Car key programmer — Oakland, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
The final price for locksmith services depends on a few specific variables. First, the type of lock matters—high-security systems, electronic smart locks, or vintage hardware often require specialized tools and more time. The time of day also plays a role, as late-night, weekend, or holiday visits typically involve different rates than standard business hours. Additionally, your location and the complexity of the issue, such as a simple lockout versus a full ignition or deadbolt replacement, will influence the total.
