A professional services and pricing sheet is a clear, organized blueprint that outlines your rates for emergency lockouts, key cutting, rekeying, and high-security lock installations. As a locksmith, you need this essential tool when you find yourself quoting random numbers under pressure over the phone, losing track of your trip charges, or trying to land lucrative commercial contracts that require structured bids. A great pricing sheet does more than list services; it acts as a transparent trust-building tool for anxious customers who might worry about scam rates during a stressful lockout. To make it highly effective, it must clearly differentiate between standard business hours and emergency after-hours dispatches, while also accounting for hardware costs and mileage. Having this structured guide in hand ensures you protect your profit margins against rising fuel costs, handle price objections with absolute confidence, and present a polished, reputable face to your community.
Calculate your trip fee by combining your average vehicle fuel cost per mile with your hourly labor rate divided by travel time. A standard profitable starting point is a flat dispatch fee that covers up to a 15-mile radius, with a set per-mile charge added for any distance beyond that boundary.
Flat-rate pricing is highly recommended for standard residential lock installations because customers prefer predictable costs. Set a flat fee per lock cylinder or deadbolt that assumes a standard door preparation, then list a supplementary hourly rate only for custom drilling or heavily modified doors.
Standard industry practice is to apply a 1.5x multiplier to your base labor and lockout rates for late-night calls, and a 2x multiplier for major holidays. Always clearly state these premium hours on your pricing sheet so customers are fully aware of the emergency premium before you dispatch a technician.
Charge a single flat trip fee to get to the location, combined with a fixed per-cylinder rekeying fee. This ensures that customers with multiple locks receive a fair volume discount, while you remain fully compensated for the exact amount of labor and pins used.
