What you actually
get charged
There is a reason this trade has a bad name: the $19 lockout ad that turns into a $400 invoice. We do not run that play. Here is exactly what your bill is made of.
A service call fee
Covers dispatching a licensed technician to your address. Quoted on the phone, charged once, not per lock.
Labour, quoted as a range
Based on the job you describe. If what we find on site is different, we stop and re-quote before we work.
Parts at a listed price
Cylinders, deadbolts, handle sets and key blanks are priced from a rate card, not made up at the door.
An after-hours rate
Applies overnight, on Sundays and on public holidays. You are told the rate before a van is sent.
Ask for the number on the phone. If any locksmith will not give you one before they drive out, hang up and call somebody else — including us.
Austin and everywhere
within about an hour
Mobile vans working out of central Austin, so the whole metro is inside a short drive. If your town is not on the list, call anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.
Questions we get
every single day
Are you open at night and on weekends?
Yes. The dispatch line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays. Overnight and holiday calls carry an after-hours rate, and you are told what it is before a van is sent.
How much does a lockout cost?
You get two numbers on the phone: the service call fee, which covers getting a licensed tech to you, and the labour range for the job. The final invoice lands inside that range or we explain why before we start work.
How quickly can you get here?
Inside Austin city limits, typically 20 to 40 minutes. Outer suburbs such as Dripping Springs, Liberty Hill and Elgin usually run 45 to 75 minutes. Dispatch quotes a real window rather than an optimistic one.
Will you need proof that I live there?
Always. A driver's licence showing the address, a lease, a utility bill or closing paperwork. For a vehicle, registration or title plus photo ID. We ask everybody, every time, with no exceptions.
Do you damage the lock to open it?
Rarely. Non-destructive entry is the default: picking, bypassing or decoding. Some high-security cylinders have to be drilled and replaced, and we tell you that and price it before touching the door.
Locked out? We answer the phone at 3 a.m.
One call gets a licensed, insured technician rolling to you anywhere in the Austin metro.
