Locksmith Near You in Hamilton, ON

Published pricing guides suggest a home lockout in Ontario commonly costs around $70–$150 during business hours, and often $100–$250 after hours. Rekeying is often around $80–$150 per lock, and many locksmiths also charge a call-out fee of about $50–$100. These are planning ranges only — ask for a written quote, and check whether HST is included.

Locksmith is a non-compulsory trade in Ontario, so there is no certificate to look up on the Skilled Trades Ontario Public Register. Check the business instead: a company name and address you can verify, recent reviews, identification or a marked vehicle when they arrive, and an invoice with the company's details. A locksmith may ask you to show that you live at the address before opening a door.

Be cautious of a very low phone quote that rises once the locksmith arrives. Before work starts, ask for the total price — including any call-out fee, after-hours charge and parts — and whether the lock can be opened without drilling. If the price changes on arrival, you can decline before any work begins.
