Quoting locksmith work at a fixed price
A locksmith quote, often given by phone, should state the service-call fee, the price per task or per cylinder, the after-hours surcharge and the grade of any hardware priced.
The biggest single commitment is "Rekey exterior cylinders to one key" at $100.00 (21% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.

The acceptance block

Locksmith pricing tips
- Write how you verified the customer's right to enter, such as photo ID matching the address or a lease, on the lockout invoice; it protects you if a landlord or former partner later says the entry was not authorized.
- Price rekeying per cylinder and list each door, because a customer who asked for 'the house rekeyed' rarely counts the garage entry, side gate or mailbox until the bill arrives.
- Show the arrival time on after-hours and emergency calls so the night surcharge is tied to a clock time instead of looking like an inflated base price.
- Record the keyway or key code and how many keys you cut, which lets you cut matching keys later and settles any claim that fewer keys were handed over.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a locksmith quote?
List exactly what is included (7 lines for after-hours house lockout, then rekeying four exterior locks to one key and installing a new deadbolt in the sample), give one fixed price ($476.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a locksmith quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a locksmith quote ask for a deposit?
It depends on the job size; for locksmith work the usual terms are due on completion, and a deposit is optional.
