How is each service priced?
Each service has its own standard price, confirmed before work begins. Car lockouts start at $55, house lockouts at $80 and rekeying at $55 per cylinder; other services are quoted before dispatch (see our pricing page). If the job turns out different from what was described, such as a different lock or extra parts, we explain the change and you approve it first. Every order pays the $15–$25 service call up front as the deposit: $15 inside city limits, $25 outside. It is a flat fee added to the service price, and the time-of-day multipliers never apply to it or to mileage. The time the order is placed sets the multiplier:
- Ordered 7 AM–8 PM: standard
- Ordered 8 PM–7 AM: 1.5×
- Federal holidays: 2×
- Federal holiday, ordered 8 PM–7 AM: 3×
Multipliers apply to the job (service, labor and parts); the $15 (inside city limits) or $25 (outside city limits) service call and the $1.25/mile mileage fee (beyond 5 miles from the nearest served city's center) stay flat. No weekend surcharge. Holidays are U.S. federal holidays, on both the calendar date and the observed weekday.
Choosing a service: common questions
Which locksmith services can you do at my location?
Nearly all of them. Instant Locksmith TN is a mobile service, so lockouts, rekeys, lock installs, key cutting and most vehicle key programming happen at your car, home or business. Some vehicle, safe and high-security jobs depend on the exact hardware, so we confirm before dispatch.
I'm not sure which service fits my problem. What should I pick?
Pick the closest match or choose "Something else" on the order form and describe what's happening. We review the details and confirm the right service and price before anyone is sent.
Do you work on every make and model of car?
We handle most makes and models. Key programming, smart keys and some ignition work depend on the vehicle, so tell us the year, make and model when ordering and we'll confirm before dispatch. See automotive services.
Can one visit cover more than one job?
Yes. A lockout followed by a rekey, or several doors rekeyed and a deadbolt added, can be handled on one trip. List everything on the order so the price covers the whole visit.
Is rekeying a service or do I need new locks?
Rekeying is its own service and is usually the less expensive route when your locks work fine. Replacement makes sense for damaged or weak hardware. Our rekey vs. replace guide walks through the choice.
Do you do free emergency entry?
Only through ILT Lifesaver, which covers a child, pet or at-risk adult trapped in a vehicle or residence when the technician confirms their life is in immediate danger. Call 911 first in that situation. Ordinary lockouts are billed at our published rates.
Know what you need?
Order online in a few minutes and see the price and deposit before you pay, or call and we'll walk you through it.
