How Locksmith Pricing Works
Locksmith pricing is based on the type of service, the time required, the hardware involved, and the complexity of the situation. A simple job and a complex job may fall under the same service name but require very different effort.
Prices can also vary based on whether keys are available, the condition of the lock or door, and whether electronic programming is required. Automotive and commercial services typically involve higher complexity than basic residential work.
The estimates below reflect common scenarios during standard service hours in Houston, Texas.
Residential Locksmith Price Estimates

- Type and condition of the lock, door, vehicle, or security system
- Whether keys are available, lost, or broken
- Number of locks, doors, or devices involved
- Vehicle year, make, and key technology
- Commercial hardware grade and compliance requirements
- Time-of-day or urgency of the request
