  1. Lockout Services: If you're locked out of your home or business, locksmiths typically charge a call-out fee plus an additional fee for labour and materials. The total cost is around $200 or more, depending on the circumstances and the time of day. Emergency services, especially during the night or on weekends, may be more expensive.

  2. Lock Installation or Rekeying: Installing a new lock or rekeying an existing lock can cost anywhere from $80 to $150 or more per lock. High-security locks or complex lock systems may cost more.

  3. Safe Services: Opening or repairing a safe will cost several hundred dollars, or even more for high-security safes.

  4. Commercial Locksmith Services: For businesses, the cost of locksmith services can vary widely depending on the size of the commercial property, the complexity of the locks, and the specific services required. It's best to get a custom quote from a locksmith for commercial services.
