The detail

What a good locksmith quote includes

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.

  • Security licence. The licence number, verifiable with your state regulator.

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

  • Lock brand and model. The exact lock named, not just 'deadbolt'.

  • Entry method. Pick versus drill; drilling costs more and destroys the lock.

  • Workmanship warranty. A warranty period, 12 months is the standard minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring locksmiths

How much do locksmiths typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the job — a simple key cut or rekey is usually much less than emergency entry or full hardware replacement. This page shows live pricing for local providers to help you compare options. Many locksmiths charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate and materials, and after-hours or emergency work generally attracts higher rates.
Do locksmiths charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. This fee is usually separate from labour and materials and may apply even for quick or small jobs. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum charge when getting quotes.
Do locksmiths need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Locksmithing is a licensed occupation across Australia, and in NSW licences are issued by the NSW Police Force — Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED).
