WHERE THIS COVERS

Nelson, town by town

Nelson
Richmond
Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
WHAT IT USUALLY COSTS

$70 to $120 an hour

Typical New Zealand rates, plus a callout and any hardware. Urgent and after-hours lockouts cost more, and a quote through NovaPay states the callout separately so you can see what you are agreeing to.
That is a New Zealand-wide range. What you are quoted in Nelson depends on the job and on how far somebody has to travel to it, which is why the quotes come back priced for your job rather than as a rate card.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is Nelson treated separately from Tasman?
Yes, because the data does — a Motueka or Golden Bay business is not a Nelson one, and Takaka Hill is a real barrier. Most Nelson businesses do cover Richmond and Stoke without a travel charge.
I am locked out right now. How fast can someone come?
Lockouts are the job locksmiths keep space for, so response is usually quick in the main centres. Say clearly that you are locked out and where you are, and that goes to them first.
Should I change the locks when I move in?
It is the usual advice, because you have no way of knowing how many keys exist. Rekeying is often cheaper than replacing the hardware and gives the same result.
Can a locksmith get into a car?
Many can, and some also cut and program modern transponder keys. Say the make, model and year in your request, because that decides who can actually help.
Will they need proof I live there?
Yes, and you want a locksmith who asks. Expect to show ID or something tying you to the address before they open the door.
