Why We Quote Each Job on the Phone
Locksmith work covers everything from opening a car door to programming a push-to-start key. One flat price list would either overcharge simple jobs or leave out the details that matter on harder ones. So we ask a few quick questions and give you a real price for your job.
The quote you hear on the phone is the price we expect to charge. If we find something different when we arrive, such as a damaged lock that cannot be rekeyed, we explain it and give you the new price before doing any extra work. You decide whether to go ahead.

What Changes the Price, Service by Service
Here is what moves the price for each of our main services.
Car key replacement
Key type matters most: basic metal keys cost the least, chip keys more, and smart keys the most. Making a key with none left takes longer than copying one.
Key fobs & programming
The price depends on the fob or smart key for your vehicle and how much programming your car needs before the new fob works.
Car lockouts
Most lockouts are quick. The vehicle type and where it is parked can affect the price.
House lockouts
The type of lock on the door and whether you also want a rekey afterward change the total.
Rekeying
Priced mainly by the number of locks. Rekeying usually costs less than replacing locks, because your existing hardware stays.
Lock change & installation
Depends on the hardware you choose, such as a standard deadbolt, a keypad or a smart lock, and whether the door needs any fitting work.
Key duplication
Simple house keys are inexpensive to copy. Restricted or high-security keys cost more.
Commercial work
Number of doors, the type of hardware and whether you want a master key system all change the price.
Safes
Depends on the safe, the lock type and whether it can be opened without drilling.
Locksmith or Dealer for Car Keys?
Many drivers assume the dealer is the only place to get a new car key. For most makes, a mobile locksmith is the cheaper and faster choice. When every key is lost, a dealer usually needs the car brought in, which can mean paying for a tow on top of the key and waiting for an appointment.
We come to the vehicle, cut the key and program it there. Call with your year, make and model and we will tell you the price, so you can compare before deciding. See our car locksmith page for everything we do for vehicles.
Watch Out for "Cheap Locksmith" Scams
A very low price on the phone is not always what it seems. Be careful if you see any of these signs, from any locksmith.
- A very low phone price that grows into a big bill on arrival
- No clear business name when they answer the phone
- An unmarked vehicle and no way to confirm who they are
- Insisting on drilling or replacing a lock right away on a simple lockout
- Refusing to give a price before starting work
- Cash only, with no invoice or receipt
An honest locksmith tells you the price up front and explains any change before doing extra work. If something feels wrong, you can say no.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Fernley?
It depends on the job, the type of lock or key and where you are. Call (775) 302-1280 with the details and we will give you an upfront quote before we drive out.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Usually, yes. Rekeying keeps your existing locks and only changes the pins inside, so you pay for labor and keys instead of new hardware.
Why won't you give a price without the car's year, make and model?
Car keys vary a lot between vehicles. The year, make and model tell us the key type and programming needed, so the quote is accurate.
Will the price change after you arrive?
Only if the job is different from what was described, such as a damaged lock. We explain why and give you the new price before doing any extra work.
Do you charge more outside Fernley?
Jobs further away can include more travel time. Any travel is included in the quote we give you on the phone.
