Frequently asked

How much does a locksmith cost in Milwaukee?

In Milwaukee, a home lockout usually costs $65 to $200 in business hours and $150 to $300 after hours or on weekends. Expect about $150 to $300 to rekey a whole home. A car lockout usually costs $75 to $200. We post real ranges up front.

Which areas do you cover?

We cover Milwaukee and the nearby suburbs listed on our service areas page, and we take after-hours and weekend calls.

Wisconsin has no locksmith license. How do I check who I am hiring?

Since there is no state license to look up, check insurance before you hire anyone. We are insured and bonded, and we can send a Certificate of Insurance on request.

Can you rekey my home so my old keys do not work anymore?

Yes. Rekeying replaces the pins inside your existing lock cylinders so the old keys no longer turn - usually faster and cheaper than swapping every lock. Rekeying a house with 4 to 6 cylinders usually comes to $150 to $300.

Do you install smart locks?

Yes. Installed price usually runs $150 to $400, hardware extra if not supplied. We can also do door prep if the new lock needs it.

What about my safe - can you open it without destroying it?

Often, yes. Ask for non-destructive opening first. Drilling is a last resort, and a drilled safe needs a repair afterward. Service usually runs $200 to $500.
