Residential Locksmith San Luis Obispo: Home Situations We Handle
You’re locked out of your home
A lost key, a key left inside, or a lock that will not turn can keep you outside. We provide house lockout service at your address; the price starts at $55.
A key is missing or may be in the wrong hands
When you cannot account for a house key, rekeying can make the old key stop working while allowing a new key to operate the lock. We charge from $55 per lock for rekeying.
Your lock is damaged or difficult to use
A key that sticks, a lock that will not latch, or a lock that no longer turns reliably may need repair or replacement. We inspect the lock and door before identifying which residential service fits the problem.
You have moved into a home or apartment
You may not know how many copies of the old keys are still out there. Rekeying can update the working keys without replacing the existing lock hardware.
You want to replace a lock
A lock change may make sense when you want different hardware or the existing lock needs replacement. Lock changes start at $85 plus hardware.

What Happens During a Residential Locksmith Visit
- Call with the issue and address — Tell us whether you are locked out, need a rekey, or have a lock or key problem, and give us the service address. For an apartment, include the unit number so we can locate the right door.
- Identify the lock or key service — We check the lock and door condition and confirm what needs attention. If you have a working key, keep it available; for a lockout, describe what is preventing entry.
- Complete the residential work on site — We come to you and perform the agreed locksmith service at the home. The work may involve a lockout, rekey, repair, lock change, deadbolt installation, or key service.
- Check the lock and keys — After the work, we check that the serviced lock operates with the intended key. Parts and labor include at least a 6-month warranty.
Residential Locksmith Pricing for Lockouts, Rekeying and Lock Changes
The service needed determines the starting price: house lockouts start at $55, lock rekeying starts at $55 per lock, and lock changes start at $85 plus hardware. A lock change total includes the hardware cost, while rekeying is priced per lock, so the number of locks matters.
The lock’s condition and the work required also affect which service applies. Call with the address and a brief description of the problem for a quote before the work begins. For related help, visit our locksmith in San Luis Obispo page or contact us for a quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a locksmith for a house?
The price depends on the service. A house lockout starts at $55, rekeying starts at $55 per lock, and a lock change starts at $85 plus hardware. Tell us what is happening with the lock so we can quote the relevant work.
Can a locksmith rekey my home instead of changing the locks?
Rekeying changes which key operates a compatible lock, so the previous key no longer works. A lock change replaces the lock hardware; we check the existing lock and your request to determine which service applies.
