Free Invoice Template for Locksmiths
A 2 a.m. lockout, a whole-office rekey and a smart lock install are three different jobs with three different price logics. Break out the service call, the labor and the hardware so customers see why the total is fair — before they compare it to a hardware-store deadbolt.

Billing tips for locksmiths
- Quote the service-call fee on the phone and show it as its own line — lockout customers dispute surprise totals, not the rate they agreed to before you drove out.
- Separate hardware from labor on installs; a customer who sees the lock priced near retail stops assuming the whole invoice is markup.
- For commercial rekeys, list each door or cylinder count explicitly — property managers need that detail to bill tenants and approve payment faster.
Locksmith invoicing FAQ
What should a locksmith invoice include?
A locksmith invoice commonly includes your business and client details, an invoice number, issue and due dates, itemized services, applicable tax or discounts, the amount due and agreed payment terms. This template provides fields for those basics, but local and client-specific requirements can vary.
Can I change the sample line items in the locksmith template?
Yes. The pre-filled line items are editable starter examples for locksmiths. Change the descriptions, quantities and rates, add or remove rows, and the totals recalculate automatically.
When should locksmiths send an invoice — before or after the work?
It depends on the agreement. You can invoice on delivery, at agreed milestones or on a recurring schedule. For a larger or new-client project, a deposit and balance schedule can be agreed in writing before work starts.
Do locksmiths need to charge tax on invoices?
That depends on where you are registered, what you sell and the rules that apply to you. If tax applies, enter the appropriate rate so it appears separately in the totals. If you are unsure, check official local guidance or ask a qualified adviser; the template supports both taxed and tax-free invoices.
What can I do if a client doesn't pay my locksmith invoice on time?
Start with a polite reminder that includes the invoice and asks when payment is expected. If it remains unpaid, follow the escalation steps, late-fee terms and remedies already agreed in your contract, while checking any rules that apply in your location.
