Pricing
Locksmith pricing for Moose Jaw
Excluding basic key cutting services, most locksmith visits in Moose Jaw fall between $125 and $260, depending on the service and time of day. Use the table below as a guide — we confirm your price by phone before dispatch.
| Service | Description | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Key Duplication | Basic house and padlock keys cut at our shop — standard residential blanks. High-security or restricted profiles are quoted separately. | $5 - $8 |
| Automotive Key Duplication | Duplicate vehicle keys when we have the correct blank or fob in stock — bare metal, remote fob, and transponder keys. Call with your year, make, and model so we can confirm availability before you visit. | $80 - $220 |
| Automotive Lockout | Mobile unlock for most domestic and import vehicles — keys locked inside, no tow required. | $100 - $200 |
| Residential Lockout | Non-destructive entry for homes and apartments — standard deadbolts and knob locks. After-hours and weekend calls usually land toward the top of the range. | $100 - $200 |
| Commercial Lockout | Storefront, office, and light commercial doors during business hours. We work to restore access without damaging the door or frame. | $95 - $220 |
| Lock Rekey (per cylinder) | New keys for existing hardware — ideal after a move or when spare keys are unaccounted for. Multi-lock visits (3+ cylinders) qualify for a per-cylinder discount. | $35 - $65 |
| Lock Repair | Diagnose and repair sticking, misaligned, or worn lock hardware when the lock body can be saved — adjustment, parts, or cylinder work without a full replacement. | $40 - $80 |
| Deadbolt or Knob Replacement | Remove and replace worn or damaged hardware. We walk you through options on the call and quote each choice before we book the visit. | $100 - $400 |
| Safe Transportation & Installation | We move and install safes — we do not repair residential safe mechanisms. Price depends on travel distance and how many people are needed to handle the unit safely. | $50 - $250 |
| Lock Installation | Install and set up deadbolts, knobs, Wi‑Fi locks, and keypad entry hardware. Hardware cost varies by model; we quote parts and labour before booking. | $150 - $375 |
| High-Security Lock Install | Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, and similar restricted-key systems for homes and businesses that need stronger key control. | $200 - $440 |
| Master Key System | Pinning and keying multiple locks to work on one master key plus individual change keys. Final price depends on how many locks are included in the system. | $75 - $250 |
| Safe Access & Repair | Commercial, banking, and government safe openings and repairs — dial combinations, mechanical issues, and access problems on rated institutional units. | $150 - $250 |
| Broken Key Extraction | Safe removal of a snapped key from a door cylinder or vehicle ignition, then verification that the lock still operates. | $85 - $165 |
| Ignition Extraction | Remove the vehicle ignition cylinder so it can be re-keyed to a new key type. Most jobs land near $250; full extraction and re-key work typically runs $400 to $500. Call before booking — some European and Asian makes are vendor-locked or high-risk and may be out of scope. | $250 - $500 |

A lockout is priced differently than a rekey or a full hardware install. Complexity and parts drive the final quote.

Hardware
We recommend hardware that fits your door and budget, explain your options on the phone, and quote each choice before we book the visit.
Travel
Moose Jaw city and the surrounding region are included in your phone quote — no surprise trip fees at the door.

Common questions
Quick answers about pricing, payment, and when to call.
Call us if you are locked out, a key broke in the cylinder, you just moved in, or you want to upgrade to smart or high-security hardware. Reach us during business hours or our weekend emergency window (7 AM – 11 PM). We restore access without unnecessary damage.
Rekeying ($35 - $65 per cylinder in the table above) changes the pins so old keys no longer work — the best value when the lock body is still in good shape. Full replacement makes sense when hardware is worn, damaged, or you want a security upgrade.
Pin kits and lock picks look easy online, but one wrong move can ruin a cylinder or door. Our journeyman locksmiths bring the right tools, finish in one visit, and stand behind the work.
We accept debit, Visa, Mastercard, e-Transfer, and cash. Payment is collected on site after the job is complete. We do not accept American Express (AMEX).
No. Some European and certain Japanese or Korean vehicles use vendor-locked immobilizer and ignition systems that are high-risk for independent locksmiths. Call with your year, make, and model — we will tell you upfront if we can help or if a dealer is the better path.
