trade covers a lot more, and knowing the list helps you call for the right thing.
Dispatch card
1. Lockouts. Getting you back in without damaging the door. Listed from $19.00.
2. Rekeying. New pins, new keys, same locks. Listed from $19.00 per lock.
3. Lock changes and upgrades. New deadbolts, Grade 1 hardware, coastal-rated finishes. Basic lock changes from $25.00.
4. New lock installation. Drilling a door that has no lock yet, listed from $85.00.
5. Smart and keypad locks. Fitting, pairing and resetting.
6. Car lockouts. Opening the door or trunk on site.
7. New car keys. Cut from code and programmed, from $100.00.
8. Ignition repair and change. From $100.00, depending on the vehicle.
9. Safe openings. Listed from $85.00; some methods leave the safe unusable, so ask first.
10. Commercial work. Master keys, panic bars, file cabinets and storefront locks.
Know what kind of lock or vehicle it is, and where you are. The dispatcher gives an approximate estimate and the technician confirms the price before starting. Prices on this page come from the price list; check the coupons too.
The numbers above are starting prices. Every job adds the service call fee, and the final total depends on the lock's security level, labour and any hardware you buy. For car keys, the cut and the programming change the price from one model to the next.
If a figure on the phone sounds far lower than this list, ask what it includes. A low quote that leaves out the service call or the hardware is not really lower.
