06 Questions
Straight answers
Who actually does the work when I call?
An independent locksmith contractor. This phone line takes the details and refers the job; the contractor who accepts it quotes the final price, does the work and takes payment. The terms spell that out.
How much will it cost?
The price list shows starting prices, such as lockouts and rekeys from $19.00. The final figure depends on the lock, the labor and, for cars, the key and any programming. Ask for the total before work begins.
Can someone come out right now?
Call and ask. Availability changes through the day and depends on where the contractors are, so nobody should promise you an arrival time before checking.
Do the coupons really apply?
Yes, mention the coupon when you call and show it to the locksmith. The six offers are listed on this page and on the coupons page.
