Mailbox, Shed and Interior Door Locks: The Small Jobs
Group them into one visit
The callout is the fixed part of the cost. Three small jobs in one visit costs far less than three visits, so make a list before ringing rather than dealing with each one as it annoys you. Small jobs batch well with larger ones, so a mailbox or shed lock is often done alongside repinning the main doors or replacing a failed exterior cylinder.
All three are routine and cheap. A mailbox lock is $50 to $150 replaced, a shed or outbuilding lock $50 to $200, and an interior bedroom or bathroom door opened in minutes for $50 to $150. None of them justify a big callout, and several can be done in one visit.
Interior doors and privacy locks
Bedroom and bathroom locks are privacy sets, not security locks, and they open with a simple release. If a child has locked themselves in, that is a priority call and often resolved in under a minute on arrival.
Mailboxes and communal doors
Some are property-controlled, particularly in apartment blocks, and need the management company involved. We will tell you which category yours is in before driving out.
