Everyone wants a number before they call. Honest answer: the same service name can mean different work on different doors and different cars. We do not publish fixed prices online because the job has to match your situation. Here is what moves the quote - then call and we will give you a no-obligation estimate before we dispatch.
At a glance
General guidance only — not a quote or guarantee. Call (647) 874-2137 for a no-obligation estimate and a live ETA for your address and exact lock or key situation.
Car lockout
Vehicle body style, how the door seals, alarms, and where you are parked all change time on site. Night and weekend calls can mean a longer wait for the next tech, but your estimate should still match the job - not a surprise clock-based add-on. We give you an out-the-door figure on the phone before we roll.
Car keys
Year, make, model, and whether you still have a working key drive blank type and programming. Some vehicles need dealer-only tools - we flag that early. All-keys-lost jobs are a different scope than adding a spare.
House lockout
Standard deadbolts versus high-security cores, frozen hardware, or damage from a break-in change the plan. We try non-destructive entry first. If drilling or a new cylinder is needed, we agree before it happens.
Our mobile locksmiths serve the entire GTA. Call (647) 874-2137 for current availability.
Rekey
Cylinder count, brand, and condition matter. Rekeying is often the economical path when the lock body is sound; replacing the whole lock costs more because parts are new. We look at the door on site if you are unsure.
New lock install
Labour depends on prep work, bore size, and whether we adapt existing holes. Hardware choice - grade, smart lock, or high-security - is a separate line in the quote. Nothing hidden: you approve parts before we install.
Bait-and-switch red flags
Be wary of ads that promise an unrealistically low service fee, then pile on charges at the truck. Ask for the full total including labour, parts, and any time-based or trip fees they intend to charge - before anyone drives. Prefer a local name you can verify over a random toll-free number.
What to have ready when you call
Car: year, make, model, and VIN if you have it. House: address, lock brand or a quick photo if you can. Share your exact pin and situation. Reputable locksmiths quote before dispatch - not after they are in your driveway.
