A standard locksmith call-out typically costs $80-$150 during business hours, covering common jobs like a lockout or standard lock replacement. Rekeying a lock usually costs $50-$120 per lock, while installing a new deadlock or higher-security lock typically runs $150-$350 including the hardware.

Price depends on lock type and brand, time of day (after-hours call-outs cost more), how many locks need attention, and whether the job requires drilling a damaged lock versus a straightforward non-destructive entry. Older or unusual lock mechanisms can also take longer and cost more to service.

Ask for the call-out fee and hourly or per-lock rate before booking, and confirm whether it's a fixed quote or time-based, since lockout situations can sometimes be resolved quickly by an experienced locksmith with minimal extra cost.
