A locksmith is an invaluable person when you’ve lost your key or locked yourself out. But when should you hire them and how much should you pay in Atlanta, Georgia and other big cities?
In this article, we’ll discuss how much its costs to call a locksmith out to your home as well as other related questions about the occupation.
How Much Does A Locksmith Cost Near Me?
Here is how much it costs to call a locksmith in a city like Atlanta and even some rural areas:
A locksmith in the Atlanta area costs between $75 and $300 on average depending on the particular service you need performed.
But there’s more to it than that. A locksmith will typically charge for a number of services. Here is what we’ll cover in this article:
- What Does A Locksmith Typically Charge?
- How Much Does A Locksmith Charge To Replace Keys?
- How Much Does A Locksmith Charge To Program A Key Fob?
- How Much Does A Locksmith Charge To Unlock A Car Door?
- Best Locksmiths In Atlanta
- How To Save Money On Locksmith Prices
What Does A Locksmith Typically Charge?
A locksmith will usually run you between $85 and $175, according to HomeGuide.com.
The site says that most people spend about $129 on a locksmith. Of course, that all depends on your exact circumstances.
The prices for individual things will vary depending on what you need.
How Much Does A Locksmith Charge To Replace Keys?
If all you need is your key replaced, the locksmith will have to use your lock impressions to make a set that works.
The average cost it will take to rekey your lock will be between $40 to $75 one for door. He may charge you an extra $25 to do additional doors.
I recently called a locksmith out to my Atlanta home to get a key made for a screen and metal door. The price was $75 and it was done in about an hour.
If you have a deadbolt or electronic security system tied into it, you cost may increase.
How Much Does A Locksmith Charge To Program A Key Fob?
If your vehicle uses a key fob, and you need a new one, going to the dealership may run you more than $200.
In this case, it may be cheaper to call out the locksmith. He is going to have to program a new key fob, which could cost from between $40 to $250.
A lot of it will depend on the model of your car, with the expensive ones costing the most.
How Much Does A Locksmtih Charge To Unlock A Car Door?
To unlock your car door, a locksmith could charge anywhere from $75 to $300 depending on the work involved.
If you have part of a key broken off into the lock, it may require more time and effort to remove the lock.
How To Save Money On Locksmith Prices
Here is how to save money on locksmith prices:
Compare Prices
Call at least three locksmiths in your area and compare prices. One locksmith may charge you more based on how far they need to travel.
Don’t Call At Night
If you can help it, don’t call a locksmith after sundown. You’ll pay substantially more for what they may deem “emergency” or “on-call” prices.
If at all possible, wait until the morning or regular business hours to schedule a visit from the locksmith.
Negotiate Your Price
Ask the locksmith if he is open to negotiating the price, especially if it’s a simple job. They may be able to take into consideration some price relief if you’re polite and respectful.

Days after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared in Atlanta at the Georgia State University Convocation Center, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance held a rally at the same venue.
Trump, speaking to the crowd, said that he would “overfund the police, if we have to,” in a bid to underscore the contrast between himself and Harris.
He also vowed that under his second administration, police would get “federal immunity.”
He also made sure a few Atlanta-based Georgia officials felt his wrath. He singled out Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger for thwarting his efforts to “find” more than 11,000 votes to overturn the 2020 election.
On Gov. Brian Kemp, Trump credited himself with getting him elected.
“He’s a disloyal guy, and he’s a very average governor. Little Brian. Little Brian Kemp. Bad guy,” Trump said.
Kemp also responded to a comment made by Kemp’s wife, who said that Trump had not “earned” her vote.
On social media, Kemp responded to Trump, saying: “My focus is on winning this November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats – not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past. You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it.“
You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it.
He also went in on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and former boyfriend Nathan “Loverboy Wade,” as Trump called him.
Saturday’s rally follows Trump’s disastrous performance at a National Association of Black Journalists event earlier in the week in Chicago.
Seconds after being introduced, he said, “You don’t even say hello, how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network. … I love the black population of this country. I’ve done so much for the black population.”
On Saturday, commentators speculated before the event that Trump would use the opportunity to mend his words — and fences with African-American voters still on the fence.
Supporters posted on social media to show crowds of people in the 19,000-seat arena. From videos posted on social media, the venue did not appear packed.
One of the more surreal moments came when Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said Harris’ pantomime as a black person was akin to Milli Vanilli.
From the looks of the crowd behind him, not everyone was impressed.
Before Trump spoke, supporters, including local Blexit Director Michaela Montgomery, railed against Harris’ appeal to black Americans.
”They don’t want to talk policy, they just want to talk propaganda to steal your vote,” she said.
Just last week, Harris made her sixth visit to Georgia this year, including four weeks ago when she met with former Migos rapper Quavo to talk about how to quell gun violence.
Now she’s coming again, this time with her pick for vice president.
