About LocksmithsPrices
A free consumer resource for transparent locksmith pricing across the United States.
Our Mission
LocksmithsPrices.com exists for one reason: to help US consumers know what fair locksmith pricing looks like before they call.
Locksmith scams are extensively documented by the FTC, BBB, and consumer protection agencies across every major US city. The most common version — advertising $15–$35 online and charging 5–10x on arrival — affects thousands of people every day. Most victims had no idea what a fair price was before the locksmith showed up.
We built the resource we wished existed: real pricing data for 300+ US cities, a scam checker, verified locksmith listings, and practical guides — all free, no sign-up, no advertising.
Our Data Sources
Pricing data on LocksmithsPrices.com is compiled from 9 primary sources:
- ✓Homewyse national cost database
- ✓HomeAdvisor / Angi cost studies
- ✓Thumbtack average cost reports
- ✓Consumer Federation of America locksmith pricing research
- ✓FTC consumer alert documentation on locksmith pricing
- ✓BBB ScamTracker data on locksmith complaints
- ✓Direct market research across 20 major US cities
- ✓Verified locksmith invoice data (aggregated, anonymised)
- ✓State licensing board fee schedules where available
Pricing ranges are reviewed and updated periodically. Individual city pricing reflects local market conditions including cost of living, licensing requirements, and competitive density.
Editorial Standards
All pricing guides and consumer articles on this site are:
- Researched against multiple independent data sources
- Reviewed for factual accuracy before publication
- Updated when market conditions or regulatory requirements change
- Written to inform consumers, not to promote specific locksmith businesses
We do not accept payment for placement in locksmith listings. Verified status is based on presence in the Google Maps business database and available review data.
How We Make Money
LocksmithsPrices.com is supported by pay-per-call advertising. When you tap the "Call Now" button on this site, your call is connected through a call network that may route you to a verified locksmith partner. We may receive a fee if your call meets quality criteria (minimum call duration, genuine service need).
This does not affect the pricing data, editorial content, or the impartiality of the information on this site. Our guides are written to help you recognise fair prices — including when our partners are charging too much.
