Frequently asked questions about locksmiths
How much does an emergency locksmith cost?
Emergency locksmith call-outs typically cost R500 to R1,500 depending on the time of day, lock type, and your location. After-hours and weekend rates are usually higher.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me?
Most locksmiths in urban areas arrive within 30 to 60 minutes. Response time depends on your location and the locksmith's current workload — always call ahead to confirm.
Can a locksmith open my car if I have locked my keys inside?
Yes, auto locksmiths specialize in vehicle lockouts and can open most cars without damaging the door or lock. Ensure the locksmith confirms the car is yours before they proceed.
What should I do if I have lost my house keys?
Call a locksmith to rekey or replace your locks. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — it is cheaper than replacing the entire lock and is the right choice if the lock is still in good condition.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying adjusts the internal pins of an existing lock so it works with a new key. Replacing installs an entirely new lock. Rekeying is cheaper; replacing is better when the lock is old, damaged, or of poor quality.
Can a locksmith install a smart lock or digital access system?
Yes, many locksmiths install and configure smart locks, keypad entry systems, and access control panels. Ask when booking to confirm the locksmith has experience with your specific brand.
