There are three factors that can influence a locksmith cost in South Africa.
Location – How far away your home, office or car is from the local locksmith you have called. The distance the locksmith has to travel may also impact the locksmith prices. They will have to factor in the amount of time travelled, as well as traveling costs into their fee.
Special equipment – If the job you need to hire a locksmith for is a more complex one that requires specialised equipment then you will more than likely be charged more for the job. The majority of qualified locksmiths will be able to unlock any door without having to replace the locks. If you get a locksmith quote saying you need to replace the locking mechanism, consider getting a second opinion. Replacing locks and strike plates will add to the project cost. Some locksmiths may charge an additional fee for the middle of the night or emergency service. If you’re out on the road and have locked yourself out of your car, you may have to pay an additional mileage fee. Some insurance companies and roadside assistance plans offer free or low-cost locksmith services if you choose from a list of participating providers. Before hiring a locksmith on your own, you might first make a call to your insurer to check on your benefits. Kandua has a list of vetted, background checked locksmiths that are perfect for the job.

ProTip: When you move into a new home, we recommend changing all of your locks. This may include your security locks, front door, back door, windows, garage, and gate locks if you have them. Quotes will vary based on the type of locks, as well as the number of locks to replace. If this task takes more than an hour then you will likely have to pay for additional labour hours not covered in the initial call out fee.
