Service Area Questions

Pricing depends on the job and the location. we don’t quote $19 over the phone and charge $400 when we show up. Call and we’ll give you a real price up front based on what you need and where you are.

How much does Jack’s Locksmith charge?

There’s a mileage component for trips into Mitchell, McDowell, Madison, Avery, and north Buncombe. We tell you the number before we drive, not after.

How long will it take you to get to me?

Yancey County calls are usually 30 to 45 minutes during shop hours. Spruce Pine and Bakersville typically within the hour. Outlying counties depend on where the truck is on the route — we’ll give you a real ETA when you call.

Are mobile locksmiths in North Carolina required to be licensed?

Yes. NC law requires locksmiths to hold a state license issued by the NC Locksmith Licensing Board. If a “locksmith” can’t give you a license number, that’s a codesmith.
