Most locksmiths charge between $10-$20 to re-key a lock (depending on where you are located) if you bring the lock into them. If a locksmith comes out to you, then you may be charged a service call and the re-key charge may be a little higher. (Some locksmith also charge labor on top of that. We don’t.) Note: When calling any locksmith, ask if they charge a flat rate or if there is going to be labor rate as well. Find out what the service call is and the re-key charge per cylinder. Some locks have two cylinders [such as double sided deadbolts] and you will be charged you accordingly.)
