Four simple steps. Follow them in order and you'll get a fair price — even if it's the middle of the night.
Sticking? Loose? Failing to latch? A clear description gets you a clear quote and the right parts in the truck.
"What brands do you recommend, and why?" Good locksmiths have opinions. Schlage, Kwikset SmartKey, Yale — each has a use case.
Get the hardware price separate from the labor price. That's how you spot padding instantly.
How long is labor warrantied? 30 days? 90 days? A year? It's a quality signal — and a real one will offer something.
The questions everyone asks the moment they pick up the phone.
Most independent locksmiths will install hardware you buy. A few charge a slightly higher labor rate — ask up front.
If the cylinder is fine and only the strike or latch is misaligned, a 15-minute adjustment usually beats a full swap.
