How much does a locksmith cost in New Orleans?
In New Orleans, a house lockout typically costs $85–$195, with an average of around $138. Car lockouts run $45–$135. Prices vary by time of day, service type, and how complex the lock is.
What is the average locksmith call-out fee in New Orleans?

How do I avoid locksmith scams in New Orleans?
New Orleans has documented locksmith scam operations that advertise $15–$35 online rates then charge 3–5x that amount on arrival. Protect yourself by: getting a total price estimate before they come, asking for their LA licence number, checking reviews on Google Maps, and avoiding cash-only companies with no local address.
Are locksmiths licensed in LA?
Check your state's licensing authority website to verify whether your locksmith is licensed. Some states require it; others don't. Always ask.
What should I do if I'm locked out in New Orleans?
First, check if any windows or other doors are unlocked. If you rent, call your landlord or property manager — they may have a spare key. If you own or your landlord isn't available, call a verified locksmith. Use this directory to find one in New Orleans and check the price range before calling to avoid being overcharged.
How much does an after-hours locksmith cost in New Orleans?
After-hours locksmith calls in New Orleans typically add $25–$75 on top of regular rates. A house lockout that costs $138 during the day may run $188–$213 at night or on weekends. Always ask for the total after-hours price before the locksmith comes out.
How long does a locksmith take to arrive in New Orleans?
Most New Orleans locksmiths quote a 15–30 minute arrival window for standard lockout calls. Response times vary by area and time of day — busier parts of New Orleans may take longer. If a locksmith quotes more than 45 minutes, it's worth calling another provider from this directory.
