Prices???

[jnuhri]

I was wondering what some of you are getting for certain jobs. Like automotive opening, lock rekeying(per lock), house lockouts, business lockouts, special circumstances like drilling, bypassing or whatever you do? Service charges, whatever you charge. If your a 24/7 locksmith do you usually charge more for that service, what about weekends.

I would be interested to hear what people charge for other areas of service besides lockout calls. I haven't really fixed a price on things such as rekeying or keying-alike locks, and just play it by ear.

Things that interest me are:
* What is your standard markup on parts
* When do you charge hourly, and how do you apply this to other costs
* How did you settle on costs for certain services? How do you go about asking other locksmiths what they charge in your area?
