If you suspect someone is inside your home, or you or a child or pet are at risk in a locked car on a hot day, call 911. A locksmith is the right call once everyone is safe.
What emergency service costs
The published price list does not show a separate night or holiday rate: a lockout starts at $19 plus the $29 service call fee. Ask the dispatcher to confirm when you call. Read what emergency locksmiths do and what to expect from a 24-hour locksmith.
Frequently asked questions
How soon can a locksmith get to me?
It depends on where you are, the time and how busy it is. The dispatcher will give you a realistic estimate when you call rather than a promise that might not hold.
Is there an extra charge at night or on holidays?
The published price list shows no separate after-hours rate. Confirm the total with the dispatcher before the locksmith is sent.
Can a lock be fixed the same night after a break-in?
In many cases a damaged lock can be repaired or replaced on the same visit so the door can be secured. If the door or frame is badly damaged, a temporary fix may be needed first.
