24 Hour Locksmith Service, Austin TX
Twenty-four hour service only means something if somebody is actually awake. Ours is a staffed rotation, not a diverted mobile phone, which is why a 3 a.m. call gets the same arrival window as a 3 p.m. one.
Overnight is quieter on the roads, so the drive is often faster than during the day. What changes is the rate: after-hours work costs more, and you are told exactly how much more before a van is sent.
The van stock does not change at night either. Cylinders, deadbolts, key blanks and programming equipment are all on board, so the job usually finishes on the first visit rather than waiting for morning.

Common questions
Is the overnight rate double?
No. It is a surcharge on top of the standard service call, usually between $25 and $65 depending on the hour and the distance. Nothing doubles.
How late can I call?
There is no cut-off. The line is answered at every hour including holidays.
Can I book for the morning instead to save money?
Absolutely, and we will tell you if waiting is the cheaper option. If the door still secures and you have somewhere to be, a scheduled daytime visit costs less.

Locked myself out at eleven at night with a toddler asleep upstairs. Quoted me on the phone, arrived in half an hour, had the door open in under five minutes without a scratch on it. Charged exactly what was quoted.

We turn over about forty units a year and they handle every rekey. Invoiced to the office, keying schedule emailed the same day, never had to chase them.

Dealer wanted a tow plus two days for a lost Kia key. These guys did it in my driveway in about an hour for a lot less. Two keys, both tested before he left.

Panic bar failed on a Friday during service. They came out after close, fixed it properly and talked me through what the inspector would be looking for.
