One of the first questions people ask when they need a locksmith is: how much is this going to cost? Prices vary by job type, time of day, and lock complexity. Here is an honest 2026 breakdown for locksmith services in Prosper TX and Collin County.
Service Call / Trip Fee
Most locksmiths in the Prosper area charge a service call fee of $35 to $75 just to dispatch a technician to your location. This fee covers travel and is separate from the labor and parts cost. At 1st Class Locksmith, our service call fee is quoted upfront when you call — no surprise additions on arrival.
Residential Lockout Cost in Prosper TX
A standard house lockout with a common deadbolt or knob lock typically runs $75 to $150 all-in, including the service call. High-security locks (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) may cost more due to the additional skill required. See our house lockout service page for full details.
Car Lockout Cost
Auto lockout service in Prosper TX ranges from $65 to $120. Newer vehicles with advanced anti-theft door systems or exotic vehicles may be at the higher end. The cost is almost always less than a towing fee plus dealer lockout charge. See our car lockout page.
Commercial Lockout Cost
Commercial lockouts depend heavily on the lock type. A standard office knob or lever set runs $85 to $175. Heavy-duty panic bar or electric strike bypass may run $150 to $300+. See our commercial lockout page.
Lock Rekey Cost
Rekeying is one of the most affordable locksmith services:
- $20 to $50 per lock (labor only — pins supplied)
- Service call fee applies separately
- Most 3-lock homes: $100–$175 total
This is far cheaper than replacing locks when the hardware is in good condition. See our lock rekeying page.
Lock Change / Replacement Cost
Lock replacement pricing includes both labor and the new hardware:
- Basic Kwikset or Defiant deadbolt: $110 to $175 installed
- Schlage B-series (higher security): $150 to $225 installed
- Smart lock installation (August, Yale, Schlage Encode): $175 to $300 installed
See our lock change page for more.
Car Key Made / Duplicated Cost
Car key pricing depends heavily on key type:
- Standard metal key (no chip): $20 to $50
- Transponder chip key (cut + program): $80 to $175
- Push-to-start / smart key fob: $150 to $300
Compare this to dealership rates of $200–$500+ for the same key. Our mobile service comes to you — no tow required. See our car key duplication page.
Key Fob / Transponder Programming Cost
Programming-only service (when you supply the key) runs $60 to $125. Full service including key cutting and programming is priced above. See our car key programming page.
Safe Opening Cost
Safe lockout service is more specialized and typically costs $150 to $400. Simple digital safes with override codes are at the lower end; fire-rated gun safes or commercial vaults are at the higher end. Destructive entry (drilling) adds cost but is rarely needed for residential safes. See our safe lockout page.

Avoid Locksmith Scams
Unfortunately, “bait and switch” locksmith scams are common. A company advertises a $15 lockout fee online, sends a technician who claims the job requires “special drilling,” and then bills $400. Warning signs:
- Prices drastically lower than competitors online
- No physical address or license number on the website
- Technician shows up without a marked van or proper ID
- Demands cash only before starting
