How We Price Locksmith Work

Every job at Dunmore Locksmith is priced job-by-job, off a free written estimate. No hourly rate ticking in the background, no plan to join, nothing to sign up for. You see the full number for your specific job, in writing, before anyone picks up a tool.

Call (910) 714-4287

That matters because locksmith pricing has a reputation problem. People call, someone shows up, and the number on the invoice is nothing like what they expected. We built our pricing model to make that impossible. The written estimate is the price. It doesn’t move. If something unexpected turns up once we’re inside the job, we stop, tell you, and write a new number before we continue. You stay in control of this from the first phone call to the last click of the deadbolt.

What a Visit Actually Costs You to Find Out

Nothing. The estimate visit costs you nothing. Perry Osgood or one of our background-checked technicians looks at the door, the hardware, or the lock in question, and gives you a written price for the specific work you’re asking about. The whole thing usually takes a few minutes on-site. At the end of it, you have a number on paper and a clear explanation of what the job involves.

You are free to say no. No pressure, no fee for coming out, no awkward conversation at the door. A lot of people call us just to know what something costs, and that’s a perfectly good reason to call. We’d rather give you a real number than have you guess.

When People Usually Call Us

The calls tend to cluster around a handful of situations, and after serving customers since 2007, the patterns are pretty familiar to us.

Move-in day is one of the busiest. A new house means you don’t know who has a copy of the old key – the previous owner, a contractor, a neighbor they trusted. Rekeying the locks before the boxes are unpacked is the right move, and most people know it by the time they’re calling us.

A lost set of keys brings the same logic. Once a key is unaccounted for, the lock might as well be open. Rekeying costs less than most people expect and closes that gap the same day.

Tenant turnover – whether you’re a landlord or a property manager – works the same way. Changing over a property between occupants is the kind of job we do on a schedule, not in a panic.

And then there are the late-night calls. Lockouts happen in bad weather, after long days, and right before holidays when the hardware store is closed. Those calls are exactly what we’re set up for. Live-person phone coverage means someone picks up every time, any hour, any day of the year.

Whatever the situation, the job starts with the same free written estimate before any work begins.

What You Can Expect From Us Either Way

A few things don’t change based on which offer applies to your visit or what day you call.

The price goes in writing before any work starts – every single time, no exceptions. That’s not a policy we revisit on busy days or late-night calls. It’s the only way we do it.

Every repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee stamped on the job, not a vague pledge. If the repair fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.

Before your technician arrives, you receive their name and photo. They show up in a clean, marked uniform and present a photo ID badge at the door. If anyone shows up who you weren’t told to expect, that visit is on us. This is the Threshold Standard, the set of commitments every Dunmore technician is held to as part of the Threshold Verified family. It exists because opening the door to someone you don’t know is a real concern, and you deserve better than hoping for the best.

We’re qualified to work on the hardware most homeowners and businesses rely on: Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy, from a basic door-lock repair to a high-security commercial cylinder.

Common Questions

Is the estimate really free?

Yes, completely. There’s no call-out fee and no charge for coming to look at the job. You get a written price for the specific work, and you decide whether to move forward. If you say no, you owe us nothing. Call (910) 714-4287 and we’ll set it up.

Do you offer financing or a monthly plan?

No, and that’s deliberate. Every job is priced off a free written estimate – one number, one job, nothing ongoing. We don’t do hourly billing, subscriptions, or payment plans. The written estimate is the only pricing mechanism we use, and it’s simpler for everyone.

Can I combine two offers?

One offer per household per visit. If you have a question about which one applies to your job, ask when you call – we’ll sort it out before anyone is dispatched, so there are no surprises on either side.

Does the price change once you’re here?

No. The written estimate is the price on the invoice. If the technician finds something additional once the job is open – a stripped bolt, a damaged frame, anything that wasn’t visible upfront – we stop, explain what we found, and write a new number before doing anything else. You approve it or you don’t. Nothing moves without your sign-off.
