What to put on a locksmith invoice

List the service call, then each lock or key on its own line, with the door or vehicle named in plain words.

  • your business name, phone and email
  • your customer's name and the address of the job
  • an invoice number and the date
  • each service and each part on its own line, with quantity and rate
  • any discount, tax and deposit already paid
  • the total, and how and by when to pay

What an invoice has to show can differ by state, so check what applies where you work. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.

What each line on this invoice is for

Locksmith work is counted: locks rekeyed, keys cut, hardware installed. The customer wants the count and the doors.

Service call
The trip. If your price for it differs by time of day, the invoice should show which one applied.
Rekey by the lock
The number of locks in the quantity column and the doors named in the description.
Keys
Counted, with a price for each.
Hardware installed
Its own line, with a plain name and the door it went on.

In the notes, write which doors you worked on and how many keys you handed over.

Where locksmith paperwork goes wrong: rekey, with one number. Say how many locks and which doors, and how many keys were cut.

Locksmith invoice questions

Should I price per lock or per job?

Per lock is the easiest to follow: the number of locks in the quantity column and your price for each.

How do I bill keys?

Counted, on their own line, apart from the rekey.

How do I bill a call at night?

If you charge more after hours, show it as its own line, and say the price on the phone before you drive out.

Should I list the doors?

Yes: front, back, garage entry. It tells the customer which locks now share a key.

The customer supplied the hardware. How do I show that?

Bill the install only, and say in the notes that the customer supplied the lock.
