Q6. How much does it cost to rekey my house?

This will depend on how many locks, what kind of locks, what condition they are in, and if you have keys for them. However, in general, a Service Call in the City of Edmonton is $102.00 and includes the first hours labour as well as rekeying of 2 standard (household) locks. Each lock after the first two is an additional $20, and the keys are typically $4.05 per key. We offer service outside of Edmonton as well, to Stony Plain, St Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, Nisku, and Fort Saskatchewan, as well as all other areas of Alberta as needed. Please call us for rates and pricing as needed.

Q7. How much do keys cost?

Key prices depend on the type of key. Typical house keys are $4.75 each, and can go up from there. Automotive keys (no transponder/computer chip) start at around $10 each, with chip (transponder) keys ranging from $95 to $160

Q8. I bought a key on Amazon – Can you cut and program it?

We can cut the key as long as it is not steel. We charge $3.00 per side (a standard car key is $6.00) and a sidewinder key (ie a Honda car key) would be $65.00 as a special machine is required. We are unable to program after market/offshore keys as they are not compatible with our key programming system. Please note that we do not offer any guarantees on these keys working as the quality of offshore/Amazon keys can be quite poor.

Q9. I don’t want to pay, can you bill it to my landlord? / Can you invoice me? / What payment do you accept?

We are able to invoice for products and services if you have an account in good standing. If you do not have an account, we are not able to provide a billing invoice. The locksmith can provide an itemized written invoice and payment will be required upon completion of the job. We accept Cash (Please note that the Locksmiths do not carry change), Debit, Visa, Master Card, and American Express (AMEX may be subject to a 4% surcharge)
