Free locksmith invoice template
A locksmith call usually starts with a service fee for showing up, then a price for the work, then the hardware. After hours and emergency calls add a premium. The template below bills a residential lockout followed by a rekey and a deadbolt upgrade, so every part of the visit has its own line.

What goes on it
What to put on an invoice for locksmiths
- The service address and the type of job: lockout, rekey, lock change, key duplication or safe work
- A service call or trip fee, separate from the labor
- Time of day and any after hours or emergency surcharge
- Each lock rekeyed or replaced, with grade and brand for new hardware
- Key cutting, transponder programming or fobs as their own lines
- A line saying how you confirmed the customer's right to open the door
- Warranty on labor and hardware
How you bill
How locksmiths bill
The service call fee covers the drive and arrival, and the job is priced on top of it. Lockouts and rekeys are flat per lock, new hardware is priced at cost plus a markup, and car keys and transponder programming are priced by make and model. After hours work is usually a higher call fee, not a higher hourly rate, and the customer should hear it before you drive.
Because customers often feel rushed at the door, the invoice does the explaining afterwards. Clear lines for the call fee, the work and each part show that the price was fair, and they protect you from a dispute filed with a card company. Payment by card or Apple Pay on the spot is the norm for emergency calls.
Get paid faster
Tips to get paid faster
- State the call fee and the price of the job on the phone before you leave. The invoice then matches what the customer expected.
- Always note that you verified ID or proof of residence. It protects you and shows professionalism.
- Put each rekeyed lock on a count line, not one lump sum. It is clearer and easy to adjust if a lock turns out to be worn.
- Write the hardware grade and brand for new locks. It supports the warranty and helps with insurance claims after a break in.
- Collect payment at the door, then email the invoice as a receipt.
Watch out
Common invoice mistakes
- Leaving out the after hours fee, then explaining it when the customer is already upset
- One "labor and parts" line that hides the call fee
- Not recording the verification step on lockouts
