The line is open

Calls are answered Monday through Sunday, all day. A dispatcher takes your details and checks which locksmith can reach you.

Price before anyone drives

Ask for the service call ($29.00) and the starting labor price for a lockout ($19.00 on the price list). Ask whether a late call changes anything. The locksmith confirms the final price on site before starting.

Waiting safely

  • Wait in a lit place: a 24-hour store, a neighbor's porch, your car if it is open
  • Keep your phone on loud
  • Check the locksmith's ID when they arrive

Next time

A spare key with a trusted neighbor, or a keypad deadbolt, removes most lockouts altogether. Avoid hiding keys under mats or planters; that's the first place people look.

Write down the price you were quoted before the locksmith arrives.
