Every number we charge, on one page
Most locksmiths treat prices like a secret you learn on your doorstep. Here is our entire book — the same one our dispatchers and technicians quote from. If a number on your invoice ever disagrees with this page, the page wins.
How a bill is built
- The published ranges are all-in daytime totals — trip fee and labor already inside.
- Parts are named on the quote with their ANSI grade, and you see the price before we fit them.
- The top of a range is a ceiling, not a suggestion.
- Cards accepted, invoice itemized — parts, labor, trip fee, adder, each on its own line.
After hours, stated plainly
One flat adder per visit. Not per lock, not a percentage, not a “special overnight rate” discovered at your door. We say it on the phone before we roll.
Mon–Sat, 8 am – 6 pm
no adder
Published prices apply. No adder, ever.
Evenings, 6 – 10 pm
+ $40 flat
One flat $40 on the visit — not on each lock, not a percentage.
Overnight 10 pm – 8 am, Sundays & holidays
+ $85 flat
One flat $85 on the visit. We say it on the phone before we roll.

the honest gate
Four things we refuse to price sight-unseen
A price invented over the phone for these jobs would be a guess with your money — the exact move this whole website exists to oppose.
Master-key systems
Priced from a door survey and a key-control chart, never from a phone call.
Post-burglary repairs
Frame and hardware damage varies too much to guess. We photograph, quote in writing, and coordinate with your insurer.
High-security cylinder suites
Restricted keyways are quoted per system after we confirm what your doors take.
Safes
We don't service safes at all — we'll hand you the number of a safe specialist we trust instead of learning on yours.
And after the invoice
90-day workmanship warranty on every job. 12 months on hardware we supply. Keep the invoice — the warranty terms are printed on it, not implied over the phone.

Call with any job on this page and the number you hear will come from this page. That's the entire trick — there is no trick.
