Locksmith quoting

Locksmith quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Locksmithing runs from a five-minute rekey to a full commercial master-key system, and the price rarely lands where the customer expects — lock grade, door material, access-point count and whether it's an after-hours call-out all swing the number. Tradewin prices every job against your real hardware and labour costs and sends a clean quote from the ute before you pack up. Save your regulars — rekeys, deadbolt fits, lock changes — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next one is priced in two taps.

What drives the price of locksmith work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Lock grade & door type

A deadbolt swap on a timber door and a high-security cylinder on an aluminium door are different jobs — grade and material change both the hardware cost and the fitting time.

After-hours call-outs

Emergency lockouts run 50–100% above standard rates. Quoting the after-hours premium up front keeps a 2am job from eating the night's margin.

Master-key complexity

System price scales with the number of locks and how deep the key hierarchy goes — a two-door setup and a whole-site chart are worlds apart.

Safes & access points

Safe type and whether the combination is known can move a job by hundreds; commercial fit-outs vary with how many doors get secured.

Common locksmith jobs and what moves the price

  • Commercial Locksmith

    Number of access points and lock grade drive significant variation.

  • Deadbolt Installation

    Deadbolt grade and door material affect installation complexity and cost.

  • Emergency Lockout — After Hours

    After-hours call-outs carry a significant premium — typically 50–100% above standard rates.

  • Lock Change / Replacement

    Lock grade and door type affect pricing. High-security locks cost more.

  • Master Key System

    Varies significantly with number of locks and complexity of key hierarchy.

  • Safe Opening / Repair

    Safe type and whether the combination is known dramatically affects price.
