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.
