"I purchased a deal for $150.00 worth of locksmith service for $79.99.  JC from SUPER Lock & Key, Inc was exteremely responsive and called me within an hour of ordering the deal to schedule an appointment.  JC was flexible and worked around my schedule.  He showed up on Saturday morning, on time and ready to work.  He inspected our current locks, listened to our concerns and went to work right away.  He disassembled the first lock, explained what he was doing and looking for and showed me where the problem areas normally occur.  One of our locks was harder to turn than than the others but he explained why as he put the lock back together.  Our GC installed this lock and JC explained what the GC needed to do to fix it.  JC worked fast and was done in less than an hour.  He stood by as we inspected all 4 of our locks to make sure the keys worked.  He managed to reuse 2 of our existing Emtek keys and gave us 2 extra keys.  My GC fixed the lock based on what JC recommended and now it works perfectly.  5 stars!

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

A door lock service is performed by a professional locksmith, and the cost of hiring a locksmith for these kinds of repair tasks usually runs in the $100 to $250 range. It all depends on the type of locks you have, how many locks are included in the service, and where your home is located. Always choose reliable, trustworthy locksmiths, and get a few quotes before making your choice. 

Yes, locksmiths can design and install master key systems that grant different levels of access to various employees while maintaining overall security.

It’s possible, but depends on the design of your lock. Some door locks that lack a keyhole do boast a small hole on the exterior handle or knob. This hole’s primary function is to allow water to drain out of the lock, in addition to giving homeowners an easy spot to insert lubrication. However, you can typically use a paperclip in this pinhole to unlock the door by manipulating the mechanism inside. 

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.
