Eastvale, Corona, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills, and Norco.

No “$19 service call” scam. No bait-and-switch. Just straight, local pricing from an actual locksmith with 18 years of experience.

Car Lockout Cost (Auto Locksmith)

If your keys are locked inside or lost, the cost depends on the vehicle type and lock complexity:

Regular cars: $90–$120
SUVs & trucks: $90–$140
Luxury & high-security vehicles: $120+

We use non-damaging entry tools, which means no scratches or window damage.

House Lockout Cost (Residential Locksmith)

Locked out of your home?

Standard residential locks: $90–$130
High-security or smart locks: $130–$180

We always try the non-destructive entry method first, meaning we pick the lock instead of drilling it whenever possible.

Rekeying a Home or Business

Rekeying is when we change the pins inside the lock so old keys stop working.

$35–$55 per lock cylinder.
A service call fee may apply depending on your city.

Rekeying is cheaper than replacing the whole lock and is especially useful if:

You moved into a new home.
You lost a key.
A tenant or ex had access.

Lock Installation / Replacement

Need to upgrade security, replace old locks, or match keys?

Basic lock hardware installs: $75–$120
Smart locks / keypad locks: $120–$200
Commercial-grade locks vary....call for exact pricing.

Car Key Replacement.

When it comes to Car key replacement in Eastvale CA, its a little tricky to give an exact price because there are so many different makes and models. You can always call us with information about your car and we can try to give you a more accurate price regarding the procedure.

Why Prices May Vary by City

Fuel, travel time, and traffic between cities can slightly change service call pricing.

But the labor rates stay the same.

We keep pricing consistent and transparent no matter the neighborhood.

Avoid Locksmith Scams (Important)

There are locksmith ads that say:

Locksmith $19”

This is a known bait scam. They show up and tell you:

“Your lock is special. $280+ to open.”

Always: Ask for the total price before they come.

Check they are a local (not a call center) .

Never sign paperwork with blank pricing.

If you're in our service area, you're always safe from that.
