the price book · nothing withheld
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, with 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 and adder, each on its own line.
After hours, stated plainly
One flat adder per visit. Not per lock, not a percentage, and not a “special overnight rate” discovered at your door. We say it on the phone before we roll.
Mon to Sat, 8 am to 6 pm
no adder
Published prices apply. No adder, ever.
Evenings, 6 to 10 pm
+ $40 flat
One flat $40 on the visit. Not on each lock, and not a percentage.
Overnight 10 pm to 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 it, quote in writing, and work 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.
