I am locked out of my house. What will a locksmith charge?
A standard business-hours lockout runs $120 to $300, and most metro locksmiths arrive within 30 to 60 minutes and open a residential door in under 15 minutes without damage. After hours the same job runs $200 to $500 with a call-out fee of $150 to $300. Tip: before calling, check every door and window and phone anyone else with a key; ten minutes of checking can save a few hundred dollars at 11pm.
