What drives the price
The type of job first: opening a door is mostly time and skill, while a smart key requires a new key and costly programming equipment. Then come the time of the call, the distance and the lock's security level.
For a home, rekeying usually costs less than full replacement, and a high-security cylinder like CX5 or Mul-T-Lock costs more than a standard one, but protects far better.
Travel fees
A mobile locksmith travels with an equipped van. Depending on the company, travel is included or billed separately: always ask for the total amount, travel included.
At Serrurier Momo, the price we give by phone is the amount for the situation described. If things are different on site, we discuss it before starting.
Beware of prices that are too low
Some ads show a very low teaser price, then add fees once the door is open. A real professional gives you a realistic range by phone and explains what could change it.
Also check that the company holds a Bureau de la sécurité privée permit: in Quebec, it's mandatory to work as a locksmith.
How to get a firm price
Give as many details as possible: make, model and year, key type, or for a home, the type of door and lock. A photo of the lock sent by text often helps.
With that information, we confirm the price before leaving. Call 514 999-4341, 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
