Quick fee read: $3K franchise fee · 6% royalty/ad burden. These figures are directional screening data, not a substitute for reading the current FDD and speaking with existing operators.
Get Locksmith requires a total initial investment of $70K to $144K (midpoint approximately $107K), with an initial franchise fee of $3K. The ongoing fee burden is 6% . This is below the industry average of approximately 15.5%, leaving more margin for the operator.
Get Locksmith does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.
Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
