How Much Do Locksmiths Earn an Hour?

    Facts

    • A study by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that locksmiths around the country earned an average hourly rate of $18.05 in 2009. Locksmiths employed by the federal executive branch of the government earned at a higher-than-average rate of $24.40 per hour. Also paying higher than the country's median were scientific research and development services at $23.15 per hour and medical and surgical hospitals at $22.90 per hour.

    States

    • Locksmiths on the east coast earned higher than their colleagues across the rest of the country in 2009. The top-paying area for locksmiths was the District of Columbia, with an hourly mean wage of $24.56, followed closely by Connecticut at $24.39. New Jersey, at $22.07 and Massachusetts, at $21.10 also paid above the average hourly rates.

    Location

    • Although the state of California didn't make the BLS' overall top-paying list, its areas of San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale topped the BLS' list of highest-paying metropolitan areas for locksmiths, with an hourly mean wage of $29.40. Connecticut's New Haven area beat its own state median rate with a metropolitan average of $26.56 per hour. The third-paying highest metropolitan area for locksmiths, Atlantic City-Hammonton, also beat its own state median, paying $25.81 per hour.

    Training

    • Becoming a locksmith does not require a specific training degree, diploma or associate degree, or accreditation at a community college or technical school. Most locksmith education is done on the job through apprenticeships, internships or on-the-job training.
