One of the most common questions we get is about locksmith pricing. The truth is, costs vary based on the service needed. Here's a breakdown of typical locksmith prices in the Greensboro area.

Car Lockout Service

$50 - $85

Car lockout service pricing depends on your vehicle type and location. Most standard vehicle lockouts fall within this range.

Car Key Replacement

$75 - $400

Car key replacement costs vary significantly based on key type. Basic keys are on the lower end, while transponder keys, smart keys, and key fobs are more expensive due to programming requirements.

Home Lockout Service

$75 - $100

Home lockout service pricing depends on the type of lock and complexity of entry.

Lock Rekeying

$20 - $40 per lock

Lock rekeying is more affordable than lock replacement. Discounts are often available for multiple locks.

What Affects Locksmith Pricing?

Type of service - Lockouts are typically less expensive than key replacement or lock installation
Time of service - Some locksmiths charge more for late night or weekend calls (we don't)
Vehicle or lock complexity - High-security locks and newer vehicles may cost more
Parts needed - Key fobs, transponder chips, and lock hardware add to the cost
Your location - Travel distance can affect pricing

Getting an Accurate Quote

The best way to know exactly what you'll pay is to call and describe your situation. A reputable locksmith will give you an upfront price before dispatching. Be wary of locksmiths who won't give a price over the phone or quote extremely low prices that seem too good to be true.
