What's in a good Locksmith quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each locksmith's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

  • 01
    Security licence

    The licence number, verifiable with your state regulator.

  • 02
    Callout fee

    On its own line, never inside a single lump sum.

  • 03
    Lock brand and model

    The exact lock named, not just 'deadbolt'.

  • 04
    Entry method
