Hourly rates are $60 to $130 in the US, £40-95 in the UK, A$80-160 in Australia, R280-700 in South Africa, and C$60-130 in Canada. After-hours emergency call-outs run 1.5x to 2.5x standard rates.
Out-of-hours work pulls the locksmith from family time and disrupts their normal schedule. The 1.5x-2.5x multiplier reflects the actual cost of being available at 2am. Reputable locksmiths quote the multiplier before dispatching.
Phone three locksmiths if the job is non-urgent (e.g., locked out but you have an alternative entrance). For genuine emergencies, get the quote in writing over phone before they arrive; that is your protection.
Commercial locksmiths handle master-key systems, panic-bar compliance, time-locked safes, and access control wiring. They charge 30-50% more per hour and need different licences. A residential locksmith doing commercial work may be over-promising.
A key cut on a blank only available to licensed locksmiths and registered to a specific customer. You cannot copy it at any hardware store. Premium for security; the cost is $15-30 per copy. Best on doors where unauthorised copies are a serious risk.
