Locksmith Prices San Francisco: From $29 Service Call

Locksmith prices San Francisco start with a $29 service call. That gets a licensed technician to your door. Below is the full range for every job we do — the exact price depends on the lock, the vehicle, and what's needed, and we always confirm it on the phone before we come.

Prices include the $29 service call unless noted. Parts, hardware, and after-hours calls can affect the final number — you get that number on the phone before anyone is dispatched.

What Actually Drives Locksmith Prices San Francisco Jobs

• Service type. A simple lockout is a different job from a full lock change, a rekey, a safe opening, or programming a car key fob. Labor and time on site vary a lot between them.
• Lock type and grade. A basic residential deadbolt costs less to service than a Grade 1 commercial lock, a high-security cylinder from Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, or a smart lock that needs setup and programming.
• Time of day. Calls outside our regular 7 AM–11:30 PM hours can take longer to route a technician to, which affects the quote within the ranges above.
• Parts needed. If new hardware has to be installed, rather than repaired or rekeyed, the price includes that hardware. We tell you where you land in the range on the phone before we come.
• Car make and key type. For automotive locksmith work, cost depends heavily on the vehicle. A basic mechanical key is far simpler than a modern key fob or transponder key that has to be cut and programmed to the car.

For lockouts, that means an attempt to open the door or car without damage first. For lock changes or rekeying, it means matching keys handed to you at the end of the job. For car keys, it means a working key or fob tested on your vehicle before the technician leaves.
