It turns your service type, lock count, property type, time of day, service call, and add-ons into a planning cost. Rekey is the cheapest per lock, lock changes cost more, and after-hours or emergency service raises the price sharply.
Most locksmiths charge a base fee per lock or cylinder plus a service-call trip fee. Property type, lock grade, time of day, urgency, extra keys, new hardware, and smart lock install add to the base. Region and provider set the per-lock rate.
Locksmith pricing changes with lock type, lock grade, property access, time of day, and local labor. Always confirm the service-call fee, per-lock rate, and after-hours surcharge before booking, especially for emergencies.
A standard residential rekey averages about 80 to 150 dollars total, including the service call. A house lockout runs about 100 to 200 dollars during business hours.

Rekeying a single standard residential lock runs about 20 to 50 dollars per lock, plus the service call. Lock changes run about 50 to 100 dollars per lock, and high-security or smart locks cost more. Commercial locks run higher than residential. Set the base price per lock in this calculator to match your local market.
After-hours locksmith service adds a surcharge of 50 to 150 dollars on top of the base service call. Night and emergency calls cost more than evening calls, and weekends and holidays add the highest surcharge. Always ask for the total including the after-hours fee before the technician is dispatched.
Rekeying a typical house with 3 to 6 locks runs about 80 to 200 dollars total, including the service call. Each extra lock adds about 20 to 30 dollars.
