Four simple steps. Follow them in order and you'll get a fair price — even if it's the middle of the night.
Move to a well-lit spot. Take a breath. You have time. Don't kick the door — that wrecks the frame.
Ask: "What's the service-call fee, and the all-in price range if no drilling is needed?" A real pro will quote you.
If they say "we can't quote anything until we get there," hang up. That's the #1 bait-and-switch pattern.
Before any work starts, get the price confirmed in writing or by text. No surprises.
The questions everyone asks the moment they pick up the phone.
Almost never. A legitimate locksmith tries non-destructive entry first (picking, bumping a knob lock, slipping the latch) and explains options before drilling.
For a standard residential lockout, $75–$200 all-in is typical. Anything wildly below that range is usually a bait price.
