Why Half Off Locksmith Exists
"Locksmithing got hijacked by lead-gen middlemen quoting $19 and charging $400. We're the W-2 alternative."
Half Off Locksmith was started in 2016 by working techs sick of watching customers get gouged by fly-by-night call centers that bait with $19 ads and bill $400 in cash on arrival. Every Half Off tech is a salaried, background-checked employee — never a 1099 freelancer routed by an offshore dispatcher.
We post our flat rates publicly, send the exact price over text before dispatch, and route the closest tech from a fleet of mobile vans across the U.S. If we can't beat your last quote in writing, the trip is free.
Get The Half Off QuoteWhy Half Off Beats The Other Van
Three things that make us not just cheaper — but faster, safer, and easier to deal with.
Flat Rates In Writing
You see the price before we drive. No "diagnostic," no "lock complexity surcharge," no after-hours markup. Locked-in numbers, every time.
W-2 Techs · Marked Vans
Every tech is on payroll, drug-screened, background-checked, and rolls a wrapped, GPS-tracked van. No subbed-out, unmarked Civics.
90-Day Warranty
Every lock we touch is covered for 90 days. If a rekeyed pin sticks or a fob fails to pair next week, we come back free.

Quoted $45 over the phone, charged $45. Tech showed up in 16 minutes after a Target lockout in 100° heat and had me in the car in two. Other lockout services quoted me $179.

Bought a house, called Half Off to rekey everything. 7 locks done in under an hour, all matching one key, $89 flat. The previous "guy" my realtor recommended wanted $350.

Ignition cylinder gave out on my F-150. Dealer wanted $720 + tow. Half Off came to my driveway and rebuilt it for $189. Truck started on the first turn.

Locked my keys in the trunk at midnight with a sleeping kid in the backseat. They got someone there in 14 minutes. The dispatcher even stayed on the line.

We had Half Off rekey 14 doors at our dental office and install a Schlage master system. Quote was less than half what two other shops sent. Came back free for a sticky cylinder a month later.
