Locksmith services cost about $160 per incident or $50 to $100 per hour but can vary based on factors like the item to be unlocked and the distance the locksmith needs to travel to your location.

If your “safe” is really just a lockbox, a regular key locksmith can likely open it for you. However, if you have a traditional safe, it is best to call a safe and vault specialist. Another deciding factor in whether to hire a safes and vaults technician over a traditional key locksmith is the type of lock.

Locksmiths use techniques such as deciphering passcodes, exploiting vulnerabilities in software or hardware, non-destructive lock picking, and signal analysis to open digital keypad locks.

Yes, a smart lock can be opened by a locksmith but the process is different from opening a traditional locks. Locksmiths may use digital methods for bypassing the lock security features or directly interact with the lock mechanism.
