The locksmith industry has a well-earned reputation for bait-and-switch: a $19 lockout ad online, then a $250+ bill once someone's standing at your door and you have no leverage to say no. We work the opposite way — the price for your specific job (lock type, entry method needed) is quoted over the phone or through your request, before anyone is dispatched.
Guelph's mix of century homes with older pin-tumbler deadbolts, newer subdivisions with smart-lock-ready hardware, and everything in between means the right approach varies — a locksmith who only knows one method for one lock era isn't who you want showing up. Every locksmith we dispatch is licensed and insured, and non-destructive entry (picking or bypassing, not drilling) is always the first approach on a lockout.
We serve: Guelph, Fergus, Elora, Rockwood, Cambridge, Puslinch, Guelph/Eramosa and surrounding Wellington County communities.
A standard home lockout typically runs $80–$150, car lockouts $90–$180 depending on vehicle and key type, and rekeying runs $25–$40 per cylinder plus a service call fee. Pricing is confirmed before dispatch — never negotiated after someone arrives.
Typically 20–30 minutes within Guelph for an emergency lockout, day or night. Surrounding communities (Fergus, Elora, Rockwood) usually add 10–20 minutes.
Rarely. Non-destructive entry — picking, bypassing, or manipulating the lock — is standard practice and works on the large majority of residential and automotive lockouts. Drilling is a last resort, disclosed and agreed to before it happens, not a surprise line on the invoice.
Yes, strongly recommended. You have no idea how many keys exist for the previous owner's locks — contractors, real estate agents, neighbours holding a spare. Rekeying is far cheaper than replacing hardware and gives you a clean slate.
Yes — see our smart lock installation page for options and pricing. Many popular smart locks retrofit onto your existing door prep, so it's often simpler than people expect.
