How do I create a locksmith invoice?

Open the invoice generator with the locksmith preset, fill in the customer, the service address and each line of work, then download it as a PDF or a PNG. Nothing to install and no account to make.

Can I use these templates for estimates?

Yes. The same lines work as a service estimate first. When the customer agrees, open them again as an invoice so the price billed is the price quoted.

How do I add a QR code?

Make a payment link with your own payment method, and the link becomes a QR code you can place on the invoice for the customer to scan.

Are the templates customizable?

Yes. Your logo, your colors, your line descriptions, your rates, your tax rate and your notes. Switch design at any time and your details stay.

Do you offer support?

Yes. There is a contact form for questions about the tools and the templates. It is a small team, so please include the page you were on.

More locksmith invoicing questions

What should a locksmith invoice include?

Show the service call with the time you arrived, any emergency rate on its own line, and each lock by make, keyway and whether it was rekeyed or replaced. Count the keys cut, note that ownership was verified on a lockout, and add your license number if your state licenses locksmiths.

How much should I charge for an emergency call-out?

Time of day, distance, how quickly you commit to arriving and the risk of working alone at night all push it up or down, as does whether the fee includes the first stretch of labor. The generator opens that line at $90.00 so the invoice is not blank; replace it with your own figure.

Should the call-out be charged if the lock opens in five minutes?

Yes, if you said so when you took the call. The service call pays for the drive and for being available at that hour, not for minutes on site. Give the customer the full price on the phone, including any emergency rate, then show the call-out and the labor as separate lines so a quick entry does not look overpriced.

When should a locksmith get paid?

For lockouts and residential calls, take payment on site before you leave, because there is rarely a second visit to collect at. Commercial clients and property managers can be given terms such as net 30 on a monthly invoice. For large jobs with ordered hardware, such as access control or high-security cylinders, ask for a deposit before you order.

What can I do if a locksmith customer will not pay?

On a lockout, agree the price before you open the door and collect as soon as the customer is inside. For installed hardware on a business account, send a statement and stop taking non-urgent jobs until it is paid. In many states unpaid work on a property can support a lien, but the rules vary, so check before relying on one.

Do I charge sales tax on locksmith work?

Usually on the hardware, and sometimes on the labor. Locks, cylinders and keys you sell are goods, taxable in most states that have a sales tax, while labor for lockouts, rekeying and installation is taxed in some states and exempt in others. Keep hardware and labor on separate lines and check your state's rules.

Should I keep a record of who I let into a home or car?

Yes. Write the name on the ID you checked and how ownership was shown, such as a lease, utility bill or vehicle registration, on the work order or invoice. Some states and cities require locksmiths to keep these records, and even where they do not, it is your answer if the entry is ever questioned.

Should I put key codes on the invoice?

Keep key codes off anything you send or print for the customer; a key code on paper is a security risk. Note the lock type, the cylinders rekeyed and how many key copies were cut, and keep codes in your own records.

Can I add access notes to the invoice?

Yes. A short note such as how you verified the customer's right to enter, or which door was opened, fits in the notes field and helps if the job is ever questioned.

  • Labor

What to include in a locksmith invoice

  • After-hours emergency rate. Night, weekend and holiday calls at your emergency rate on a separate line, so the customer sees the premium was for the timing, not the work.
  • Call time and arrival. The time you were called and the time you arrived, which backs up the service call fee when a lockout happens late at night.
  • Lock make and keyway. Brand, model, keyway and finish of each lock installed, so a later rekey or a spare key for that door can be matched.
  • Rekeyed or replaced. Whether each lock was rekeyed or replaced, counted per cylinder, since rekeying reuses the existing hardware and is priced differently.
  • Keys cut and tested. The number of keys cut, with restricted or transponder car keys priced separately, each tested in the lock before handover.
  • Ownership check. A note that you checked ID and proof of residence or ownership before opening, which protects you if the entry is later questioned.
  • License and job address. Your locksmith license number in states that license the trade, plus the address or vehicle you worked on, which ties the invoice to the property.

Made for the way locksmiths work

  • The lines every callout has

    Emergency service call, lock replacement, key cutting, labor. Pick locksmith and they are on the page.

  • Which lock, which door, on the paper

    Make and keyway on the invoice, because the next call about that door will come to you.

  • Photograph the fitting, sign the job

    A picture of the fitted lock and a signature ends the question about what was replaced.

  • Paid on the doorstep

    A QR on the invoice and it is settled before you are back in the van. Emergency work is not the time to invoice later.

  • Property managers, planned once

    The same property manager, the same monthly lock work. Plan the run once with the recurring invoice planner, then send each invoice on its date.

  • The quote becomes the invoice

    Priced on the phone, billed at the door, from the same lines.
