Mention the offer when you book. One offer per household per visit; offers can’t be combined with each other and don’t apply to work already quoted or completed. Local pricing and availability vary by location - your local Preston Locksmith & Security team confirms the final price in writing before any work begins.
Every job is priced the same way: a free written estimate
We price the job, not the hour. Before anyone touches anything, you get the full price for the specific work in writing - no hourly meter, no membership to join, no financing to sign, and no line items added afterwards. If the number isn’t right for you, the estimate is still free and you owe us nothing.
How We Price Locksmith Work
Every job at Preston Locksmith & Security is priced on its own, off a free written estimate. There’s no hourly rate ticking in the background, no plan to join, no subscription to cancel later. You see the full number for your specific job, in writing, before anyone touches a single lock or tumbler.
That matters because this trade has a well-known problem with prices that look one way on the phone and another way on the invoice. We think the fix is simple: put it in writing first, every time, no exceptions. If the number doesn’t work for you, you say so and that’s the end of it. The estimate is free. The decision is yours.
What a Visit Actually Costs You to Find Out
Nothing. The estimate visit costs you zero. Our technician shows up, looks at what you actually have – door hardware, cylinder type, the specific situation – and puts a price in writing for that specific job. The whole thing takes a few minutes. At the end of it, you have a written number and a choice: approve it and we start, or don’t and you owe us nothing.
There’s no pressure and no fee for finding out. That’s deliberate. We’d rather earn your business with a number you agreed to than chase you for one you didn’t.
When People Usually Call Us
Lockouts don’t follow a schedule. They happen at midnight in January, at 6 a.m. before a flight, during the first cold snap of fall when nobody’s thinking straight. We take those calls year-round because that’s the job.
Rekeying tends to cluster around specific moments: move-in day, the week after a tenant leaves, the day someone realizes a key is missing and can’t account for where it went. Sometimes it’s the week after something happens on the block and a neighbor texts asking what lock they should get. We understand that context. When you call, you don’t have to explain why it matters – we already know.
Door lock repairs tend to come up when a lock has been stiff for a while and finally stops working, or right after a forced entry. Both are reasonable times to call. Neither one requires an emergency to justify the visit.
Whatever the situation, a live person answers the phone. You’ll get a real arrival time you can track, not a four-hour window to guess inside of.
What You Can Expect From Us Either Way
Whether you’re using an offer or not, the standards don’t change. Every job comes with a written price before any work starts – that’s not a feature of a specific offer, it’s how we work. Every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, and that commitment is stamped on the written guarantee you get with every completed job.
If a repair fails, the follow-up visit is free. No charge, no argument, no having to explain yourself. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who is coming before they knock. Before-and-after photos go with every job. The digital invoice comes by text, and you pay from the link.
We’re trained and equipped to service Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy hardware – residential deadbolts through high-security commercial cylinders. Whatever you have on your door, we know it.
Common Questions
Is the estimate really free?
Yes, completely. Our technician assesses your specific job, puts the full price in writing, and you decide whether to proceed. If you say no, you don’t owe anything. There’s no call-out fee added afterward and no minimum charge for the visit. Call (409) 405-4485 to schedule yours.
Do you offer financing or a monthly plan?
We don’t, and that’s a deliberate choice. Every job is priced job-by-job off a free written estimate – no hourly rates, no memberships, nothing to sign up for. The price you see in writing before work starts is the price on the invoice. That’s the whole model, and we think it’s cleaner than anything involving a plan.
Can I combine two offers?
One offer per household per visit. If you’re not sure which one applies to your situation, the easiest thing is to call us – a live person picks up, we’ll figure it out in about two minutes, and you’ll have a written estimate before anything else happens.
Does the price change once you’re on-site?
No. The written estimate is the price on the invoice – full stop. If our technician gets into the job and finds something genuinely different from what was scoped, we stop, explain what we found, and give you a new written number before doing anything additional. You approve it or you don’t. Nothing moves without your sign-off.
