The national ranges below are the honest baseline for Adelaide: no published Adelaide-specific figures met our sourcing bar, so local quotes land inside these bands, with SA labour rates and disposal fees the main local variables. This edition therefore points at the national Locksmith Prices report as the canonical version until a sourced Adelaide figure lands.

Common questions#
Rekey or replace: which do I need after moving in?
Rekeying changes the pins so old keys stop working and costs a fraction of replacement. Replace only if the hardware is worn, damaged or you want an upgrade.
How fast can a locksmith get me back inside?
Metro locksmiths typically arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, and most residential lockouts are opened in under 15 minutes without damage.
