In Toronto, standard locksmith services typically range from $80 to $150 for basic lockouts, while more complex jobs like lock replacements or automotive key programming can cost between $150 and $400. Emergency services during nights, weekends, or holidays may include an additional service call fee, usually $50-$100.
