Quick answers

How much does a locksmith cost for a lockout?+

A standard business-hours home lockout usually costs $120 to $220. After hours expect $180 to $350. Car lockouts are similar. Ask for the full price on the phone before they head out, including the callout, labour and any parts.

Rekeying vs replacing locks: which do I need?+

Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working; it is cheaper (often $30 to $60 per lock plus callout) and right for most situations like moving house. Replace the lock only if it is worn, damaged, or you want a different style or higher security rating.

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?+

Usually yes. Automotive locksmiths can cut and program keys and transponders for most makes from the vehicle itself, typically 30 to 60 percent cheaper than a dealership, and they come to you.

Should I rekey after moving into a new home?+

Yes, immediately. You have no idea how many copies of the old keys exist: previous owners, tenants, tradies, agents. Rekeying every external door on day one is cheap insurance.
