Fees and what changes the price
| Item | Amount | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Service-call fee | from $69 | Covers the drive and first look. May be credited toward the work depending on location and manager approval |
| Emergency / after-hours | +$30 – $120 | Nights, weekends, holidays. We are open 24/7 — the surcharge reflects the hour, not the job |
| Travel surcharge | varies | Only for distant parts of the island (far North Shore, Wai‘anae coast). None inside urban Honolulu |
| Parts | at cost + shown separately | Smart keys, locks, ignitions and modules are real parts; your quote itemizes them |
Beyond those, four things move a price: the lock (high-security and electronic take longer), the vehicle (make, model, year and key type set the hardware cost), whether you still have a working key (a spare is far cheaper than all-keys-lost), and quantity (six locks cost less per lock than one). Read the full Honolulu locksmith cost guide for the detail.
How to get an exact quote
Text or call (808) 758-4599 with: what happened (lockout, lost key, broken lock), the year/make/model if it is a car, whether you have any working key, and where you are. Most quotes take under two minutes, and the number we give you is the number you pay unless the job turns out to be different from what was described — in which case we tell you before continuing.
Why our prices are not the lowest you will see online
Honolulu has lead-generation sites advertising “$15–$19 service” that dispatch a subcontractor in an unmarked car and drill your lock for a $300 cash bill. We publish real numbers instead. Double Quick Locksmith is Hawai‘i GE Registered, insured by Thimble for $1,000,000, NASTF registered for vehicle security work, family-owned in Kaimukī since 2021 — and 4.9 stars across 290+ Google reviews. See our FAQ for what to ask any locksmith before you book.
Price FAQs
Do I pay more at night?
Yes — $30 to $120 more depending on the hour and your location. The base price of the job stays the same.
Can I get a price over the phone?
Yes for almost everything. Car keys need the year, make, model and whether you have a working key; locks need the brand and type. If a job needs an on-site look, we say so before dispatching.
Do you take cards?
Yes — credit and debit cards, tap-to-pay, and cash. You get an itemized receipt.
Is there a warranty?
Every key we make carries a 30-day guarantee; hardware we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty plus our labor guarantee.
