How this calculator works
Pricing bands are based on public surveys from HomeAdvisor and Angi covering national-average residential, automotive, and commercial locksmith service prices. The calculator applies a time-of-day multiplier (business / evening / overnight / holiday) and a travel surcharge of $1.50/mile beyond the first 10 miles.
This is a national-average estimate — not a binding quote. Final price depends on specific hardware, local labor rates, and unique job conditions. For an exact quote, contact a licensed locksmith in your area.
Locksmith pricing — FAQ
Common questions about locksmith pricing in the United States.
How much does a residential lockout cost in the US?
Most residential lockouts in the US cost between $75 and $200 during business hours, with surcharges of 25–75% for after-hours, overnight, or holiday calls. Average is around $150 nationally per HomeAdvisor and Angi pricing surveys.
How much does it cost to rekey a house?
Rekeying a residential house typically costs $30–$60 per cylinder during business hours, with a typical 4-door home running $120–$240 total. Commercial rekey is higher (often $50–$120 per cylinder) due to higher-security hardware.
Why are after-hours locksmith calls more expensive?
After-hours locksmith calls typically carry a 25% surcharge for evenings and weekends, 50% overnight (10pm–6am), and up to 75% on major holidays. This reflects the on-call cost structure of running a 24/7 locksmith operation.
