A lockout is the call where honest pricing matters most, because you have the least room to shop around. An emergency locksmith should mean a real technician with published totals, not a call center: we dispatch Mon–Sat, 7:30AM–11PM, at the same prices as any other job, with your exact total confirmed before we open anything.
Call (805) 273-8262 and tell the dispatcher where you are in Ventura County and what you're locked out of: a car lockout, a home lockout, or a business lockout.
Say if the engine is running, if anyone is shut inside, or if the keys are lost rather than locked in: each one changes how the call is dispatched. You get a realistic arrival window and your all-inclusive price range on that same call. On arrival, the technician verifies you're authorized, confirms your exact total within the published range, and gets you back in with damage-free methods wherever possible.
A note on "24/7 locksmiths": we're open 7:30AM–11PM Mon–Sat, and we publish that honestly. Round-the-clock ads are usually a call center rather than a locksmith: they take your job, sell it to whoever will drive out, and let the price get settled on your doorstep. Our price is published on this page before you call, and an evening job costs the same total as a morning one.

Each range is the full amount you can expect to pay, including the service call, labor, evening-hours timing, fees, and taxes.
| Service | All-inclusive total |
|---|---|
| Car lockout (unlock service) | $60 – $180 |
| Home lockout (unlock service) | $60 – $170 |
| Business lockout (unlock service) | $75 – $200 |
Your technician confirms your exact total, within the published range, before any work begins, and never charges more than the listed maximum. Unusual jobs get a firm written total quote up front.
