My husband has been working at this locksmith shop in Florida for about two years now. He started out at $8.50 an hour and worked his way up to $10 an hour. We were just curious what the going rate was for a locksmith with two years experience that knew how to re-key, unlock, and replace locks on vehicles, houses, and random lockables, figured out master-keying early on, can give safes new combinations, and can program transponder keys. Please also give your location.

Use the Salary Wizard calculator at salary.com – you can enter the job and your zip code to see the average salary for that job in your specific area. The calculator does it based on annual salary, so just divide it by 2000 to see the hourly rate.
(2000 is considered the standard number of hours a person works a year – its 40 hours a week for 50 weeks, so it assumes 2 weeks of paid or unpaid vacation.)
