What a locksmith price list is for
Locksmith scams thrive on vague phone prices. A clear price list with the service call, after-hours rate and common jobs shows customers you charge what you say. It is the single best trust signal a locksmith can post. Post it on your website and your Google listing.
What to put on a locksmith price list
- Service call and after-hours rates.
- Lockouts: house and car.
- Rekey per cylinder and keys.
- Deadbolts and smart locks installed.
- Car key programming.
