Locksmith questions? Real answers.

Locksmith prices vary by job. A standard car lockout in DFW typically runs $75–$150, car key replacement and programming ranges from $150–$450 depending on the vehicle, and rekeying a home starts around $19–$30 per lock plus a service call. We give upfront quotes before any work begins.

Car key programming in the DFW area typically ranges from $100–$300 depending on the vehicle year, make, and key type. Basic transponder keys are on the lower end; smart keys and push-to-start fobs are on the higher end.
