Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does a locksmith cost in Pretoria?
A: Locksmith services in Pretoria typically range from R500 to R3,500 depending on the complexity of the job. While simple lockouts might start around R500 to R800, more advanced tasks like transponder key programming or smart lock installations will be at the higher end of the range. We always provide a transparent, upfront quote before starting any work so you know exactly what to expect.
Q: What does it cost to call out a locksmith?
A: In the Pretoria region, professional call-out fees generally range between R400 and R750 during standard business hours. Please note that emergency, after-hours, or weekend services often carry a premium or an additional call-out surcharge to account for the immediate response time.
Q: How much is it to change a door lock?
A: Replacing a standard residential door lock typically ranges from R350 to R800, which generally includes both the new lock and the installation service. If you are looking to upgrade to high-security or electronic smart locks, costs can range from R1,200 to R3,500. Alternatively, rekeying your existing locks is a cost-effective security upgrade, usually costing between R250 and R500 per lock.
Q: What proof do I need for a locksmith?
A: To protect your property, we are required to verify that you are the authorized resident or owner before we provide entry. We typically ask for a government-issued ID that matches the property address. If you do not have your ID with you (for example, if you are locked out), we may accept alternative proof such as a utility bill, title deed, or confirmation from a landlord or neighbor.
Q: Do you work after hours?
A: Yes. We provide emergency locksmith services 24 hours a day throughout Pretoria and Centurion.
Q: Should I replace or rekey my locks?
A: If your locks are in good condition, rekeying is often a cost-effective option because it changes which keys operate the lock. If the lock is damaged or outdated, replacement may be the better choice.
