What moves the price
Lock or key type
A basic deadbolt or metal key sits at the low end; high-security cylinders, smart locks, and transponder or smart fobs cost more.
Complexity of the job
A simple rekey is quick; a jammed high-security lock, an all-keys-lost car key, or a multi-door install takes more time and skill.
Urgency
Scheduled daytime visits cost less than urgent same-day dispatch, which prioritizes your job.
Location
Distance within the Greater Orlando area affects the trip charge — Orange County is closest, outer counties like Lake or Osceola add drive time.
Beware the "$15 locksmith" pattern
The most common locksmith scam in Florida — and nationally — starts with a too-good-to-be-true phone quote like "$15 service call" or "$19 lockout". Once on site, the "technician" quotes hundreds of dollars, demands cash, and often drills a lock that any professional could have picked, then sells you an overpriced replacement.
Protect yourself with four habits:
- Get the total price range on the phone — labor plus parts — not just a "callout fee".
- Confirm the final price on site before work starts, and pay after the job.
- Ask for ID and an itemized receipt; be suspicious of unmarked vehicles and drilling-first answers.
- Verify ownership is checked — a locksmith who opens doors without any verification is a red flag for you too.
