What a locksmith costs (typical ranges)
Prices depend on the job, the time of day and the lock. As a rough guide for Canada, a published cost guide lists a typical call-out fee of $50–100 and a home lockout with an emergency locksmith at $100–250, depending on factors such as time and location (Green Building Canada). Always ask for the total price before the work starts, and be wary of very low phone quotes that grow on arrival.
Avoiding surprise bills
- Ask for the total price before work starts, including call-out, labour and parts.
- Ask whether night, weekend or holiday rates apply.
- Get the locksmith's name and a written receipt.
- Be cautious of very low phone quotes ("from $19") that grow on arrival.
