FAQ

Why do you charge a flat rate instead of an hourly rate?

Because hourly rates incentivize the wrong behavior — a locksmith billing by the hour has a reason to work slowly. Flat rates mean we work efficiently and you know the bill before we start. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.

Are the prices listed final, or will there be add-ons?

The ranges shown cover 95%+ of jobs. Add-ons are rare and only happen in specific situations (all-keys-lost on a car, broken hardware that must be replaced before rekeying, etc.) — and we always disclose the add-on price and get your approval before continuing.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, plus cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Zelle. Payment due on completion.

Is the phone quote binding?

Yes, as long as the situation we find on arrival matches what you described on the phone. If the actual job is different (e.g., you said "front door lockout" but it turns out to be a high-security commercial lock), we re-quote and you decide whether to proceed.
