Beware of the “$15 Locksmith” Lead-Gen Scam
Many predatory directory listings advertise an impossible “$15 or $19 service fee” on Google. Once an untrained contractor arrives in an unmarked car, they claim your lock cannot be picked, drill it out destroying your door, and present an extortionate bill for $300 to $600.
- We give you a realistic price range over the phone based on your specific make, model, or lock type.
- We arrive in fully marked, equipped mobile locksmith vans.
- We use professional picking tools and non-destructive entry methods first before ever considering drilling.
- No work starts until you approve the firm written total.
Key Factors That Influence Locksmith Costs
🔒 Lock Security Grade
Basic residential cylinders (Grade 3) are simpler to pick or rekey. Commercial Grade 1 locks, anti-pick spools, and high-security restricted keyways require specialized tools and more labor time.
💻 Vehicle Electronics
A simple mechanical key is fast to cut. High-security laser-cut sidewinder keys and push-to-start smart fobs require expensive proprietary OBD2 diagnostic computers and licensed software.
🕒 Time of Day & Urgency
Standard daytime calls enjoy our lowest rates. Late-night emergency lockouts (such as 2:00 AM roadside rescues) include a modest after-hours dispatch fee to support on-call technicians.
Frequently Asked Pricing Questions
Can I get an exact quote over the phone before you dispatch?
In most cases, yes! If you describe your lock brand (Schlage, Kwikset) or provide your vehicle’s year, make, and model, we can give you a very accurate, firm quote range over the phone at (601) 305-9799.
What payment methods do your mobile locksmith technicians accept?
Every mobile service van is equipped with secure mobile card readers. We accept all major Credit & Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover), Cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and approved commercial invoicing for corporate accounts.
Is it cheaper to rekey my existing locks or replace them entirely?
Rekeying is almost always 40% to 60% cheaper than replacing complete hardware sets. If your current lock deadbolts and handles are in good mechanical condition, rekeying internal pins gives you 100% security at a fraction of the cost.
